Modern Monetary Theory: A Primer

All one has to do is look at the evidence of the success of worker co-ops, their structure and their ability to survive as a business. MMT has plenty of proof. It is being used all the time. Just not for the advancement of the population as a whole.

Most people on here follow economists that have been crying for decades about the debt. And they have been proven wrong every time. And this will continue to be a non-factor like it has been The budget of the Federal government does not work like a households. But try getting that through to the Pete Peterson Foundation and they will still cry about the debt no matter how often they are proven wrong. And you want people to believe in this? You and your ilk are far closer to a cult leader.

Well what kind of AUM do the charities have?

Massive amounts that they have managed by people like me. Lol, how the fuck do you think charities, endowments, and pensions allocate funds? I can’t believe you’re an adult, let alone one with a job a teenager can do.

Anytime one of my employees can better themselves and make more money or have a better life - I commend them and wish them the best.

What is not ethical in this system?

People buying them was done… Stop putting the blame on the response to demand and put it on the consumer. Again, nobody is forcing them to purchase said products, yet they still are.

What is your education level again? What are your credentials besides bartending? A literal monkey can do that job.

And couldn’t even light a small candle in my world.

I can guarantee I donate 10X more than his yearly earnings every year - easily. He doesn’t make enough money to donate anything.

Which is hilarious considering his stances on capitalism and evil rubes.

I am objectively helping society more and people more in one year with my capitalist views than he ever will his entire life.

I am just surprised he is as old as he is.
At some point reality should set in and it just hasn’t.
I expect 19 year old college freshman to be this gung ho on crap causes but not at 2.5X that age.

I am out on this one. Only so much nonsense can fit in my brain. Time to lift some thing. In honor of our friend here I will be using the only great thing to come out of Russia: the kettlebell.

On the other side of that coin. Castoli has missed his opportunity to make anything of himself. His is now too old, and his work experience too minimal, to have any impact. All that is left is for him is to flap his jaws (or peck on the keyboard.)

Linking a YouTube video doesn’t mean you understand it either, but you do you. It’s not like that will ever change.

I don’t have a traditional job any longer and haven’t for some time.

Uhmmm…destroying the lives of families by moving jobs overseas so those at the top can make even more money and on and on. The greed never ends.

Keep ignoring that advertising, marketing and food science do not apply.

And does that even matter? Marxist economic professor Richard Wolff was not assigned 1 reading of Marx in these supposed liberal colleges. He had to learn this stuff on his own. Because of this would he not be considered educated on the subject of Marxian economics?

And this was a long time ago.

Maybe not as many as traditional work places but there presence is growing.

Here you can find one close to you and frequent that place of business.

Start your own business. You don’t have any right to tell someone how to run their business.

These do not apply in a person’s personal choices. With the easy access to information, there is no excuse other than your own failures.

Nice in dodging the question and diverting. What was Richard Wolff’s educational background? Even if we look at your non-educational background - it is SORELY lacking.

I only frequent businesses based on their service or product. I am not going to frequent a business based on how it runs its financial books. Why don’t you go frequent them with all your money?

Because I’ve questioned the structure of things and challenged my own beliefs. Having come to the uncomfortable position that I was understanding the world upside down. All the while you continue to chug the Kool-Aid.

Yes continue on the path of believing in the propaganda.

Your celebration of greed.

Again, just denying this has anything to do with “choice”.

Yale, Stamford and Harvard.

I do when I can. However, I reside in the sticks of Texas.

But I can call them out n their greed.

Oh, so you reside in a free state of texas that is very prosperous and pro american…and you bitch and moan about capitalism, what an effing loser

I think you meant good business decisions.

So, these people are not actively purchasing the food, putting it in their mouth, and swallowing it? Man these corporations sure are good. If they had half the power you think they do over people, they would be set.

I don’t know a Stamford school, but yes he had a nice educational pedigree. Thank you for proving my point.

How so?
