Owners win.
If have a plot of land with some cherry trees on it, I can get a landless person to pick most of them for free.
I make an offer “for every 100 pounds/kilos of cherries you pick for me, I’ll let you keep 1”. If the person who receives such an offer has no land of their own, the have to agree to avoid starvation.
That’s why our system needs a huge class of the landless, resourceless, and assetless people. Then for the priveledge of touching a privatized resource you have accept the privateer’s conditions.
Fencing off resources and protecting the fence by the threat of death is how this scam works. And it is impossible to fix this societal problem by simply trading more and better as an individual. The ruleset of the game is tuned for mass free energy extraction from the assetless class at the macro level.
