Every industry and business empire ultimately starts with clever individuals working very hard on ideas

That is the flowery idealist narrative that the capitalist class relentlessly promotes, to the point that you’re now promoting it for them, but in fact each one starts with capital.

Well okay then where do new businesses come from, dad? Does the stork bring them? The word "capital" is just a meme-level grasp of it, like describing the whole economy as "jobs".

I gave you a link to a basic introduction of what capital is, but instead of engaging with the material, you say β€œit’s just a meme.”

I said describing the process of creating a business with the single word "capital" is meme-level thinking. So is posting a picture of some books to pretend to be smart when you don't have anything of substance to say. This is what Idiocracy looks like. It's exactly why Trump won, and you're part of the problem. Go ahead and rant some more, I won't see it.
