let them keep $20 and give each of them a set of literal, *cheap* bootstraps, and let them get a *real job.*

Lettem keep hundreds of millions and all the non-lizards amongst them shouldn’t have realistic reasons to complain, plus society still benefits most hugely and you can still win capitalism (so they can’t argue completely any “necessary incentive” argument).

A lot of readers here are unimaginably wealthy compared to destitute villagers around the world, but we still prefer to have some nice things and only donate of our wealth. I’m fine extending that philosophy to anyone.

(In Burundi, the average earner won’t make $1000 this year.)
