Is it IQ? Is it a gene? Is it cuz speaking Spanish Caribbean style neutralizes the opportunities to make money? Is it cuz we are not entrepreneurs like Rockefeller and Carnegie and Vanderbilt? Is it cuz we are racially mixed people? Is it cuz we drink too much, dance too much, and play cards and dominoes too much? Is it cuz the New Yoricans have invaded Levittown in Bayamon? Is it this or that? I don't subscribe to such unscientific explanations for why some people live in poverty and deprivation and others don't. If some do. Alla ellos.
What is keeping us from being successful folks? Is it cuz we are just INFERIOR? I don't think so. Some might think it is because we are not good at starting our own businesses and so on. That we are passive. Etc. etc. It doesn't really matter what you think. The truth is that there is something at work that is systemic people. And systems have to be changed or they stagnate people. PUNTO.
Hey folks, we can just stop discussing this issue about Capitalism. It is eternal folks. It is the only system ever conceived by humanity and it is perfection. Let us all sing like Stevie Wonder and say---
Capitalism is the best! Don't you worry about a thing! Factories closing and fleeing Puerto Rico for cheaper labor markets---hey, don't you worry about a thing----buy your cheap made in the People's Republic of China stuff on credit!! Don't you worry about a thing. Right Nelson? Or taking a note from Miranda....no seamos babosos. LOL!! Nelson, I will be standing on the side when you check it out. And you get off your trip (with capitalism)....don't you worry about a thing.....Cuz I'll be standing on the side when you check it out....and find out it is a destructive force in the world if left absolutely to its own devices without any regulation. It SUCKS. It is the quintessential alienated and facelessness of humanity that looks for expansion, surplus value, and private possession of resources and keeping the vast majority of people working for nothing and dying like commodities. That is what it is. What it is for you is something different. That is the way it is folks. Don't you worry about a thing. Cuz I will be standing on the side when you check it out. Lol. I like that song. I really do. So appropo. It is better than saying a one liner about now. I rather see a video.
