Yep this is true. No one can earn a billion dollars by working, but you can earn a billion dollars by making money off of other people

The Inhumans of Late Capitalism page (not to be confused with the Humans of Late Capitalism social media accounts which is a similar but entirely different horse entirely) has over 178.6k followers, all eagerly waiting for the next juicy post making fun of our dystopian everyday lives.

As many of you have probably realized by now, capitalism is far from a perfect system. But what’s the alternative? Does one even exist? Anyone who’s ever opened up a history book knows that communism isn’t an alternative—it’s just a more brutal dystopia that resulted in the deaths of millions of people. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

However, things might not be as grim nowadays as we think. For instance, Paul Mason writes in The Guardian that we might be entering the postcapitalist era without even noticing it. The forces driving this are information technology, the rise of the sharing economy, and new ways of working. Mason’s point of view is refreshing because he paints a bright and sunny picture of the future, instead of one where we’re all doomed and fighting global warming, zombies, and the plague on all fronts.

According to Mason, information technology has reduced the need for work, blurred the “edges between work and free time,” and “loosened the relationship between work and wages.” The amount we have to work will further diminish as automation increases. But that’ll still take a while because our way of thinking has yet to catch up with the power of robotics.

Mason also states that we’re “seeing the spontaneous rise of collaborative production: goods, services, and organizations are appearing that no longer respond to the dictates of the market and the managerial hierarchy. The biggest information product in the world—Wikipedia—is made by volunteers for free, abolishing the encyclopedia business and depriving the advertising industry of an estimated $3bn a year in revenue.”

In other words, we’re seeing various new forms of work, ownership, and businesses that will (in the long run) change our society as we know it. But whether or not it’ll be a postcapitalist society or something else entirely, we’ll find out in a few decades.

How sick is that?! Sure, make a person loose their job so you get a discount!

Hmm it's good to set boundaries for your kids en give them a sense of responsibility. But not in the way you are proposing mr Coach-dad wich sons and daughters are probably real sad en feel no self worth because you give them the feeling they are never good enough for your approval.

This is probably the case where Chinese people buy shirts that say words in English without them knowing what it means, because English is considered cool. There's plenty of pictures of Chinese children wearing shirts that day obscene things

What's wrong with a handicapped delivery guy? A job is a job, he doesn't seem to mind.

Puccino's is well known for its often self-deprecating humour. From an advertising point of view it seems to be successful.

And it's an anti-homeless bench, too. That's not an armrest, it's too small for that... it's just meant to make it harder to sleep there.

Attention: you are expendable. You aren't special. There are others just like you now have a great day!

This church looks like it needs restoration. Hopefully, the advertising is just temporary to raise money.

You can buy things that make you feel happy at the moment, buying happiness is a whole other level and not possible in my book.

But how is this bad? They're not exploiting you for money, just trying to make sure you're ok and they're trying to make sure you have a plan on getting a safe place of your own to stay

This is common. I was told to do this type of thing when I worked in retail years ago tbh.

Um, how old is this billboard? You can't touch a home in San Francisco for less than $1 million.

I hope the glass at least turns to a frosted glass when you're in it. I want to cry in peace!

In don't think patronizing him is what he wants. Maybe he is happy he has got a job. I respect him for it though.
