@CENTCOM there is no such thing as self-defense when the single reason why you travelled to the other side of the planet was to attack a sovereign nation and murder thousands of its people.
you are the aggressor and you are a criminal entity serving Israel.
fucking manipulative rats
Israeli minister Ben Gvir just called for kidnapping Lebanese women and children - to "break Hezbollah's morale."
"Let's start thinking outside the box about Hezbollah... Also, conquering territory and killing many terrorists, but also arresting their women and youth and taking them to terrorist prisons. That's what hurts them the most."
As the sociologist Helmut Schoeck showed, socialism is simply envy. Poverty to socialists is thus that someone has what you want. It doesn't matter how well off you are - as long as you are envious, you are poor. And it's someone else's fault for having what you don't have.
@PerBylund@WasOnceLoved Your argument was total bullshit and all your followers are clowns. The government can pay people TO DO THINGS. Like if you've got persistent unemployment and a shortage of housing, the state could launch a building company. No doubt you'd argue there are benefits to homelessness
@clintballinger A neutral rate is when credit is priced such it doesn't cause its supply to change the amount of labour a certain amount of money can buy.
The term "natural" rate doesn't make much sense – certainly not as a synonym for neutral.
A reset each generation would help.
There's justification for people who provide capital to get paid, as it's an opportunity cost against consumption, and compensation for costs is the whole reason anyone gets paid. But those real costs disappear if you're ultra-rich.

@MikeGranby@JustinWolfers No it doesn't. Supplier competition forces down prices in certain fields regardless of how much consumers value the service. Better workplace mobility could address some of that disparity but still wouldn't align consumer estimations of value with worker competition to supply it.
If Iran laid down its weapons tomorrow, there would be peace.
If Israel laid down its weapons tomorrow, there would be no Israel.
That's the difference.
This is so wrong. The whole use/exchange value dichotomy is wrong. There is only use value. People offer some of their own labour utility to compensate others for theirs in a division of labour. But it's the buyer who sets that rate, making an offer to which producers respond.
What exclusively determines the magnitude of the value of any article is therefore the amount of labour socially necessary, or the labour-time socially necessary for its production.
