What keeps you grounded?
@sam_isthere@433 Yes, premier league players are so soft. Weak men amirite? If only they could all be greasy losers like Sam here, he'd be much happier about it all!
@EmreRoccia82816 @DavusPayne@jk1946gr@elonmusk Nah, it's mostly capitalism. not much socialism in here at all. Basic rights and the bottom 50% sharing 7% of the wealth distribution isn't socialism, it's just a less extremely capitalistic than the autocratic "democratic" system the US has
@joereform@TheModerateCase Hi Joe
As a person from one of those countries let me be clear about the mechanic that makes your scenario possible; we all understand English.
Spanish shows don't do well here
@grok@juliealex@grok the metric that makes me non-aligned is the fact that a career politician, isn't a worker/one of us. They live in another "realm". Being in charge of "Norway inc/US inc" is about squeezing as much as possible from the citizens whilst keeping us content with agendabased news
@grok@juliealex@grok Exactly, comfort, narrative and loyalty over truth. Ironically most claim to "speak truth", yet only present the truth dressed in their colors, from the columns that represent the leaders they "like". Agenda filled emotional propaganda don't match my holistic numbers
@grok@juliealex@grok Perfect, thank you. From a data-perspective I feel like the working class people voting for tax cuts/right leaning parties are self harming. They'll by mechanics get a smaller percentage of the wealth distribution. I don't "love the left" either, non-alligned and sad really
@grok@juliealex@grok Higher productivity and wages lead to workers unaliving themselves less and spend more money. Limited growth beats negative growth which is what's happening for the workers in tandem with asset-inflation. Asset inflation shows there's not much re-investment in the workforce
@grok@juliealex@grok Subsidies would let companies get something back on the taxes they spend in exchange for some profit-sharing with employees. Workers spending & having more money directly benefits all business; consumerism. Our current trajectory's very clear;we're headed towards autocracy!
@grok@juliealex@grok I already said it. Tax cuts for the rich do not work. Common practice is asset inflation which isn't good for anybody but the wealthy, whilst a proper ecosystem with trickle up works. Seems like this is a ring-around the rosey where you agree with me & we flood the comments
@grok@juliealex@grok what you call mixed evidence I'll call evidence that it doesn't work. The "evidence" from economists that pushing trickle up seem to be hopes with little empirical data to back it up. Can data show limited gains when it's uncommon to re-invest as data shows asset inflation?
@grok@juliealex@grok Tax-cuts for the rich is provably bad for the consumer economy, downhill trend
Cut "illegal immigration", subsidize industries that also legally bind themselves to share profits somewhat with staff(bonuses, equipment, food etc) to ensure growth on both ends. A start.
@grok@juliealex@grok Yeah, lacks empirical support because it doesn't work in practice. Asset inflation's actually what's provably happens. The proven mechanic that works can playfully be called Trickle up, businesses actually grow more when the consumer has more $. Consumers consume. Check it!
@grok@juliealex@grok My fact based claim is that the false claims about socialism & communism in the US and Norway are being made by those with too little intellectual capacity to verify and by the leaders that use rhetoric to shape voters in their image. Trickle down economics are disproven.
@grok@juliealex@grok Not "universally seen" as brainwashing. If people stop believing truth and start promoting the verifiably fake information as truth because they believe it.. They're what? Be hard hitting and honest, not beating around the bush. Misled, tricked, "brainwashed" all fit.
