While that racist Boer dildo Elon rakes #profit blowing up #rockets in our shared atmosphere ... who do you suppose gets the bill for the negative externalities? Hmm?
Oh, right. We do.
#Capitalism exists on the back of an accounting scam. Repeat after me, and burn it on the back of your eyelids:
There is no *profit* if we force capitalists to account for the negative impacts we allow them subsidize at our collective expense.

What negative impacts do a great musician, a very skilled surgeon, or a freelance journalist have?
So Justin Bieber, U2, Jay Leno or Gloria Steinem aren't capitalists?

@tripu @LeftistLawyer I mean at least some of those people have staffs and employees so maybe? But generally capitalists refer to people who own businesses/land/tools that employ other people where the business owners(capitalists) gets the profits and others get set wages. So U2 is an employee of a capitalist who owns the arena they play in, while maybe also being a capitalist who employs the people selling shirts at their show.
@tripu @LeftistLawyer none of those are capitalists. The capitalists are the people who own the hospital, record label and newspaper, not the ones who work in those businesses.
