It's a little crazy that the employees aren't getting paid
It’s not pay, it’s the loss in value of the currency.
Inflation is only caused by one thing - an increase in the money supply. When that increase occurs too fast, you get unsustainable inflation which is what we are experiencing now.
Same thing happened to the Weimar Republic in the 1920s but to a much greater degree.
Or go read what happened to Zimbabwe in the 2007 when they were massively overprinting their currency (and not reporting it) to pay military officials and corrupt politicians exorbitantly.

Which creates opportunities in the markets for people who identify bad actors.
Without profit motives, we're probably still tilling ground and living hand to mouth.

I understand how money works. Lol. Thanks.
Clearly you don’t considering you are trying to equate investment growth to currency printing.

As we become more wealthy and you add barriers, the window shifts upward and becomes a floor, which becomes unattainable for those at the bottom.
I will give you an example of something where I'm showing that I agree with you.
It costs $850,000 for a medical grow license in Illinois. That basically prices every small operation out of existence and only allows the wealthiest of grower to flourish. That is an example where I would totally agree with you about crony capitalism. I would add, however, that these regulations happen because someone who is very wealthy paid for a politician to do that so that they can keep the business. Meaning that it seems that profit motive only will create more situations where someone who has money already will block everyone else
Then there is the DuPont dumping chemicals regulations that are a very welcome regulation in my opinion because of the amount of harm that it was doing dumping forever chemicals into a town and killing people. Point is, if it's for the public good then regulations are necessary.
There are also Plenty of examples Of lack of regulation harming The price period Right after covid A lot of companies used the Excuse Of inflation To artificially raise some of their prices And And many of those cases there was no competition So they got to get away with it Period We only have four major meat manufacturers in this country And two companies that make baby formula. Pretty easy for those guys to jack up prices. It would take way too much capital for there to be any meaningful competition so this is where regulations are necessary to lower prices. It works both ways

Good example: Bronny James...you really think this kid would be getting the attention he gets if it weren't for self-proclaimed King James?

True. I think most people are ok with some protections, but we are regulating our people out of opportunity.
We keep expanding government and cost. No wonder we are a nation of wage earners working for massive corporations, thats what our policies have dictated.
Free the people, man. Let them find opportunities and create a life.

I find your generalization to be bereft of any intellect. I am a white Progressive and it's hard to argue with the fact that incredibly impoverished and marginalized communities have a harder time pushing forward developing properly. I find it odd that you have to go back 300 years considering that we literally had Sundown laws in people's lives who are living now. Let's not acts like Alabama would have integrated without help from the federal government. Marginalized communities definitely have a harder time and there's no getting around that no matter how you want to twist it

This folks, is what complete looney tunes insanity looks like. Our mental health system has failed. This poor soul is a perfect example. I will pray for you.

Exactly.
Different problems, but still broken. I'd put money on the street kids when it comes to survival.
