Simple. Learn to play that game and try to succeed.

If you get up and just go to work every day expect to fail. Learn to use the stock market. Learn to use options. Start small. Like real small. Don’t use real money. Just write down on a piece of paper and figure out your results.

Once you’re making money on paper then put in a small amount of money and try. Try. Try. Try. Try again.

You can’t stop capitalism but you can use it in your favor.

Do be mindful that this attitude is precisely how our ancestors entrapped us in this terrible catastrophe of a situation to begin with. Don’t blame–that’s what they did too.

Sorry but name something better then capitalism to allow people to change their position in life.

feudalism, tribalism, mercantilism, anarchy, colonialism, distributism, mutualism, syndicalism.

Who are the ‘people’ you’re referring to here? The privileged and powerful or the distraught and the hopelessly impoverished? Why is ‘position change’ our compass of goodness concerning economics systems? If you’re planning on just playing the ‘false dilemma’ game, I will concede immediately–if it’s only this or that, you’ll find me hard-pressed to vote in favor of anything non-capitalism, but that’s only because I know the alternative is something much worse yet still technically capitalism with a different name/label

I’m all for trying to make it out, but for most people day trading in particular is a terrible idea and 90%+ lose money. I think most people would be better advised to just dump money into an index fund or other longer term investment and not think about it too much, at least that way you are betting on the market as a whole rather than your personal trading skills vs pros, which isn’t likely to work out.

I would agree. Put money where you said. Then try what I said if they can figure it out and be successful great go for it, if not at least they have the fund.
