Zuckerberg is the perfect evidence to illustrate the fact that wealth inequality is completely out of control and the current rendition of American capitalism is hopelessly flawed. That he has become so insanely rich from a business he has no real understanding of or control over boggles the mind.
I can’t believe how much bluster there is right now as to why Zuck isn’t making more appearances or talking more about this. The reason is obvious. He’s a complete stooge who is totally out of his depth. His immense wealth is the result of being in the right place at the right time while taking advantage of the right people with the right ideas. In other words, he got lucky. Luck is reason enough to get rich if you happen to win the lottery, but things are pretty fucked up when a supposedly merit-based “businessman” owes nearly all of his fortune to luck.
Our economy is a fucking scam. The smartest, most talented, hardest working person in the world doesn’t deserve ownership of that kind of wealth, let alone a chump like Mark Zuckerberg.
