Capitalism Hurts
View allAll Photos Tagged capitalism
I call this 'capitalism' as this depicts the world we live in today. Many sad people who are having difficult times keeping up with the cost of living today. Many holding multiple jobs to keep a roof over their heads. What has become of us. Taken in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Wonderland sculpture by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. I went inside the sculpture to get this view. It's a female face.

And, on the day before Thanksgiving, I tender my suggestion for objects for which we are grateful.
Merry Thanksgiving all.

And I don't want you and I don't need you
Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It's all relative to the size of your steeple
You can't see the forest for the trees
You can't smell your own shit on your knees
There's no time to discriminate
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way
Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful or something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat the most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It's as anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way
Old-fashioned fascism will take it away
Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful or something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
There's no time to discriminate
Hate every motherfucker
That's in your way
The beautiful people
The beautiful people (aahh)

Capitalism is one thing - greed and lust for power, is mostly the
same.
Control the billionaires !
An Abstraction,
made with stable diffusion,topaz and photoshop.
Definition: a small elite securing and extracting ("raking in") an excessive slice of the economic cake without investing in the common good. In the UK, this has created a high-inequality, high-poverty cycle. This cycle is the responsibility of the British Tory Party and, consequentially, the rake ought to be its visual signature - not the tree.

Street and social documentary photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I don't usually shoot the homeless unless I can tell a strong story and keep them anonymous. This shot cried out to me as the juxtaposition was so striking, especially given that it was a bitterly cold day. Thank you all for supporting my photography and I wish you all a fabulous weekend of shutter clicks.
I am in agreement with most ethical photographers in NOT making the homeless an object for exploitative photography. However, I made an exception in this case for two reasons: one, the justaposition of the homeless man with the Sephora store expressed an important failure of American inequality that seems indifferent to the lives of the very poor and; two, because homelessness in American cities is really reaching a breaking point. We, as photographers, have a contribution to make in this vital discussion.
Capitalism is like cancer. Once it enters a host country's economy, it will spread and devour labor, the environment, and any other impediment to the growth of profit. Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. However, the world cannot continue to get richer as the earth becomes poorer. Just as the only inevitability in life is death, the only inevitability about our capitalist way of life, is the death of our planet [and our civilization].

Thank you Philippe for the texture.
Since Phillippe declined my invitation for a glass of wine
and I'm feeling just fine I seat comfortably in my leather chair,
if I want I can spin it, if I don't...
I feel free, and I cannot put a price on that.
Free to pay my debt, my bills, and maybe if you don't have none of that.
God bless you, say amem on your comments and please answer my philosophical questions.
Do you like Capitalism, I personally love it, but I think that the only thing missing is a Cap. on it, let's say ...
Mine is 5 million, and I will never get there unless you force me to open a Go Fund me and you throw lot's of money on it, please, be my guest and don't be fucking cheap.
I get my 5 mil, them I help another one of my comrades to get theirs, and we pay it forward.
How about that?
Socialism ...
If you are on the top of the food chain, you seat whenever you want, if you don't you work and get paid very little.
They'll give you lot's of education, but you can only learn of they want you too.
Freedom, yea, saw lots of news of people swimming towards our shore.
Will they put a wall there?
Let me stop.
Going nowhere....

Today, now, thinking about how the world will be very soon.

They were preparing for a parade, but the streets were still empty. A few of these mobile vendors were walking the streets hoping to make a sale. I have the utmost respect for these folks, many of whom are immigrants. They struggle to make ends meet and engage in business or labor as best they can. Their dreams may be large, but the reality is a whole lot grittier.
Here are two of real estate billionaire Stephen Alan Wynn’s Wynn and Encore luxury hotels and casinos, Las Vegas Strip, Nevada. He has more. When the topic occasionally popped up with hotel owners that I have spoken with, that is to say franchisees and franchisors, they were in awe of the dreamy properties and hotel empire that Mr. Wynn built. Isn’t capitalism grand?

Street Photography in Havana, Cuba. I like the juxtaposition of the USA stars & strips shorts against the backdrop of the Cuban flag street art and the image of Che Guevara. What would Che say...
Here is a blog I have written on my website with more Cuban Street Portraits, check it out:
