@jimbolauski Did you think I was? 🤭
@wintermute_oregon Now that’s a completely different statement altogether.
@wintermute_oregon I was homeschooled, and read programming books instead. 🤷🏾♂️
If most people haven’t read something, criticizing them for not reading that thing is snobbish. I don’t care if it’s a document that defines the laws of our country.
@wintermute_oregon @jimbolauski Most conservatives haven’t read it either, myself included. Don’t be snobbish.
@zeppo @wintermute_oregon Nobody starves under #Capitalism, real #Capitalism hasn’t been tried
@agamemnonymous I understand my point, but I doubt you will if we don’t walk through it bit by bit.
If you don’t have the time for this conversation that’s fine. Go do what you need to do man! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
@agamemnonymous Hey! That’s not the name of a business!
@agamemnonymous We’re getting there! This is something we will need to go through step by step, I’m suspecting.
What are some of the businesses that offer these products and services?
@agamemnonymous Yes I do, I’m just trying to get you to think about something.
So, food, clothing, utilities, housing. Who makes money from these products and services?
@breadsmasher @wintermute_oregon #Reuters themselves did say that the #DNC is expected to be “vibe-heavy, policy-light”, which could signal that #KamalaHarris’ policies, at least internally, are viewed more as a liability than an asset.
@agamemnonymous I’m a bit curious on this point actually. Let’s say that a pack of chicken nuggets from #TysonsFoods costs $18 when it should cost $15. Where do you think a parent of children is likely to spend those extra $3?
@agamemnonymous Which is what all squirrels would do if they could 🤷🏾♂️
@nicholas @agamemnonymous The real reason we’re seeing record profits is that big businesses are preparing cash stockpiles ahead of the inevitable economic collapse that financial experts and insiders are all expecting, but nobody wants to talk about that.
My common response to the “corporate greed” accusation is asking if squirrels are greedy for hoarding acorns for the winter.
@zeppo I’d have to look more into what the impacts of such a policy would be but I certainly support cancelling those subsidies on principle.
@zeppo I completely agree with you here. We are not in a pure, Capitalist society. Right now, we are in what is known as a mixed market economy.
However, I would posit that we are closer to the free market model than a planned economy, and the farther away we move from the free market model, the closer we get to a planned economy. It doesn’t mean that we’re there already, but, in general, moving away from the free market model sets off red flags for those worried ending up in a planned economy.
@zeppo Would you agree that, generally, #Communism usually controls prices, and #Capitalism usually does not?
@UniversalMonk I think #Trump is gonna win, but the chance of that happening is closer to 60%, not 100%.
