I've benefited greatly from capitalism, still think the system sucks. Sure I've worked hard, or rather was even addicted to my work and software engineering is what I always wanted to do and was very good at. But I'm not going to say that someone that works just as hard or even much harder should have chosen a more profitable career when they can't even afford their home.

I'm very aware of how lucky I am, to have found a good job, kept it and reaped the benefits of being in the right place at the right time.

Capitalism thrives on inequality. It's a fundamental problem of capitalism which needs lots of checks and balances to keep it somewhat from spiraling out of control. It feels like we're losing that battle more and more as big corporations are taking over the world.
