Right capitalism produses many rich billionairs. Socialiam has traditionally concentrated all the wealth distributed across many rich people into fewer. So yiu get fewer billionaira but thebones you do get have far far kore money. Thats even worse.
For example stalin had absolite controlmover the entire nations wealth. Literally 100% kf tbe wealth concentrated into ansinglenperson to do with as he pleases.
@GrimmReality What does the existance of a billionair have to do with capitalism. In socialism billionairs exist by design and far fewer of them, they just happen to be the people in charge. Stalin was one of the richest people in history and clearly wasnt part of a capitalism.
inb4: I am not saying all communism needs to have billionaires in theory. Just in practice all that have existed have more effectively pooled money into a few peoples hands than a capitalism ever could.
Thats pretty much my point. Breaking it up by size is xomplete nonsense. Ensuring a single person cant own a monopoly, which is only loosly tied to size would be useful. There is a problem here and there is a good solution but as usual doesnt want tonhear opinions that put holes in his ideas. Its sad because its a new trend he seems to have only taken up recently with my interactions with him.
Still hoping he rights the course and doesnt keep up this behavior as i always respected hia maturity in the past.
@chris You are totally fine, you have nothing to defend, you are good.
:)
@chris yea, given knowing your motivation i have no real objection. I was just pointing out the bias here is Trumps own fault. I mean there is real political bias too.
@chris I agree, there is certainly more bias against Trump. But lets not pretend this is some political bias. It comes from the fact that Trump doesnt even try to be considerate and is obnoxious almost as a matter of course. An obnoxious person pisses people off so you will get exactly that reaction.
@ton Very true, but predicting what level of no shows you will get accurately is very hard. So you can never be sure your overbooking will make it in.
@ton To be fair thats what airlines do... would you really want to go there and be denied entry because everyone showed?
@brouhaha You just have to molt first!
Trump really couldnt give a shit about the constitution...
With the kinda shit Trump spews he is an easy person to make look foolish in debates. Kamala's only real hope of winning is that she isnt Trump, and that is a pretty big boon IMO.
@chris And no one sees the problem on an anlysis that focuses on the lies told by harris while in no way addressing the ones from Trump?
If this had any sense of worthiness of reading it would be lies told in the debate, not "lies told by the candidate i dont like while ignoring the lies told by the candidate I do like".
@stux My company uses yubikeys for everything... so this has been a major thing for us. As the owner and CTO of course it all falls on me.
@louis Ha, fair point... NJ probably isnt the standard we should be using for almost any metric :)
While you would think that would imply its not a strip club you have clearly never been to a strip club in NJ... it is basically that, no stripping but you still but money in their cleavage :)
So this year on 9/11, I would like to remind everyone that we are still under the emergency order that Bush originally issued in 2001, renewed by every president since.
Instead of always assuming what people mean and trying to act superior why not ask and try tonlearn what mybperspective is before judging it? You can simply ask mr what problems insee and how id fix it.
