Being a good inventor also means being able to distribute and produce your inventions. Great ideas are cheaper than competitive, efficient and affordable ones.
Both Tesla and Edison (who was a scammy capitalist, but got fucked over anyway). Both of them died poor.
So we can use this as an argument when someone says “It’s just because your skill isn’t actually valuable”.
No, your community isn’t valuable, and I am wasting my value on you.
There is no American dream.
Only American nightmare.
Like most dreams, it doesn’t make sense when you think about it.
“they call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it” -George Carlin
Technically…
A nightmare is a sort of dream…

How the fuck do you get that wrong?
Technically, AC is the alternative current system for DC.
Original meme maker probably had autocorrect on.
Destined to fall in love with the common pigeon, still died alone. Man was full of contradictions.
Capitalism rewards capital.
Some one write a children’s book…
America Lies and Your Future Dies
Including:
Innovation is promoted by capitalism
America was founded on the idea of Religious Freedom
Work hard and succeed
We made a deal so walk Natives
The rule of Law and the death of dissenters…
Any others you’ve shaken off from your childhoods?
E: sorry off topic. this was a response to the pugs explanation
I thought AC stood for Alternating Current
At the time, it was also an alternative system, since DC was the standard
It does
This is the alternative meaning.

Explanation: Nikola Tesla was a prolific and wildly influential inventor of the early 20th century AD. He also was in constant dire financial straits despite not having any major expensive vices (other than inventing), because, unlike his contemporary Thomas Edison, Tesla was not adept at maneuvering business deals (and certainly not with the cutthroat ruthlessness that Edison displayed - several times at Tesla’s expense).
Capitalism is better than feudalism because it rewards a wider range of intellectual ability and success than feudalism does… but that range still does not include innovation. You wanna be paid for your innovation in a capitalist system? Better have a lawyer and a business agent on hand as soon as you get out of the patent office. :/
You also need money or to find an investor to pay for marketing, just because something is innovative doesn’t mean people will want it until you tell them they want it.
I considered that part of having a business agent on hand to make those deals and connections, but yes.
That’s why we need guilds.
I’ve read about guilds literally banning innovation in a 12 part series on German history.
Nobody would fund his crazy idea of free electricty for all, since there was no return on that investment. Capitalism is why we don’t have free unlimited energy.
Oh and Edison stole a shitton of his (and other people’s) ideas while simultaneously slandering them to fuck their reputation and improve his own.
fuck, telsa gave the world so much good and got done dirty but yet certain persons today who this fuck underage children, gives their wives a bad std and still some of the richestest people in history, burn the whole fucking system down
Good inventions in capitalism has their first use for killing people
