Zone1 What is Wrong with Inequality?

[Hollie]

Welcome to the tRump *administration.

No, “equity” requires the implementation of a particular socio-political ideology,

Welcome to a reality based worldview.

Labor benefits from a strong union

And high prices, which you also complain about.

Free market is the best way, "the system" (regulation) is what is limiting competition and opportunity.

Except we don’t have free market capitalism and haven’t for decades. We have a quasi Fascist economy where big corporations and big government collude to benefit themselves, while harming the public. Government doesn’t regulate business any longer, to any significant degree.

Nice retort. Ignorant however.

You mean you still believe the government regulates big business. LMFAO. Did you refuse to learn anything from the COVID vaccine scam?

Big business has free reign to do whatever it wishes, because it buys off government. You don’t know our government is for sale to the highest bidder, yet it’s been evident for years.

Yes, I learned that gov't. forced many new rules on business.

 

[gipper]

Yes, I learned that gov't. forced many new rules on business.

So dumb. Open your eyes moron.

 

[gipper]

Yes, I learned that gov't. forced many new rules on business.

What a great country!

Also provides a workforce able to buy consumer goods

And you complain when prices are high, just not when inflation happens with a democrat president. Only after he leaves office do you dare complain.

I was a CWA member for THIRTY-FIVE YEARS and you are wrong.

I don’t know if you realize it, but military personnel have always been required to get vaccinations.

The decision is made by command and what a soldier or sailor reads on conspiracy sites does not come into consideration

They were not required to get the vaccines before they joined! There is quite a bit of difference. I worked in recruiting during COVID. If you didn't have the shot, you could not join. During prospecting calls, that was the number one reason why kids did not want to join.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Military spending was at record highs

If your service decided not to spend money on maintenance.
It is on them

Funding DEI and "woke" programs, like drag queen shows.

Too much consolidated wealth is bad for the economy and bad for society.

Give us your wealth redistribution plan, comrade.

I am not directing racism. I am calling out white racism. The same white racism that created the HIB visa to hire people from India instead of blacks. I get real tired of you racists whining about somebody being racist because they refuse to take your bs.

People use the race card as a good excuse for not getting there.

What Country Has the Most Millionaires: A Rundown in 2025​

Inequality existed back in the past. The rich had a lot of money, and the poor had almost nothing. Was that good?

We're far more equal now. The problem is that the rich are using their wealth to enrich themselves and impoverish the poor. Why? Supposedly there's an electoral system where the poor can vote for their own interests. But no, the electoral system doesn't really allow that, it forces the poor to vote for two people who are usually out to enrich themselves and do the bidding for the rich.

Time to change the electoral system.

Its government policy that creates poverty and traps the poor in urban plantations dependent on welfare and schools that dont teach real skills. When Bill Gates creates Amazon he creates opportunity and the poor now have path to wealth. The government just creates a dependent class of broken families
