Your college degree and you ability to write at a college level doesn't give you the right to lie and say whatever you want with anything to back it up. As I've mentioned, I may not write very well but I can read very well and listen very well.
We on the Blue side are not Communists. Most of us recognize Communist rule for tyranny, repression, and a high body count, with Communist rule typically becoming reactionary due to an ideology that rejects real change.
Race and class are not intertwined as much as they used to be, as our system does a fine job of ensuring that supremely-talented black people get showcased for their legitimate achievements. It does badly at bringing people out of poverty, especially as inheritance becomes the predominant means of getting wealth from one set of people to another, and because bureaucratic institutions establish low, rigid ceilings for anyone not born to all the advantages of class privilege. People from among the poor might show some empathy for people in distress, which is inconsistent with an economic order that punishes poverty.
We now have a pay-to-play economic system. Everything has a high price, and all that really matter is that the economic elites get what they want. Therefore, making everything from health care to education fiendishly expensive (and the Trump design of privatization is to ensure that monopoly gougers get control of everything from schools to highways). Nothing matters to Trump and his ilk except that the Right People get whatever they want, and the rest of us suffer as much as is necessary to satisfy the unrestrained greed of such people.
Do you have a clue about the cost of business? Do you have a clue about anything that relates to business? Here, I'll give you a clue about the cost of the refrigerant you might need to be added to an air conditioner some day. The price of a pound includes the cost of an expensive machine for reclaiming refrigerant and expansive tanks to store used refrigerant in that are required by federal law and additional schooling and fee's associated with cards that are legally required and distributed by the EPA, expensive refrigerant gauges, expensive instruments, future disposal costs and the cost of the refrigerant itself which isn't cheap either.
If you are just starting out in business, you will need to spend about 3,000-4,000 just on refrigeration tools. As you said, if you want to play like us, you better be prepared to anti up/ drop some serious change/ part with thousands of dollars/ pay the initial entrance fee and you better be smart, better be tough, better be stubborn, better be willing to make sacrifices or you're not going to be in business in five years and you'll most likely be down thousands of dollars.
