@davidrkadler Wealth is created, not distributed. People unable to grasp this are genuinely retarded.

Some landlords own dozens - or even hundreds - of properties, making huge profits while millions of young people can't afford to buy.
Should there be a legal cap on how many homes any one person can own?

DeSantis approved the Brightline extension from Orlando to Miami in 2019. It cost $5 billion, no taxpayer funding & was completed in 4 years. Every conservative is cool with. Cali has spent $16 billion of an estimated $135 bil in taxes, for 0 miles of rail. Spot the difference

Why do Conservatives hate this so much? Anyone?

@maria48308 It's funny all the people bitching and not understanding how printing trillions out of thin air is the source.

@TraitorCrater So you were proved wrong and now you want to try something new? I'll let you stew in your own idiocy you discount sigma in full crash-out.
English
@CosmicV Think past the tip of your fucking nose, retard. How long does it take for people to get here on those visas? How expensive is it? Now expand it to 5 million people per year. Still seem feasible to you?
English
I'm a centrist, so I don't know the answer to this. Do Democrats actually want "birthright citizenship" as the actual policy? Or do they simply oppose Trump acting like a dictator toward his racist goals?
English
@TraitorCrater The US already use professions in the immigration calculus and the constitution has absolutely allows it you slobbering simpleton.
English
@CosmicV @robertgraham 1. Other countries don't have millions of immigrants a year.
2. Other countries don't have the Constitution.
3. That's why you're an idiot.
English
@TraitorCrater @robertgraham And yet other countries do it, so that just makes you an idiot
English
@TraitorCrater @robertgraham Plenty of countries have profession requirements. Background check to reasonable extent.

@CosmicV @robertgraham How exactly do you plan on judging "net value" or their "allegiance?"
English
@robertgraham How about limiting it to immigrants that actually produce net value and doesn't have an allegiance to our enemies for a start?
English
I mean, I sorta prefer that policy, but only a little bit.
I'm not sure what principles people would have where they really wanted it a lot.

@robertgraham @AlpineCipher Let me guess, give them billions of dollars and they still refined nuclear material anyways?
English
@AlpineCipher should?
Obama had a great plan to prevent that. Trump tore up that agreement.

Why doesn't Europe help their ally America in this war?
They are helping America -- just not helping Trump. They are on the side of the majority of citizens who oppose this offensive war.
If this war at Congressional approval and support for most Americans, we'd be having a different conversation.

CNN: We have new CNN polling showing how the country feels about this war. Just a third of Americans approve of how the president is handling his role of commander in chief, as well as the war. Two thirds disapprove of the decision to take military action in Iran, and strong opposition has grown 12 points since the start of the war. 63% of Americans say that they believe it's likely that the war will turn into a long term military conflict. Nearly 7 in 10 oppose sending U.S. Ground troops into Iran. 71% say they don't want congress to authorize $200 billion for further military action in Iran.

@NsfwRoh @Seattleite12 I didn't say they were good or bad, only that the exist because of the state. A business arguably can exist without permission, not a corporation.

@CosmicV @Seattleite12 Limited liability is a good thing. Buying a random index fund being liable for poisoning someone is dumb.

Libertarianism is Ultraliberalism. It is all of Liberalism's principles of individualism, free speech, and equality taken to their logical extremes. This is a good thing and should be embraced.
Also corporations cannot organically exist without subsidies and state regulationism.

@Grossmanite @Seattleite12 So farmer A sells his apple to farmer B for the price of one of his oranges?
English
@CosmicV @Seattleite12 A commodity being bought and sold. What's your point?
English
@Grossmanite @Seattleite12 Describe the simplest capitalist transaction possible.
English
@CosmicV @Seattleite12 The question was which part was emotional or ideological? Commodities devalue as they are made quicker, resulting in falling profit margins, making capitalism/commodity production unsustainable and communism econically necessary. It's maths, not ideology or emotion.
English
@Grossmanite @Seattleite12 A question I always ask that blows up in most people's faces. Give me an example of your simplest most atomic capitalist transaction possible.
English
@CosmicV @Seattleite12 The state is a creature of capital. It arises out of competitive commodity production to mediate competition between private producers; stabilise an inherently unstable system (competition = losers = destruction); and police the working class. No emotion/ ideology, just reality
English
@Grossmanite @Seattleite12 Just gonna ignore the fact I stated and go off some some emotional ideological rant eh?

English
@CosmicV @Seattleite12 Corporations are creatures of capitalism. Competition = losers = monopolisers. Expanded, innovated commodity production = devaluation = less profit per commodity, compelling mergers and acquisitions to stay viable

@thekhemistlives @uoislame @jakebrodes You can always gauge a sub-70 IQ by the inability to understand per-capita.

American and Texan here: Americans mostly use guns to kill their whole families or random people in road rage related incidents. Lots of times we use them to kill children too. Our 2nd amendment is 50% a cyanide pill we chew on all day and 50% a vanity project for suburban morons

@doconnoronca @Aaryouz @EdbieLigerSmith You do understand a Corp doing a single job, distribution - is order of magnitudes below the trillions of subjective economic decisions made every day on this planet right? Walmart couldn't produce a pencil on their own.

@CosmicV @Aaryouz @EdbieLigerSmith I am aware of it. It is explored in the book discussing how similar large corporations are to a centrally planned economy, The People's Republic of Walmart: How the World's Biggest Corporations are Laying the Foundation for Socialism.

Studying economics in college was what made me a Communist. Couldn’t believe how dumb my right wing professors were compared to the Marxist ones.
These idiots still believe we have a market economy when everything is centrally planned by the Fed, monopolies, & big banks.
Actually astounding how little they know about how the modern economy actually works.

I hate Communism because I understand economics.

@doconnoronca @Aaryouz @EdbieLigerSmith You guys are completely oblivious to the calculation problem.
English
@Aaryouz @EdbieLigerSmith The central planning is done for the benefit of wealthy owners rather then the people is the problem.
