Yes. For profit insurance should absolutely be abolished as it almost always represents a failure of a social safety net that should exist in the first place. Also hurricane insurance shouldn't exist and shouldn't payout unless the home was constructed to be expected to survive 20feet sea-swells (50feet by 2050).

that's a wild pivot

giving up your own personal wealth in a way that has absolutely no impact on the capitalist system literally isn't betraying poo poo. a betrayal is a violation of some sort of trust. the only people who you could claim he "betrayed" maybe are his kids

What on earth is a golf simulator?

a box you stand in and hit a golf ball against a net or some other kind of back stop that has a few radar units to measure the speed and trajectory (and spin I think) of the ball and can tell you how far/where the ball would have went, often displaying it visually against said back stop

Google software engineers are douches, but all workers should be unionized. Collective bargaining for everyone. Or AK-47s. Workers' choice.

can't leave it up to choice because then you could take the AK but get all the benefits of the union anyway while the union members don't get the benefit of your AK. give workers both

Someone on a reasonably high 6-figure income can easily end up accruing more than a million dollars, which is enough to maintain higher than the median individual income off the returns alone.

I don't think it's the same as someone who is super wealthy, but I also don't think it's the same as most normal working class people. Someone in such a position could easily come to the self-interested semi-rational position that the status quo is preferable to left-wing goals. They don't have anything to clearly and directly gain from left policies and, as a result, benefit from defense of the status quo.

vvv

yeah I feel like someone who can live solely off their investments but chooses not to in order to accrue more money or keep a ridiculous standard of living is a member of the capitalist class even though they �work�

e: and I don�t mean subsistence level living, I�m talking about the ability to live comfortably in their chosen geographic location solely off passive income, so it�s a different standard for someone who lives in Idaho vs Manhattan

e: Your argument is basically that any income above what's needed to not die makes you bourgeois.

no it isn�t, lol. read what they wrote again. a landlord who makes $100,000/year from their properties but still works a job won�t suddenly lose all their holdings if they quit, that property will continue to generate income whether or not they work

I'm asking about luxury items like an iphone or piece of art or a Ferrari or something.

an iphone or something like it is arguably a necessity, I don't see why art wouldn't be commissioned or traded on a personal basis, and things like Ferraris probably wouldn't exist as they do today. they'd still make cars like that for racing or as engineering feats but it would be like rocket ships are now, not really for personal consumption or use
