Terry Gou, the billionaire founder of major Apple supplier Foxconn, announced on Monday a bid to be Taiwan’s president in January elections, saying he wanted to unite the opposition and ensure the island did not become “the next Ukraine”.
Gou is the fourth person to throw his hat in the ring, but his poll numbers before his announcement put him well behind the front-runner, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) William Lai, who is currently vice president.
Well that doesn’t sound dystopian at all /s
That’s all we need rn is another “gilded age” while capitalism continues to run amok.
Too fucking bad you are also part of capitalism.
Well fuck, you are the one who just hurled a senseless statement out there in the first place, I just answered with another one.
What I despise with your statement is that the famous antidote is never mentioned. Replace or fix capitalism with what and how? And if you dont know anything better, why do you think its “bad”?
Do you lack the ability to learn from things outside of your direct first hand experience? History can’t teach you? A mentor can’t teach you? Can’t pick things up from context?
I am not the person you’re responding to but if you know history you can see why everything else has failed and can’t be an improvement over capitalism. It would show a lot of good faith if you actually made a history backed argument instead of vaguely alluding to the existence of an argument.
