Well if it isn’t free and profit is involved - somebody somewhere is getting screwed right?
This is only part of why fuel prices have increased. Are oil companies using inflation as an excuse around the entire world?
Where is socialism not state run?..
This always turns out well.
Why is this strange?
If the work and demand is currently there, I would hire too. You obviously have never run a business.
Funny, I am the one most in the real world between us, but okay.
Yes, it is being shut down. Yes, they are hiring now to take advantage of Biden’s gas hike. Those aren’t mutually exclusive. What they aren’t doing is building the billion dollar refineries that could actually lower gas prices.
You responded to me, but your response had nothing to do with my question:
Which, I asked, in response to:
Yeah, like when that communist country Great Britain nationalized their healthcare and coming in first in the top 11 industrialized countries in a study by the Commonwealth Fund. Guess who came in last?
Glad you’ve admitted it is happening. More great stuff from wholesome oil and gas companies. Fuck people over any way you can for more profits.
Does it have to be?
Yeah, whatever can make them more money, no matter what the consequence.
Using Great Britain is a metric tells me all I need to know.
They are a business not a fucking charity.
Has it ever been run by not the state? Answer the fucking question.
Is capitalism the best we can do? A total immoral system that has no problem screwing the public over for more profits. Sounds great! Democratize the enterprise!
Yes, because they are so different than us. Got it!
So fucking people over is part of business?
Maybe it hasn’t but I would have to do more research. You answer the fucking question. Does it have to be? Capitalism eventually forms monopolies and oligopolies. More concentration of wealth and power. It is built into the system. An eventual expression or result of that system. Built on greed. A baser instinct of humans.
And this makes the difference because…
Have you ever been to Great Britain?
Your definition of fucking over people is laughable and nobody else holds it except losers and have nots.
Yes, because socialism and communism take force to redistribute wealth. Without the threat of force people don’t willingly give away what they have worked for to take care of the lazy and worthless.
My question was rhetorical because it NEVER has been and NEVER will. You live in a fantasy version of the world that will never happen.
And that will never change - socialism and communism lead to far worse places than capitalism.
Why aren’t people clamoring to get into these countries that you admire like they are the US? Just take a look at the pending immigration and immigration stats - from a lot of places destroyed by socialism and communism.
You don’t understand the real world as you don’t play in it. You don’t own a business. You “trade currencies” aka you don’t have a real fucking job. You probably live with your parents too, yet you think you know how to run a business.
I can tell you 100% I had no clue until I actually ran one, nobody does.
@castoli I will personally pay for your one-way ticket to Venezuela if you promise to keep posting updates here of your experience in the socialist paradise.
And you really have NO idea what happened there.
ThAt isn’T ReAl SoCIaLISm.
It is state run. They should let @castoli run it for the people. I bet it would work great. He could even employ MMT.
This has nothing to do with your misunderstanding of how economics really works. You live in a theoretical world and thinks that is how economics works.
Says you, but somehow my VERY successful circle agrees with me.
I will take their input over someone who struggles to acquire wealth every single day.
We do get a good laugh at you though.
MMT is already used in this country and has been for quite some time. H/ow do you think all those trillions of dollars are spent in all those mid-east wars? Or the trillions spent bailing out the banks. And no it wasn’t paid for by the raising of taxes and the selling of bonds as that moron Bauber wants you to believe w/o a shred of evidence. No substantive articles, nothing! Only his statements that is all. GTFOH.
And you know this because…
If they did they would be much better off.
