U.S. Hegemony on the Decline

If it was under the economic system of capitalism, you probably were.

I will put my intelligence level against yours in any useful test.

You’ve swallowed more useless things than a porn star.

Just like they been saying for decades now. But YOU still blindly follow them. Wasn’t it YOU who claimed that Rogoff was one of your guiding lights in economics? The guy who claimed that 90% debt to GDP ratio was the tipping point. Well now, the U.S. is about 125% and Japan’s about twice as much. Keep swallowing the ignorance and base your arguments off that ignorance.

As f this has anything to do with the subject currently being discussed. Oh right, it always goes back to the cult of the self and believing that a business budget functions like federal economics.

As if this was the reason. Good Lord, they got you completely programmed. The gold standard was abandoned in 1971. Productivity decoupled with production around 1975. Why was the Bretton Woods argument scrapped?

What has developed?

Currently, I trade currencies. Which tends to bring out a lot of envy here.
I have bartended before, done road construction and other things.

How so?

Nice try but people get to choose who inherits their wealth and property.

Wrong again. I do believe in it but people like you are the system.

While the innocent suffer. I’m sure the rape victim is ok with her rapist remaining free while society figures out what caused him to become a rapist.

No one is being denied this. You think black people are not allowed to have wills?

Ask the reparations committees.

Those people are dead.

Kill their African neighbors who enslaved them in the first place.

Everything you currently rage against (except your day job which wouldn’t exist on the gold standard or at least not be super viable) - larger income inequality gaps, soaring profit numbers, multiple housing crashes since the 1970s thanks to speculative investing (not as easy when real assets back money).

Rome wasn’t built in a day - it didn’t collapse in one either.

Keep fucking dreaming…

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

They only thing that would make this funnier would be if you worked for a hedge fund.

I don’t recall claiming this.

It is intrinsically tied, but you wouldn’t know anything about actual life considering you have held peasant jobs your entire life.

I can’t believe people are dumb enough to find this shocking. REALLY?

HAHAHAHAHAHA, envy? I am not sure that word means what you think it means.

Those jobs sure do lend credence to your thoughts on economic policy let me tell you.

Take a hint. Big businessmen like Trump DO NOT give a SHIT about you. Biden as well. They’re just pawns made to give you the ILLUSION that you have a choice. The reality is that you do NOT have a choice. Voting is pointless. I’m so happy I stopped years ago.

That would be a damn miracle

I have agreed with this for 10+ years.

I just try to treat my employees well and get mine and live a good life with family.

It’s funny as hell to see idiots on both sides vouching for the people who don’t care about them. The intelligent person stays silent, retreats, and doesn’t vote.
