Henry Ford was generally a racist and a bad person, but he understood something our current broligarchs have completely forgotten.
He said: I have to pay my workers enough to afford the products theyβre building.
Give them a house, decent schools, reasonable healthcare.
If I do that, theyβre not descending on my Dearborn mansion with pitchforks while I eat my caviar.
Weβve lost that plot entirely.
We have broligarchs who want to be trillionaires and theyβre missing the lesson that a deeply flawed man figured out a hundred years ago.
Capitalism works, but only if people believe the game is worth playing.
Right now they donβt and history is very clear about what comes next.
