Late Stage Capitalism
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

I don't think that's what Jeff would do. Is he being stupid?
He did, in fact, work at McDonald's when he was young.
I didn't know that. High school job apparently. The earliest of his work with which I had any familiarity was at a hedge fund called Shaw.
In context, his time at McD still has exactly zero to do with his success. It didn't get him into a Princeton eating club, that's for sure.
I'm light of the new evidence I'll upgrade Mark's comment from 'total non-sequitur' to 'false equivalence in bad faith'.
If it was my interview and I had to think of what could have given Jeff the singular, all-encompassing drive to become as wealthy as possible from an early age, it's right there on his wiki page. Dad was a broke unicyclist and a drunkard. That'd give anyone a complex.
So did lots of people. Why use an evil slave driver as a reference?
