The Deficit Myth: The Biggest Lie in Politics

It was irrelevant to the point I was making that clearly went over your head. Did Reddit really take 2 months to help you form a response to that post, pathetic.

Wrong. Fuck, you are dumb.

You clearly don’t understand what you’re reading anyway as you’re always confused by simple words.

Yes, I do think shutting things down for the flu had something to do with it.

Price gouging is not a thing.

That was a huge part.

Because it didn’t fuck itself as badly as they did. I can remember hearing how the U.S. wasn’t doing shutdowns right, because people weren’t locked in their homes.

Because they injected money into the economy.

Ahhhh no. The U.S. didn’t practice austerity economics the way those Eurozone countries did. The U.S. actually injected money into the economy.

Man, the ignorance about economics is so wide spread.

I agree shutting down business was not necessary, however price gouging IS a thing.

And you are clearly one of the most indoctrinated cromagnons on this forum.

Ahhhh no you are wrong. Fuck you are certainly brain dead.

Hurts to find out what you really are. Now go do some soul searching.

Oh I must be lying. God why would you even post something this stupid.

And what would happen if the cost of cars are driven up?

Ahhh no, companies outsource when they are able. The people at the top, whose main objective is to accumulate profits no matter what, did not decide to pay wages higher than they could in different countries, out of the goodness of their hearts, but because of feasibility issues.

How does the money spent by unions to lobby compare to corporations?

And what does rank encompass? If you may be referring to wages, why did the UAW get rid of tiered pay in their latest contract?

Was the contract won by the unions and Shawn Fain a showing of him worried about the B of D or the rank and file union worker? Did he represent the wishes of the B of D or workers?

The point is that “money printer go brrrr” wasn’t the cause of inflation. Lack of production was the catalyst.

Our shitbox economy is run on capitalism but that doesn’t mean barter does not go on at all between people.

Unlike capitalism.

Wow, another propagandized outlook on the government, who happens to be controlled by the very capitalistic industries you laud. Seriously do some personal deprogramming.

And how many environmental pollutings are still going on?

No just the big ones, not the mom and pop type businessses

Try reading Winner Takes All.

One doesn’t need to come up with stats, you can clearly see the effects. The amount of poverty it creates, the wars it cultivates etc. All one needs to do is a bit of reading.

Think.

You are literally championing a non-capitalist idea, which to take hold the government would have to change.

You do realize this is the reality in those countries you laud right? Care is rationed by age, amount of money left for certain procedures for the fiscal year, etc.

Again, I have actual first-hand experience on a legal level with hospitals in these systems you love so much, yet know NOTHING about other than surface articles you have read on google.

You realize the majority of businesses exist in the small to medium size right that don’t lobby? Even many larger ones do not lobby.

No - lack of production caused a rise in price. That by itself is not necessarily an inflationary process. Devaluing currency to the point where it is absolutely worthless by “money printer go brrr” is always inflationary in a fiat system.
Maybe a different analogy will make sense to you - Issuing currency to combat a price increase or production drop is like a healing a cut by cutting yourself in many other places. It makes no fucking sense.

Don’t care - they both lobby and bribe get what they want.

Ford Motor Company - Profit Margins | Helgi Library

If you draw an average line through this chart it’s basically a straight line. Maintaining an even profit margin by outsourcing because they had to is not “accumulate profits no matter what”. Net profit margin has remained relatively flat. But you don’t understand math or percentages or the fact a business needs to maintain some sort of profit margin to exist.

Don’t know, don’t care - I bet those who are senior in the union still make more even if they can’t do their job well.

That fails to answer the question.

Look at the levels in the US - much, much less than before due to regulation.
Also - moving the goal posts yet again.

The study you posted is quite a bit flawed in their approach/analysis and doesn’t seem to draw the conclusions they claim.

by your assertion shouldn’t the above graph (at the link you cited) be increasing If “end stage capitalism” promotes growth in poverty?

Also - have you looked at the list of companies the make up the “World Economic Forum” you cited? It’s a list of companies you claim to hate…

you’re just a rube in the system dude!

Which resulted in what happening to the rate of inflation? I’ll give you a hint. It’s the opposite of down.

You’ve never even taken HS economics, have never worked a job in a related field, and don’t even read books on the subject. Your delusion is truly breathtaking.

And illegal…

My man, you support terrorism…

Less than the early 1900s.

The MASSIVE ones. Read: A percentage of the fortune 1,000. Most companies with billions in gross sales aren’t lobbying.

I understand this is your modus operandi, but in reality you have to actually look at variables to form conclusions that are worth something.

Zero serious people consider colonial India an example of capitalism. They were ruled by the British Crown you goofball.

More importantly, this is a PERFECT example of what I was talking about.

This is three different variables, of which there are probably a dozen more, requiring a multivariate analysis to determine the impact of each.

Understand a single thing, man…

For fuck sakes, they had to redefine poverty for this new study:

Your problem has always been that you just google the answer you’re looking for and don’t even read what you post nor do you even think about it for half a second. Did you even click the actual study? You don’t have to answer that because we all know you didn’t.

I’m also hugely shocked that this author has arrived at conclusions no one else has.

It’s okay, though. Let’s use your bar for evidence. “you can clearly see the effects”. Yes, you can. 100 years ago people died of starvation in the United States and now half the population is morbidly obese therefore, by the bar set by Castoli the self proclaimed arbiter of truth, we can clearly see that people have greater access to food under capitalism than any other economic system ever created.

What a fucking waste of my time.

I don’t know how to translation this into a real sentence that makes sense.
