Support for Capitalism at a new low

[jc456]

Nazi Germany was pretty successful.

hitler made a lot of weapons and built quite a lot of tunnels.

 

[Mac1958]

name a successful socialist country?

None.

That's why I called it "shitty", Einstein.

You rubes are hopeless. But amusing!

Support for my Florida Gators are at a new low for the same reason. They are losing. Just like the US is losing under capitalism. The reason for both is coaching. The US economy is undisciplined. The rules are being made by those who benefit from the rules and any attempt to make things more fair for the working class is branded as socialism by opponents and killed. Its a perfect destruction of a once great football team and a once great American economy through the lack of discipline to what made them great.

Working class -- like all the retail clerks who lost their ability to earn a living during Covid in order to enrich Democrat technocrats even further? That working class?

so you agree that demofks follow failure. Will always follow failure. Trump still made it back to DC. failure is the demofk theme song.

you'll love this one.

His tirade was to put it mildly, a bit harsh. In these public-school meetings dissent is allowed, even harsh criticism, but that guy comes across as a complete a**hole and by being that way, turns people against him, completely negating what he tries to get across.

A part of the problem with the growth of support for socialism and communism is that teachers and professors in our nation's educational system have been hired that hold those views and indoctrinate the students with them. If they get fed the lying garbage throughout their entire time from K-12 to colleges and universities, you end up with former students being convinced that the horror of communism and socialism is not just viable but a great idea.
Replace communist and socialist teachers and professors. On the basic level, they are committing sedition.

If I were the leader of China, or Russia or many other countries that hate America and want it destroyed, I would spend a lot of money on flooding America with neo-leftist ideals like Marxism and Anti-Trump rhetoric and encourage the neo-leftists to destroy the country from within. That is how you win a war without ever firing a shot, and the cost of that victory would be minimal compared to a hot war. So, if I can figure that out, you don't think China hasn't already? Now, who is funding this virulent Anti-America movement on the left?

dude, it was spot fking on!!!!! They even played along and were trapped in what he was saying, they couldn't help themselves but to be hateful and eliminating his freedom of speech. My speech doesn't have to please you, that's what makes freedom of speech.

That's EXACTLY what Marxist Russia did here for 100 freaking years. Yuri Bezmenov warned us.

 

[citygator]

did inflation reach 9.1% under Xiden? What is it today?

Yawn. Did unemployment reach 15% under Trump? What was it when Biden left? That is a stupid team sport argument. How about you get concerned about the real fundamentals?

I think he is just imitating the left. That is how they are when they talk about the right.

I did NOT say he had to be silenced. He has the right to free speech. I just personally would not have used his method to get the point across. There have been plenty of people that have stood before these school boards and very successfully chastised the boards and got their point across and in doing so, generated a great deal of applause and cheering for doing so. You saw none of that in the audience in that video. It's about garnering support for your cause, not insulting everyone in the room, even though there were most likely some on his side.

CLTC Chairwoman Brooksley Borne

I remember that name. I think she was interviewed on 60 Minutes. The people who were waving red flags were ignored because the real estate market was such an engine for growth during Shrub's admin. And because the investment community fell in love with RMBS bonds due to the relatively high rates of return for AAA rated vehicles (fraudulently) when interest rates were low.

Worker confidence in finding a new job hits record low in New York Fed survey​

Wait...........isn't trump's economy the greatest ever?

Gaslighting at its best. Low wage employees saw the largest wage growth during the post covid economy. HOWEVER, no one is getting rich at the low end even with low wage earners seeing wage increases that outpaced inflation.

The issue with low wage earners isnt Biden driven. The issues is the decades of stagnant wage growth for working class Americans. The GOP is against any efforts to address that stagnation with helpful policies.

I realize you are quite stupid, but when you deny basic facts and call them "gaslighting", you only look even less intelligent than your track record indicates.

During the post covid economy OF COURSE there was wage growth because DURING covid, people had their jobs taken away altogether.

 

[whitehall]

The trouble with this type of poll is that capitalism and socialism are complicated issues and if the pollster finds a certain demographic and uses selected wording along with some spin they can come up with any story to make a buck. They can turn black into white and vice versa if they ask the ignorant victims of government education especially if they target an angry audience.

"Fraudulently" is right. The ratings agencies were giving these steaming piles of shit bonds AAA (Treasury-level) ratings. Why? Because they were being PAID to by the banks who submitted them.

Later, those very same banks were SHORTING those very ******* bonds, WHILE they were still SELLING THEM with their AAA ratings.

But we don't need to regulate anything like that! That would be commie!

I realize you are quite stupid, but I said POST COVID and that is compared to 2019, not during covid you abject moron. Click the links so you don’t look so stupid.

Now try again: You said the working class, like retail clerks, suffered more under Biden and I put several links showing you that was wrong. Dispute the evidence or fall victim to facts again.

I dont know why you guys just dont learn that I ALWAYS come with receipts..

 

[dblack]

The reality is that proper and efficient regulation is a CRITICAL COMPONENT of Capitalism.

"proper and efficient" - that's a trojan horse if I ever heard one.

As long as it's "proper and efficient" in a way the benefits me ...

The problems with modern capitalism, in my view, primarily revolve around limited liability and the corporate charter. As long as investors can make money from the corrupt actions of the companies they own, and not be held accountable for the crimes and corruption that their companies engage in - the shit will flow downhill.
