"It's not zero sum! A rising tide lifts all boats!"

People at the top are paid with money overcharged to customers and underpaid to workers.

Ugh. The tides are literally zero sum. The moon does not create extra water.

And growing up by the sea, one of the first things I learned about rising tides is that they drown people (who don't have boats).

Ah, but climate change can create more water by melting the ice caps! That's capitalist innovation right there.

And traditional media knows that’s untrue since 1970.

Besides. Porks whine that what’s good for the poors is “bad for the economy”. Does a billionaire not have a ‘scarcity mindset’ when he screeches against raising wages or lower unemployment levels?
