    As opposed to under capitalism where you have to cross your fingers and hoping that one of those winners will offer you a job with living wage, while another doesn’t charge you an arm and leg for housing.

      If none of the winners offer you a job, make your own, or acquire some marketable skill. You have options and opportunities.

      There aren’t as many options for housing as I’d like honestly. I’d prefer less regulation to allow for lower quality, cheaper housing. As it stands though, you still have options and the ability to improve your living conditions.

        Ableism at it’s best. I bet you‘re gonna ask for compensation if you ever get disabled for some reason.

        Smart people will do fine either way. I thought you were showing concern for the other people.

          I think everything I said applies to stupid people as well.

          There’ll always be people who need to rely on charity, but if even a guy in a wheelchair can make a good living and has more opportunities than he can count I’d say that’s a really good sign.
