POLITICAL THREAD

[Fanon]

LOL that post shows you arent very knowledgeable about how banking works. So my money is just sitting in a vault somewhere drawing dust?

You’re trying to obfuscate with nonsense. Investments and subsistence spending don’t have the same velocity. Basic economics.

Here I’ll explain it in layman’s terms so maybe you can understand. When you’re poor you have to spend what money you have to live. When you’re rich you don’t.

 

[Joe-King]

Liberals think ALL wealthy people should share with them. This lib moron I know, that's all he talks about. If they (the wealthy) would share, health care costs would be lower. If they (the wealthy) would do this everybody could afford a new home. It goes on and on.

In typical democrat lib fashion, others should work for it so they can get it free. Isn't that what they are doing now?

Out of curiosity how old are you and what do you do for a living?

Because if they don’t we’ll eventually just cut their heads off and take it back. As has happened throughout all of history. Is that what you’re advocating for and want to happen?

30s, coal testing. Why? And how about yourself?

 

[Johnnie Africa]

30s, coal testing. Why? And how about yourself?

Does that require a degree? Competitive to get into? Chance for advancement?

40s and in healthcare

You seem disenfranchised, just wondering why your expectations seem so different from your reality. I find it curious what peoples expectations are in correlation to what they’re doing to meet them.

Karl got a new handle for Christmas but what he really needed was a book about basic economics.

It’s Christmas so I’ll save my thoughts about where this is all headed. But it won’t be toward peace on earth.

It isn’t me that doesn’t care. It’s y’all. Not a single person responded to my post calling out our fake meritocracy. Because you have no rebuttal. As you yourself state here, politicians are the perfect example. Are these people that run our society the most capable? Are Nancy Pelosi and AOC the best minds and work ethics our country has to offer? No? Almost like merit and competency aren’t what propel someone forward in our system, huh? The lie of meritocracy the corpos feed you to keep you in line.

So if the rich deserve what they have in our society, how’d they get it then?

you know the answer and you're afraid of it. for MOST millionaires it is a frugal lifestyle and hard work over time. For many, it is providing value to other people in such a way they are WILLING to spend their hard-earned money on your product or service, taking risks and investing all they have in order to dream big. but you think you're smarter and can decide for everyone what they deserve. look pal ... f u and your highhorse.

you're afraid of these things ... frugality, hard work, providing value, risks, investing ... because it highlights your, and every other commies laziness and failures.

and you know what ... the board was much better without you.

Expectations of what? I’m not advocating for myself. I’m analyzing our society at large. How much “chance for advancement” does the average person in Harlan have?

So what about the ones you don’t like? Does Nancy Pelosi deserve her position and wealth?

 

[Lost In FL]

We should all be able to have occasional 50k paid vacations. But y’all would rather concentrate wealth in the hands of the few than distribute it among the many. And so janitor Joe can’t take a vacation. He has to keep working.

so you excuse her?!?! freaking $50K what kind of vacation would that be?!?! and you're totally fine with it knowing she stole it from retards like you and she laughs knowing you're too dumb to not support her.

the left sure knows their base...

Meanwhile, over in England…..

they are the caricature of socialism ... every thing is bland and boring to appease their atheist masters.

 

[Lost In FL]

And nothing is yours either.

is that electronic device yours? no? hmmmm....

No? Hmmmm…

do you have a retirement account? a savings account? a checking account? anything? seriously ... do you?

how dion thinks money "works"

 

[Johnnie Africa]

Expectations of what? I’m not advocating for myself. I’m analyzing our society at large. How much “chance for advancement” does the average person in Harlan have?

Advancement in your profession so you can possibly generate more income. If you’re in your 30s you still have plenty of time to build for a great retirement. Wasting your energy lashing out at random billionaires you don’t know isn’t going to get you anywhere, I think investing in yourself and focusing your energy there will get you where you need to go. Hopefully your company has a 401k but if not you can start saving, even if it’s 100 bucks a month and you’ll be shocked how you can get it to grow at such a young age.

I’d recommend a couple books: the little common sense book of investing and the psychology of money. Very easy reads and can give you a pretty good perspective imo. I’d also recommend listening to Dave Ramsey. I don’t agree with some of his stuff but his basic principles I think are great, especially if like yourself you’re feeling a little hopeless and overwhelmed. If you can get a plan in place and try to follow it I think it’ll give you some confidence and feeling like you’re in control.

I only was able to start saving for retirement 4 years ago but I feel so much happier and more confident now that I have a plan in place. Good luck to you and I’d love to talk to you in 30 years when you’re getting to retire a millionaire!

You are nonsense. investment spending helps many people create new wealth and while subsistence spending helps one person. Definitely not the same "velocity", but not the point you're trying to make. retard. good ole econ dion LMAO

Basic economics.

Yep it is.

[TeamAmerica]

That’s because you’re old. Your working history was during America’s postwar boom when we controlled the entire globe. It’s built on the blood of those around the world we’ve dominated. Have you checked on how Millennials and Gen Z are doing in your capitalist paradise? Hint: not well.

Give me a break. I turned 18 while Cater was President and you had to know somebody to get a job at Wendy's. Inflation was worse, minimum wage was $2.90 and that is usually what you got paid. There wasn't post war boom going on. Just post Vietnam War. I guess my generation wasn't a bunch of man bun, skinny boy jeans, latte drinking, participation trophy, beta males like you and yours crying how unfair life was. We made it happen with what was available.

so ... by saying that, essentially he is admitting there is an emergency that he cannot handle with his police force, which opens up the door to let big daddy trump roll in with the guard.

hallelujah!! Where's the tylenol?!?

 

[TeamAmerica]

Nothing you have is your own. You stand on the backs of the numberless billions who gave you the opportunities you had. You dishonor their work and sacrifices by being so self-aggrandizing.

More ignorance. If I was like you, I'd be crying for reparations for what Dole and the US Government stole from my grandfather's family and blaming all my life's problems on it. Great thing about America is we are born with opportunity. If you choose to spend yours in your mom's basement getting high and playing videos that is all on you.

 

[TeamAmerica]

Yet you took the time to insult. If you had a rebuttal you could have made it. But you don’t. As you prove.

I took the time to explain you arent the great debator you think you are and if I wasnt laid up after back surgery I wouldn't have responded either.

Looks like he read the same book as AOC about MMT.

He lives like Gandhi and gives everything away so everyone can be equall. Nevermind that's the way Socialist want everyone else to live and are willing to give away your money to accomplish it. Never their own.

 

[Anon1751658263]

Google it and read. Though you’ll probably just be making that face the whole time.

I'm sure I can Google a lot of ridiculous things. Oddly enough, money velocity isn't something I ever read about in any macro or microeconomics courses. Rates of exchange? Maybe I'll reread The wealth of nations. I'm sure Adam Smtih snuck it in there somewhere and I just missed it. I have a better idea, you explain the concept and how it fits into your oral fantasies with "billionaires" diatribe.

Btw, I would tell you Merry Christmas, but I suspect that would really agitate you.

 

[Anon1751658263]

Yeah, taking Greenland is truly inspired policy.

Actually, it is. So now you suddenly don't believe in wealth redistribution when it comes to a horde of natural resources sitting there being unused?
Odd how your philosophy is so conveniently arbitrary.

I'm a blue color non-union worker and get plenty of paid vacation time. 4.5 weeks per year paid.
I can't imagine how it feels to wake up everyday full of hate, because someone you don't know makes a lot of money. Greed and envy is not a good look. Look buddy, your 1917 wet dream isn't going to happen again. So you might as well quit crying, moaning, and biyatching, and spend your finite time on this Earth being productive and trying to better yourself instead of constantly being worried about what others may have. Of all the days of the year to be like this. Focus on what you have, not what you think others have. You are far too focused on material things and project what you are onto others.

A waste of breath, but excellent post. Libs will always begrudge those who worked hard for something that they do not have.

 

[Marley2]

Elon musk has done more for society in 30 seconds than you've done in your entire life, commie.

So champion them instead of megacorporations. Would at least be an improvement. But no, you love Musk et al.

Maybe coal mine Dion should invest in tesla and then use his earnings to take a 50k vacation?

Oh, don't have any seed money? Best start skipping the Starbucks, Dion.

Innovation and hard work.

Take Elon for example. Dude slept in his tesla factory for years getting that company up and running.

Some people are so ignorant and yet have such arrogance about that which they truly know nothing. Looking at Dion and Sam.

I should of had to Dion explain to my ex wife at our divorce hearing that I didnt own anything.

Shouldn't you be on a campus somewhere chasing Jewish and Christian students with a dish rag on your head?
