So you’re taking from others who earned it and give it someone that didn’t? Got it.

As noted in the other comment Poland is not even getting that much money per capita, it’s just a fairly large country.

They are still getting half of what Belgium is getting and unlike the overwhelming majority of bureaucrats in Brussels Polish farmers actually produce something useful.

Yes, in the EU they call it 'sharing'

That's like the entire point of the EU yes, most people agree it's better than what we used to have, considering how it went in 1914 and 1939 for example

Money is a claim on future work - it only works if the system works.

This is what capitalists literally do with workers. It's not like capitalists are creating anything valuable, they're just leeches extracting wealth.

I rather have workers get the money than more corporate welfare.

> It's not like capitalists are creating anything valuable,

Some capitalists create enormous value, some destroy it, some are essentially passive recipients of returns generated by others.

Capitalists provide real productive functions like capital allocation, risk-bearing, founding, governance, monitoring, etc.

No capitalists just provide money, something other entities can as well. Often better too.

Capitalists are completely useless when they have no workers, so I don't understand your points outside of "wow capitalists require a lot of workers to exist."

Hence the rush towards LLM systems, the dream of perpetual labor machine is too enticing.

There is also no risks for capitalists, do we live on the same planet where the stated US economic policy isn't to socialize the risks and privatize the gains?

So you argue no capitalists ever lost money? It happens all the time, the risk is real.
