@libobral Rural areas supply cities with agricultural products, raw materials, and natural resources. Do you think if the US was one giant concrete jungle things would work? Nvm the environmental devastation.

@dizzyborden1972 @omgsidewalks Others calling social welfare communism has zero basis in reality or this conversation. You're projecting others opinions on me and making an ass of yourself in the process

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@dizzyborden1972 @omgsidewalks What is your point? If I thought the US was the bastion of a well functioning society I would have said so. It's not relevant. They are a capitalist country. Every country mixes in some social welfare that doesn't change the economic system.

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@dizzyborden1972 @omgsidewalks "comparative analysis" if that's what you call it is irrelevant. Switzerland is a capitalist nation that has all but eliminated poverty

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@dizzyborden1972 @omgsidewalks I didn't bring up the US you did. And you still don't understand the definition of capitalism. Or how there isn't a single nation in the world that is 100% capitalist

@ProFootballTalk "Aiyuk’s career has declined rapidly since he tore his ACL in Week Seven of the 2024 season"

Tbf is started declining well before that. Pretty much right after he got paid.

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@dizzyborden1972 @omgsidewalks So just bash the US, got it.

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@dizzyborden1972 @omgsidewalks It's a universal healthcare mandate. You need to pay for private insurance, which costs vary depending on coverage selected and age, geography, etc. University also private, similar costs.

I think you need to learn what capitalism actually is. Or did you just wanna bash the US?

@Unpaid1ntern @noah_smith321 Bruh, she's been bad for the sport. If you wanna fan girl over her feel free but as a NASCAR fan she's done nothing to help the sport. BJ has invested millions of dollars. She didn't even qualify for JAR at the rock and had to pay for a Joey Gase car kicking JJ Yeley to the curb

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@noah_smith321 @Unpaid1ntern And pays for rides and wrecks people as a lapper.

She's treated no different than any other pay driver no talent bum.

She went about her NASCAR career in the complete wrong way. It's just a side quest for her, why does she deserve respect?

@FiniteDante @finestlibyan Says the guy with a pride flag in his tag. Talk about things being forced.

@Noems42 Assumed it was rage bait looking at #1, confirmed when I saw #10.

@georgeregnery @ChrisMartzWX Desantis has been a big proponent of the flat tax, driving revenue through sales. More money in citizens pockets means more spending means more more money for the government. Whether it's more or less or breaks even it gives citizens the ability to control their tax burden

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@Bornakang Per serving it's actually a bit less than the $5.43 - must be cali prices given I've never seen a burger combo that expensive either.

Yeah the ingredients will cost more but you're getting much more than a burger. This example plays a lot better when you're feeding a family of 5

@watanabeKSU @maaaackle The original thread was about people who 'hate' cars

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@WivesGuy @maaaackle So you're in a similar boat, but saying no one else does it? Just a quick Google will show you how popular DIY culture is.

Also it's not my identity, it was an example. I mentioned hustle culture, buying and selling things. Gig economy working multiple jobs. Tons of examples

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@WivesGuy @maaaackle It's more common than you think. But everyone has their thing. Hustle culture is real too. It's certainly a mentality. Not everyone is a lazy slob. Not everyone spends their days at the grocery store walking around town. I'm sure not gonna tell anyone how to live their life tho.

@redroomrantings My freezer does a pretty good job preserving stuff

[Dick Blaha @zonewintergreen]

@Rakeshhkumaar You see that exact dynamic in every country of every type of government system.

The answer is usually drugs. Which is still not inherent to capitalism
