lol … what are you even replying to?
I have no idea. Its not like I go out and survey my friends and neighbors.
What happens to price when the supply of something doubles without an accompanying increase in demand? How many women were in the labor market in 1940 and now in 2018?
How many people had a bachelor’s degree in 1940 and how many people have one now?
How has our economy and the global economy changed, how have industries changed, has the cost of direct materials changed within each industries (the price of steal, for example) across the economy?
How has regulation changed/cost the economy? How much did peripheral benefits cost an employer in 1940 vs. 2018?
How has automation effected wages?
How did the Recession effect wages?
Does it even make sense to compare wages from a manufacturing/export economy to the economy we have now?
This question could be the topic of a series of books…

This isn’t even remotely accurate. First, food insecurity =/= malnutrition. Second, you’re facts are wrong.

We’ve invest (and continue to invest) heavily in our supply chain capabilities. New inventory management methodologies, additional pallet locations (we just built a 200K square foot addition), new software/hardware to add something like 50k SKUs, automation, and are even exploring robotics. None of the increase in productivity corresponds to employees so who should we “give the money back” to?
This is just another example where people want something they didn’t earn.

On top of that, the people of Denmark were held accountable for the wife’s cancer. If it isn’t fair that the husband is held accountable how is it fair that all of society is held accountable?

Co-Ops are a preferable way of doing business as all workers have essentially the same voting power as everyone else. Much more preferable than unions whose gains they may receive are generally under attack by management or our top down way of doing business.
And it is you that is being taken in by the propaganda of the current ruling class. And you let them as you refuse to critically evaluate the situation of modern U.S. business policies. All for their benefit of money and power.
The thing that is really stupid is that YOU buy into the propaganda and don’t even realize it.
So how does the richest nation in the world explain similar levels of food insecurity? So because there are not protests in the streets things, in your opinion, aren’t that bad?
You keep saying that despite never working at a co op, for a co op, with a co op, you don’t shop at co ops (so you financially support exclusively non co ops).
Why do you expect people to take you seriously again?
And what if she wasn’t too old?
Funny it didn’t work that way in his case.
And what does the ACA have to do with this?
You can’t figure it out?
Maybe it has to do with a system that is designed to keep you a debt slave.
Why is that “preferable”?
They don’t have similar levels of food insecurity so there’s nothing to explain.
Do you think I just ditto everything he says? Care to document when Sanders called Venezuela a dictatorship.
Like in the U.S.?
With more people spending money it creates demand, which in turn creates jobs and more security.
We can argue about definitions but I would be on board with a higher degree of social spending but not calling it socialist. As long as the majority of the public is being helped as opposed to the upper class almost exclusively.
So we do or don’t live in a mixed economy?
So you don’t want to engage in a meaningful conversation … color me surprised
No, it does not create more demand… It just changes who is spending the same money and on what. There’s no change in aggregate spending.
