Presumably this is satire, as these are not equivalent statements. We don’t share horsepower around, but we do share wealth around, and it can be redistributed.

    A better comparison would be: “I’d win the race if the winners weren’t the ones who made up the rules.”

  • I think a more accurate analogy would be “I’d be faster if Lamborghini didn’t steal the majority of my power output.” Money is made up (especially when we think about company valuations and the ability to use stock as collateral) so I don’t think it’s accurate to say there is limited wealth. Wealth distribution isn’t tackling the fundamental injustice of capitalism.

    Another minor point of contention: Lamborghini’s are at best 4-5 times faster than a shitbox car. A single-billionaire earns 20 000 times more than the average person. The scales are all out of wack. A closer comparison would be the difference between a private jet and a person walking. Even that would only be a 200x difference. A snail and private jet is much closer to that 20 000x difference. It’s so absurd a difference I’m scale that the comparison is hard for people to imagine.

    It’s definitely not sure satire. You people really need to get back on Facebook. It’s nuts. It’s fucking insane
