@Yayasview2020@Alissa_1014@Rogerdo200@1zzyzyx1@RepPressley You haven’t provided evidence that the ACA was what caused prices to rise. Based on what you presented I could logically still conclude that the ACA didn’t keep prices from rising but kept the speed of inflation from rising faster than it would be without the ACA
@yonn565@MaineMan_45@philosophymeme0 Socialism does not require the world economic systems to be socialist. It just needs autonomy in foreign relations, and the US has never allowed that
@MaineMan_45@philosophymeme0 The U.S. government levies severe secondary sanctions & financial penalties on 3rd party shipping companies & nations that attempt to supply oil to Cuba. This cripples Cuba’s electrical grid, resulting in catastrophic, prolonged blackouts and fuel shortages that halt daily life.
@MaineMan_45@philosophymeme0 Choking the Economy: Rather than using troops, the U.S. uses the global dominance of the U.S. dollar and the us financial system to isolate Cuba. Foreign banks and corporations are forced to choose between doing business with Cuba or retaining access to the massive U.S. market.
@TommyLe73651889@MaineMan_45@philosophymeme0 They are dependent on trade just like every country. Trade is a basic principle of economics, not just capitalist economics. In socialism trades still exist and are necessary in the exploitative world economic system
@yonn565@MaineMan_45@philosophymeme0 Thus it isn’t a good argument to say “well why haven’t any socialist countries worked out” to support the notion that capitalism is superior. It’s just violent
@MaineMan_45@philosophymeme0 Capitalist countries have embargoed and besieged communist countries like Cuba. That’s why Cuba struggles to access medical supplies and solar panels. The us intentionally works to cripple them
@Mark_Peterson__@america lol also you realize that modern dentistry leverages Nazi torture discoveries? Do you think dentistry is also bad? This is ur logic
