@thosewhojohn I do not value this conversation enough to try to explain to you what the word "comparable" means, let alone inelasticity of demand and manufactured scarcity. Take care, brother.
English
@anth_chels Like what? Houses are bigger and less people live in them. Medicine is far more advanced and complex. Cars include so much more safety and sensors and infotainment tech. Food is safer than ever. Where has the complexity of production declined?
English
@thosewhojohn The prices for goods/services of comparable quality have mostly soared, despite the complexity of production declining. I don't know how else to explain that to you. I understand the argument you're trying to make, but it's empirically false.
English
@anth_chels Yeah and necessities are more expensive due to them being higher quality and fancier than ever
English
@thosewhojohn Well, yes. Most today are much better off than a Roman emperor. Energy consumption is a great stand in for wealth historically. Doesn't really change either of my points though. People, objectively, are more poor because of increased necessity spending than buying a $200 TV.
English
@anth_chels @elasticsonar @nominalthoughts I'm just saying that incomes have grown but spending to afford the highest standard of living in all of human history is expensive. It's disingenuous to compare today's incomes to old ones and say that people are broke nowadays
English
@thosewhojohn @elasticsonar @nominalthoughts 1) You're wrong. Pointing towards consumer goods getting cheaper and more plentiful is disingenuous when necessities have spiraled out of control
2) Why would you even want this? Why would you want people to live like they were in the 1960s? It's anti-flourishment and dumb
English
@elasticsonar @nominalthoughts No, people just have access to more goods and services that weren't previously available, so now they spend more money. If today's middle class lived by 1960s standards (less medical treatments available, fewer appliances, etc), they'd be better off than the people of that time.
English
@nominalthoughts Global poverty got a little better, but every developed country is losing their middle class, wages are stagnating, inflation is rising, homelessness is increasing, ownership is meaningless now, and monopolies continue to blitz scale and power scale. Every trend can reverse.

@themac791 @Duckslate @Domi_ka19 @buckadeath You think the US doesn't have warplans and objectives drawn up for a joint war against a longtime enemy?
English
@Duckslate @Domi_ka19 @buckadeath We shouldn't have gone to war with them in the first place. It was needless and outright stupid for us to do that. It's more complicated than us just leaving but that's because we decided to go headfirst into instigating a conflict without a real plan.

Don’t worry guys.
Hasan Piker will explain to American men why their country “deserved 9/11.”
That should patch things up.

@Jesse_Leg I hope men keep voting Republican. Never ending wars will eventually require a draft. It's a problem that solves itself. Enjoy Iran.

It’s even crazier in US movies that invaders are portrayed as "I’m sad that I have no choice but to kill your whole family in your country."

"lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel"
His wife was killed in an ISIS bombing in Syria.
The guy running counterterrorism thought the real villains in the battle with ISIS were the Jews.
BNO News@BNONews
BREAKING: Joe Kent resigns as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, says he can’t support the war against Iran. “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

This was a shooting at SMALL CHILDREN.
Jewish children.
Look at the photo.
Playground for the preschool & daycare is in yellow circle.
Plumes of smoke are in the red.
I've been there. For a talk on the dangers of anti-Semitism.
But Jews are paranoid, says Tucker.
Fuck him
Joel Mowbray@joelmowbray
The Detroit-area shooting this morning wasn't just at a "synagogue." It was also at a daycare, a preschool, and a kindergarten. So 5-year-olds, toddlers, infants. That was THEIR playground at the spot of the shooting. Yet Tucker Carlson will continue inciting his followers, intentionally lying that Israel — because of Chabad — is planning to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque to rebuild the Third Temple. Candace Owens will still prattle on about Jews being "filthy" or the "Synagogue of Satan," or that "Israel" will unleash an army of "Satanic p*dophiles." And Megyn Kelly, well, she'll wag her finger and get indignant... at what "people are doing to Candace" and Tucker. For good measure, she'll probably find a way to blame Israel. Not speculation, mind you, because she has blamed Israel for the surge in anti-Semitism after October 7, 2023. This is a scourge. And these ghouls will get more innocent people killed. Worst part is that they know it. They just don't care. As long as they get their clicks and keep they're clout, it will be full steam ahead. Please pray for the safety of Jews across America — and all around the world. We need it. My small children need it. Thank you.
