@UncrowdedWisdom@wbmosler Probably that tariffs act as a consumer tax so it drains US dollars along with spending cuts, and leads to a strong dollar ultimately. But I also think it curbs demand so idk
@ThinkFinance999@JohnRad15@jwblackwell@MichaelAArouet "owning" a piece of land is fundamentally absurd as it's not a product of any human labor. It was just there before any human existed. Every human-made product requires land and the resources on it. Without any sort of redistribution, we will end up exactly like the game Monopoly
@ThinkFinance999@JohnRad15@jwblackwell@MichaelAArouet capitalism = free market + property rights, no doubt about it. I wouldn't question the existence of the free market, but I don't think private property rights are as god-given or natural as many claim to be.
@peterktodd@DrCasteelEM@SwannMarcus89 lmao it's not someone randomly claiming he was conservative. It's multiple classmates seeing him taking conservative stands explicitly. Don't even bother pretending facts matter to you.
@ContrarianinKor@Rapozk@joecarlsonshow you got the timeline wrong. The Sky voice had been there for months, way before he asked for her permission the second time. SJ got shocked way too late.
@ContrarianinKor @deanrockne @joecarlsonshow that doesn't make any sense at all. They ask for permission implies they wouldn't do it otherwise. That's the exact purpose of asking for permissions. If they could just do it anyways, why even bother asking for permissions and paying a load of money?
I don't know why this Ian guy keeps showing up in my feed. All he does every day is just get you to hate this and hate that so he can collect some ad money. What a miserable account.
Oprah and the Rock would like for you, the public, to donate to help the residents of Maui. They have a combined net worth of $2.8 billion. The two of them kickstarted their fund with $10 million but now they’re calling on everyone else to donate the rest.
How very kind of them to ask for money from a public that’s already living paycheck to paycheck when they could literally fund the entire charity by themselves, or at the very least offer to match any future donations.
If Oprah's track record for past charities is any indicator, I'd be worried about where the money's actually going.
