False equivalency sister

We’re the only species that has designed an economic system based on a social construct and implemented by FORCE and VIOLENCE by the police whose basic purpose is to enforce property laws that give every unfair advantage imaginable to people who are already rich.

I'm just saying every living creature works to eat.

The dynamics differ from species to species.

What makes you feel so strongly that anyone has an advantage as opposed to all the players just being in their own varying positions in life based on how they've chosen to live?

Am I right in assuming that you feel a certain baseline level of living standards should be available for all citizens?

Something that includes at least:

- Proper housing
- Proper food
- Proper healthcare

And that as long as these conditions are not met. There shouldnt be any accumulation of wealth in particular individuals

someone has to produce something. what if everyone else was all like you and decided we wanted to wait around for someone else to produce things? nobody would ever produce anything.

the earth gives a few berries for free. and even those you will have to compete with other animals for. the vast majority of produce on earth is cultivated. someone wotked the land to produce the food.

they produced it with their own labour. and they own the fruits of that labour. and if you want what they produced, you will have to convince them to give it to you. and if they dont want to you arr out of luck. thats according to natural law. not the government. we all own our own labour.

So I should have the fruits of my work taken because I produced more than someone else?

this has nothing to do with the government. you are the one who is in favour of a government that redistributes wealth and "reeducates" rich people.


Lets say someone right now invested cell phones for the first time. would you feel entitled to having a cell phone made and given to you and everyone else for free? even though it was his idea, work and resources that acctually created the phone?

just declaring things free soesnt make them appear. Its the ability to engage in mutually beneficial transactions with our own property that has made our lives so much better in the last couple hundres years. thats what drives innovation and the creation of goods and services and increases our quality of life drastically.

South Africa's constitution declares housing a human right. there are hundreds of thousands of homeless people in south africa. simply declaring things rights doesnt make them appear. people engaging in mutually beneficial, voluntary transactions is what has historically made things appear.

no person is forcing you to work. Nature is. God is. its not like someone is setting you up by making you mortal. its the way things are. you cant blame jeff bezos for pointing a gun at you and saying if you dont work ill shoot you. its just the way things are and always have been. jeff bezos isnt forcing you to work. and neither is anone else. you are sinply bound by the same nessecity as everyone else.

it sounds like your problem is not only with successful people. its with the structure of reality and you take it out on people who are more successful than you.

You're a classic Cain

You guys can blame jeff bezos. Im going to take responsibility for my situation.

if we all took an equal cut of besos' networth we would all get under 20$. whereas with that money concentrated it can be invested and used to create new goods, services and jobs which improve out quality of life as a species.

besides nobody is entitled to anyone elses money just because they want it.







You want to become rich, but if not it's nobody's fault but your own. This is what you should do instead. Play the lottery. It gives you a better chance. But not as good of a chance as being struck by lightning several different time.



lol the lottery gives a better chance than working hard and being responsible? you are being ridiculous.

A disproportionate amount of poor lottery winners become poor again.

according to the brookings institute only 2% of people in the united states who do three basic things remain perminently poor. those things are graduate highschool, get a full time job and wait until you are atleast 20 and married to have children. 98% of people who do those basic things will not be poor.

The fact is personal choice plays a large role in our economic standing.

People dont just become successful based on luck. Sure there may be some aspect of chance. but luck alone wont make you rich and keep you that way. you need personal responsibility.




You are being ridiculous if you think working hard is going to make you rich. It's just a huge fantasy fostered by conservative mindsets. And bringing up avoiding poverty is just changing the subject. Working hard and making good decisions generally leads to doing OK. But you won't get rich. If you were going to be one of the one percent you wouldn't have 6600 posts on the shroomery. There are 2 or 3 people here that defy that generalization but they are truly exceptions. Most of the people in the top one percent were born there.

Once people's idea of forming a business fails, usually several times, the next step is finding someone to sue. Personally I would just set realistic goals.

Lol.

first of all you're being super childish for saying nothing you do matters.

second, is eliminating poverty not a good thing? because free markets have drastically reduced poverty more than anything in history. Can you wake up from your greed and envy for a sec to see the positive or are you just goona navel gaze about how you could stand to have a few more dollars to spend on fun stuff?

third most money is earned not inherited.

and infacr most wealthy people are self made by a fairly large margin.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/09/26/majority-of-the-worlds-richest-people-are-self-made-says-new-report.html

so what were tou saying about conservative mindsets? its fact. mindset has nothing to do with it. Although i geuss your mindset causes you to ignore facts and make baseless claims that arent true about how there is no point and we should all give up and be a bunch of hateful, spiteful, debbie downers.

you cant just become the richest person and do nothing and stay that way. there is real progress happening in this world ecery single day. amazing things are happening, things that wouof have been considered miracles less than 100 years ago. and if you stop moving foreward, it doesnt matter how rich you are someone will get richer. the world is moving fast. things arent nearly as static as you are claiming. especially not in this century.

I'm not sure one could claim that "free markets" is responsible for standards of livings improving. Human progress is due to innovation, that innovation is going to happen regardless the economic system at work.

I also don't know of any "free market" economy, every market is regulated. It's just to what extent.

You've argued with me on this point atleast twice and both times I showed you the evidence, the graphs and the charts which display the extreme spike in gdp per capita in england and wales at a specific time, under loose economic policies, and the massive, steep decline in global poverty which followed. Ive shown that for example most new drug discoveries come from the private sector not the public sector.

ive compared the economic prosperity of countries with more and less economic freedom, and not only the soviet union. Ive talked about the nordic countries that everyone loves to talk about. multiple times.

and you always just eventually stop replying then pages later come back and start a different conversation (often about how im somehow a hypocrite because some bussiness people use the government for their benefit and arent in favour of free markets) which you also eventually walk away from. I know that if I dig everything up for atleast the third time you are going to eventually stop replying and bring up the same point again, in a different discussion when we could have resolved it several discussions ago had you not backed down.

If you arent going to engage with my evidence im not going to bother digging it up and compiling it for you anymore.

go back our previous discussions and you will see how many of my posts addressed to you remain unanswered. atleast you know when to back down instead of giving fake, empty "answers" like ra. but if you are going to give up you cant just keep trying again next time.

The problem is that you're making massive generalizations with terms like "free markets, loose economic policies, economic freedom" in a given time period and then not taking into account hundreds if not thousands of other variables into the equation. In other words, correlation is not causation.

I'm sure you can cherry pick some time periods and then put of convenient label on it, and then declare some sort of ideological victory, but that isn't being intellectually honest.

No matter what economic system is in usage, it never operates in a complete vacuum. The system is also constantly evolving as well. The US economic system today doesn't even resemble anything from 50 years ago, yet it still has the same label.

BTW, I really don't recall having a similar discussion in the past. I wouldn't doubt that we did, but I just don't remember it. :shrug:

BTW, I really don't recall having a similar discussion in the past. I wouldn't doubt that we did, but I just don't remember it. :shrug:


we have discussed economics multiple times. not even that long ago.

Like I said I didnt just compare the two groups of free markets and unfree markets, and I dont simply compare one country's economy to another country's economy. for example if you look at sweden, you can see the effects of big government when you notice that went from the 4th richest industrialized country in 1975 to 14th less than 20 years later. And you can look further to see the efforts that the nordic countries like Sweden have made to move in the opposite direction by ending the government monopoly that existed in certain industries like for example the energy sector.

So instead of assuming that I'm going to consider the USA economy from 50 years ago to be the same as the one today (idk where you got that from. I cant recall doing that) maybe you should read the evidence that people present to you and address it. because I actually look at specific policies and not just the two categories of free and unfree.

Just because all countries regulate their economy to some degree doesnt mean I cant use any country as an example of why less government interference is a good thing.

there you go again, "no economy is totally free therefore you are a hypocrite who doesnt really want a free market" that argument is super lame.
