Daily reminder that MAGA would have deported Ayn Rand and probably would have worked with Russian dictators to make sure she was sent straight to a Siberian Gulag.
@Jorge1277043385@cski_michelle@OrevaZSN Everyone claiming "there should be no more billionaires" wants to expand government, which has universally led to more corruption. Enforcing equality of outcomes requires a massive powerful government capable of second guessing and overriding millions of consensual interactions.
@Jorge1277043385@cski_michelle@OrevaZSN Ok so stop giving politicians power to control private businesses and dole out unearned largesse to special interests like unions. Blaming billionaires who primarily get rich by being productive is silly.
@DFBbear@georgeregnery@OrevaZSN Underpaid compared to what? Your claim is arbitrary. If they are worth more, some other artist would pay them more. Why donโt they?
@Jorge1277043385@cski_michelle@OrevaZSN Ok so youโre just using basic Marxist tactics to argue that people donโt know what they want and only value what they value because theyโre not as smart as you.
@MyTeamSucksBad@georgeregnery@OrevaZSN She would still be incredibly rich even without any non-US labor. The people in the developing countries would just be poorer without that trade.
@DFBbear@georgeregnery@OrevaZSN That is not surplus value or any kind of value. She paid them all more than they could have made elsewhere. Itโs pretty to think they should have made more but thereโs no evidence they could or should have.
@Winning24365@The_Real_BiM@MarkRPellegrino "Actually, immigration itself could be a rights violation if we arbitrarily assume that it necessarily entails a totally different rights violation"
Impressive.
@BenHamilton1776@anneapplebaum Using AI slop to pursue a bootlicking award by glazing an authoritarian president for "disciplining the press"- in other words "wiping his ass with the first amendment".
All while posing as an admirer of the founding fathers.
Truly breathtaking hubris.
@TwoLastNeurons@OhHowByronic Probably because the most ambitious Danes self-select when they move to the US, attracted by the high risk/reward environment in the US.
In any case you're not comparing randomly selected populations.
@Blake3004447084@estherzelda0514 Exactly, they just swallowed the dumb meme whole and didnโt even question the logic. If someone is hitting on my hotter friend why not optimize the chance of catching the inevitable rebound??
