You know what that capital does?

Buy shit.

Including labor.

That capital can buy all the product they need to corner the market.

Great.

Those boxes need motion.

Even with automation, someone has to design it, build it, run it, troubleshoot it, fix it, etc.

Money doesn't do shit but what people tell it.

Of all the resources capital can purchase, generally speaking, human labor is by far the most critical.

We can play this "X needs Y" shit all day.

Obviously, people need to get paid, and capital is what allows for those jobs to exist.

But as I pointed out, Johnny and Martha want to sell their family secret sauce. They can only be so successful doing that in-house, with their kids or whatever.

The secret sauce is a hit, and they want it to go national.

Cool.

They don't get to just sit in their kitchen with the kids and do that. They have to expand. And if they want it to expand, I don't give a half of an eighth of a fuck how much capital they have, if they want that shit to go national, then they should make partners of the people who put in the sweat to make that happen.

Because capital doesn't load boxes.
