Dear ‘capitalists’ who keep using this excuse to defend what they do: Distribution is different from scalping. One has legitimate costs for what you suggested to keep a brick and mortar business running. The other is fleecing without cost and it’s not exactly for the altruistic reason of ‘just surviving’ nor is it interested in anyone else’s ability to survive. It is the unchecked reason why the planet is in the hole now.
I think this isn't any kind of defense of capitalism. He's just saying that meme isn't specific enough about it being about scalping. "Distribution" also falls into the description that the meme gives.
I’ve seen these kinds of capitalists defend not paying a liveable wage to someone. They are purposely misreading these messages now if they still think ‘no one wants to work anymore’
That still doesn't make this message clear.
You’re intentionally being obtuse, troll.
