Left-wing economics only works in left-wing propaganda. In the real world, it fails horribly.
“Sweden is not socialist—because the government doesn’t own the means of production. To see that, you have to go to Venezuela or Cuba or North Korea,” says Norberg.

“We did have a period in the 1970s and 1980s when we had something that resembled socialism: a big government that taxed and spent heavily. And that’s the period in Swedish history when our economy was going south.”

When you fail to learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it. We cannot permit the left’s rejection of real education to doom us economically.

Nothing ends in failure like idiotic left-wing policy...
For the average person, the cost of the war on climate change can be severe. In a country like France, which is already dealing with economic hardship, low growth, and high joblessness rates, you have a recipe for disaster.
The Global Warming farce kills businesses with regulations, costs jobs, hammers people with taxes, and results in the same thing as every other left-wing policy: poverty.

I don't think historians accept the premise that one is doomed to repeat history.

I don’t think your teachers accepted the fact that you couldn’t read. Otherwise, you’d still be in grade school.

Nobody is doomed to repeat history. What was stated is not learning from history dooms one to repeat it.

Employee hours have been reduced in 76.5% of full-service restaurants in New York City and 36% said they had to eliminate jobs in response to the city's minimum wage increase, according to a survey done by The NYC Hospitality Alliance. The survey also found most limited-service restaurants plan to reduce hours or eliminate jobs in the coming year.
This is not an anomaly. The same exact thing happened in Seattle, California, Cuba, the former U.S.S.R.

New York Restaurants Struggle to Adapt to Higher Wages
 
Nothing ends in failure like idiotic left-wing policy...
As the minimum wage began to climb, the Manns faced tough decisions. First, they were forced to cut expenses, which meant letting go four of seven employees at the Seattle shop.
More than 50% of their workforce lost their jobs because left-wing government interfered with the free market and artificially inflated labor costs.

Seattle Couple Fears $16 Minimum Wage Could Doom Subway Franchise
 
Nothing ends in failure like idiotic left-wing policy...
Restaurants are raising prices to adjust for the higher salaries they must pay workers.
Wait...what? Businesses are raising their prices to cover the unnatural labor costs forced on them by idiotic left-wing policy? Noooo. Who would have thought? And with those increased prices for everything, the minimum wage worker is no further ahead than they were before the increase. But everyone else who didn’t get an increase is now further behind. If only the left understood basic economics.

Some New Yorkers aren't happy that $15 minimum wage has increased food prices
 
Only the left has the type of profound stupidity to keep trying what has a 100% failure rate world-wide. They never learn.

Are you fucking stupid? You guys are calling the progressives straight up socialists more than they do themselves. They dont want central government ownership of production. They want some solutions that remove the profit motive for problems where what we want is not more profit. Health care - we want healthy people not profit. Education - we want educated people not profit. Environment - we want our precious irreplaceable and necessary world to survive as is so we can survive....not profit. How hard is that to understand you lazy disingenuous cow?

Well no shit...progressives never admit their true agenda, dumb ass. They know they won’t get voted into power if they do.
They dont want central government ownership of production.
Uh...yes they do. They want government control of everything. And socialism isn’t limited to government production. When you redistribute the results of production, you are indirectly controlling it.
Health care - we want healthy people not profit.
It is the pursuit of profit which drives the innovation, breakthroughs, efficiencies, and quality that results in healthy people, you ignorant fuck. That’s why healthcare in Cuba and Venezuela is atrocious while it is the best in the world in the U.S.
Education - we want educated people not profit.
It is the pursuit of profit which drives the innovation, breakthroughs, efficiencies, and quality that results in education, you ignorant fuck. That’s why U.S. universities such as Harvard and Yale are the elite in the world.
Environment - we want our precious irreplaceable and necessary world to survive as is so we can survive....not profit.
The environment is just fine, you ignorant fuck. It doesn’t need you “brave” social justice warriors “protecting” it.
 
Nothing ends in castrophic failure like ignorant left-wing policies...
People are rarely arrested for vagrancy, aggressive panhandling, or going to the bathroom in front of people’s homes in San Francisco. In 2015, there were 60,491 complaints to police, but only 125 arrests.
The left’s absurd ideology ends in economic collapse, politcal collapse, and moral collapse every time.

San Francisco's Liberal Policies Have Made It a Slum

I'll respond to some of this. Nations with more socialized medicine are continuing on with innovative breakthroughs just fine. My friend is over in London atm researching and developing protein folding data processing tech to develop tools to fight cancer and other diseases. How is that possible in your ass backward world view? What do our big pharma guys do? They jack up the price of cheap medicines to line their profit margins and protect their intellectual property, rather than cure anything. They are focused on profit which requires continued treatment of returning customers. Their roadmap requires them to be that way, for it would be unethical to not put the returns on investment of the shareholder owners first. What they innovate is exactly what I've laid out, a solution based on lifetime dependant treatment rather than cures or prevention.

The environment is imperiled due to our industrial activities and we as part of the biological system are as well. We evolved within a system and if we destroy enough of that system as poor and stupid stewards of our own home, we will make our species go extinct or worse, force ourselves into a gross and unnatural artificial lifestyle. We are in the midst of a great extinction event. Climate change, habitat destruction, and chemical toxification are the major cause of this. I dont expect us to survive in a desirable way under corporate conservative leadership, which trades our health and long term survivability for private profit and economic growth. We'll end up in sterile lifeless solitude.

America had the power and wielded it to push better environmental stewardship worldwide. That's part of what positive american leadership was along with democracy and human rights. It was admirable and the right thing to do. We are losing that under trump and the GOP by elevating despots and abandoning our principals and post of positive leadership.

1.) I hate to break it to you, but England has been working on decentralizing their healthcare system for the last decade because it is unsustainable. It is collapsing their entire nation and they know it.

2.) How interesting that you didn’t follow your friend to England. I mean, if shit was soooo much better there, you’d think you would!

Tinfoil hat, much??? :rolleyes:

We have the best doctors, facilities, technology, and medicines in the world. Period. End of story. Only and idiot would want to exchange that for third world socialist “healthcare”. An idiot or a parasite.

Spoken like a true immature left-wing lunatic idealist. I don’t want “positive” leadership. I want effective leadership. And President Trump has provided the most effective leadership since Ronald Reagan.
 
As Ronald Reagan stated - "weakness invites aggression". When Bill Clinton refused to deal with Al Qaeda and pulled out of Somalia at the first sign of a fight (like a coward), he convinced the world that America was cowardly.

I guess the point is that it is more proper to wait until 241 Americans are killed to cut-and run as Reagan did in Lebanon. This isn't to knock Reagan, only to point out that some of this chest pounding of right wingers is downright foolish.

Except that none of it is “chest pounding”. It’s basic psychology. Everyone who knows a damn thing about the criminal mind (or the “school yard bully” if you will) knows that showing weakness absolutely ensures aggression. Only ignorant leftists don’t know that.
