@Pyro_pinky@TweetRex604@WallStreetSilv Congratulations, you've just social-engineered shortages of essential services with your "good intentions" that pave the road to hell.
You don't need a profit limit, you need market competitiveness. In the ideal limit, that forces economic (but not accounting) profits to zero.
@TweetRex604@WallStreetSilv Do you think economy-wide lockdowns and wars (both of which reduce productive capacity) might have something to do with shifting the intersection between the supply and demand curves towards a higher-priced equilibrium?
@TweetRex604@WallStreetSilv "Record profits" are a consequence of high market prices. They are not their cause. Every profit-motivated entity wants to make record profits, but are not usually able to because other profit-motivated entities would undercut them. What's changed?
@witness2abattle @WallStreetSilv Who supports small government that now runs to government for help when which economic issue or natural disaster affects them, and in what way do they "love to be victims"?
@johnryantyndall @WallStreetSilv Le evil corporations have always wanted profits and actually made them. You can't explain a variable (unaffordable groceries) with a constant (le evil corporate greed).
@matinyarare Please explain what a "white company" is (you used the term, so you define it, don't tell us to "google it"), and give us some examples so we can evaluate if they a) have contracts with Eskom, and b) meet your own criteria of what constitutes a "white company".
@5atoru_ @irv442@evan_thayer@MikhailaFuller@jordanbpeterson Nobody's objecting to a *tiny portion* of the population being trans. Taking self-reports of "trans identity", which stands at something like 20-30% now (and hence not a "tiny portion"), at face value is not categorically the same as "accepting them as they are".
@Ronnfeldt @BillyBlahSAMASA @michaelplis@MikhailaFuller@dalmaer@jordanbpeterson Please show me an example of "negative content" from Jordan Peterson that's sufficiently representative of his whole body of work (even just the part of it that's online) to justify refusing to generate text in a style resembling his.
@KhyamAllami@ronkelawal Why is the part where someone bases their fear on statistics published by police "bleak"? You don't want people to base their fears on objective reality? Or do you think the police statistics are in error? What exactly is the problem here?
@Thee_Nadia@KhyamAllami@ronkelawal Why is this "rich as hell"? Do you think Oksana (the lady who checked the crime stats) is a scammer or a fraudster? Or are you just doing the usual woke collective guilt projection thing here where she's responsible for all Ukrainians' actions?
