If workers staying at home for a few weeks causes the entire global economy to shut down, then that should be a stark reminder that labor creates all wealth. (mastodon.social)

labor creates all wealth

who could disagree with this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

All tangible wealth. There's a lot of wealth that's completely fabricated from the system with no labor connection. A house of cards.

Yes, but not all labor is physical. What about the intellectual labor it takes to develop the systems that make that company operate?

What does that have to do with anything? Unless you're trying to insinuate that CEOs "labor" is intellectual labor and not just a bunch of rich kids in a made up position they received through nepotism jerking each other off at brunch about how "self-made" they are.
