Stella's Place

Great quote from an X post:

“Capitalism is not zero-sum. Wealth is not buried treasure that billionaires steal from peasants. Wealth is created when innovation scales. The entrepreneur risks capital. Workers choose employment voluntarily. Customers choose products voluntarily. Investors fund growth voluntarily.”

“That system dragged global extreme poverty from roughly 40% of the world population in 1981 to under 10% before the pandemic. Meanwhile, the socialist systems idolized by the prosecution produced shortages, blackouts, rationing, and collapse.”

“The real fantasy is believing bureaucrats create more value than innovators.”
