[quote=@SleepingSilence]Mostly stones, that she finds and/or buys herself. <.<

Yes, she's personally invested in invading poor countries for their oil...FFS...Even trolls wouldn't say something that stupid.[/quote]

You didn't answer my question. She pays taxes, right? Does this not mean, that in some small way, she in complicit in supporting the regimes of country's that are personally invested in invading poor countries for their oil? I think, being in a country that isn't being violently mined for oil might have something to do with the fact that she can make jewelry, but what do I know.

[quote=@SleepingSilence]You didn't ask for that. But again...how did Bill Gates creating the internet. Ya know the thing you use, hurt anyone and make people poor, I'm waiting...[/quote]
You're right. Microsoft's business practices are all squeaky clean! Chalk one up to capitalism! (Also, DARPA made the internet lmao-- he helped to make an OS)

[quote=@SleepingSilence]You didn't even spell the word right...:I[/quote]

Do you really want to discuss ad revenue? Patreon is cool though, I do like Patreon-- though it's a notable shift from how the system would like people to earn livings so

Again-- bigger picture, most of these things aren't even businesses, first off-- but more avenues for expressing creativity or some type of art, that people have to monetize, because of they don't, they'd literally starve to death. Let's take this away from a focus on the American poor, or even the global poor. 

The intrinsic ties between sates-- some corrupt and democratic, some corrupt and "communist" some somewhere in between-- and the prevailing global economic beast we call "capitalism." I think it's clear there are many people that suffer because of it-- I find it's more prudent to focus on the fact that if we were to look at this as some "pyramid" where the things that get fucked over most end up on the bottom: and it's the planet. By having so many countries that encourage infinite growth of wealth and resources, the thing that gets fucked over most ALWAYS is the environment. And in fucking over the environment, we fuck over ourselves. 

Does that mean EVERY business owner is LITERALLY hurting someone who works for them? No. But, by funneling money to the top, by continuing to allow the system to continue in it's current form, we are all complicit the crimes of the 1%, of states fighting over material resources at the behest of lobbyists. We're all fucking over the planet, and the animals (read: us) that rely on it's resources to live.
