    You want somebody that has hired

    In other words - a capitalist

    You want somebody who’s first inclination is not to do what’s in their own best personal interest.

    In other words - not a capitalist.

    Can’t have both, and we know which one we have.

    Would you hire somebody that has a long history of stealing from people - of being unethical?

    So - a capitalist, just like you (Cuban).

    This is the kind of bullshit billionaires say to try and legitimise their existence to us, but mostly to themselves. He really believes he is an ultra ethical person who looks out for the interests of others before his own, because he works hard at telling himself he is. Harder than at most things I would wager.

      Whether or not he believes hes ethical, hes capitalist, a piece of shit, whatever; you cant dismiss the point hes giving.

      Everything he mentions is something that we need to value as a society because all this blind animosity leads us away from the truth and results in repetition of a cycle.

      Now if only we could actually hold on to the sentiment and apply it to our decision making.

        Of course I can dismiss his point, because there is no value to it, he’s full of shit and is only looking out for his own interests while criticising others who do exactly the same. Fuck “Stepfords”, fuck “job creators” fuck make believe “ethical capitalists”, none of the things he values are things I value, nor should society at large.
