Another high level brain wave by Rob

You are so behind the curve you can't even see around the corner.

Cool.
Tell me how an economy can continue when the worker bees don't get paid enough to buy the product they produce.
I understand that you survive without producing or earning income. but that's not all of society.

Instead of just mouthing off while you sit there letting society take care of you, bring me "around the curve" to your level of genius.

Create a scenario for me of a small self-contained society where the workers get paid to produce all of the goods consumed by that society, yet their pay is low enough for the "boss" of industry to amass wealth, but not enough for the workers to be financially "in the black".

Start from the very beginning, where everyone has the same amount of money in their pocket, and enough goods in their house to last for a full month before they have to start replacing them.
Be very clear with your math and your plan.

No referece to pyramids. No reference to UFOs, or IBM, or Nazis. No reference to AI or robotics.
Just tell us the economy plan, and show how it will be a success.
Bring me "around the curve".

I'd prefer to pay...but when my privacy is shredded on top of actually owning the copy of what I paid for...it become harder and harder to justify spending the money

And I lost access to stuff I bought on Amazon Prime Video. Looks like they lost rights to the programming, so I guess my ownership gets flushed too. A-holes.

None of this makes you ask questions... you have already come to your conclusion. Religious Trump supporter = GUILTY!!!

"Ask questions"? he got busted for it before, and admitted guilt.
What questions should I be asking?

I don't care what they do. The whole of the world are not missionaries.

I mentioned religious nuts tryin to convert the world, and you retorted as if the ide is ridiculous.
I give you a very common example of the reality (in fact, the Catholic church alone has over 410,000 missionaries working to convert the masses), and your response is "I don't care".

Is that how you deal with any fact that proves your opinions and beliefs false? "I don't care"?
The ostrich game.

Cool

I took care of it.

Nothing in my inbox. Forum software might be slow.

BINGO. And so we turn to other producers in other places, who can provide goods at prices we can afford.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

We either turn into The Jetsons or Star Trek where we all exist just to maintain our existence, or we end up with the haves and the have-nots.

Huh??? So we turn to outside producers - WTF are you talking about? Overseas production has done nothing to curb the endless debt & inflation. It's mere let the ChiComs in on the scam.

Both sides do dirty things... Rob seems hell bent on just focusing on people who support Republicans. Well....

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
Even before he formally entered the Democratic presidential race, a former Nevada assemblywoman accused Joe Biden in March 2019 of inappropriately touching her and kissing her on the head at a campaign rally in 2014. Days later, a Connecticut woman said he touched her inappropriately, and rubbed noses with her at a 2009 political fundraiser.

Rep. Eric Massa of New York (Democrat) resigned in 2010 to avoid an ethics investigation into his admitted groping and tickling of multiple male staffers. He later stated on Fox News, "Not only did I grope [a staffer], I tickled him until he couldn't breathe."[131][132]

Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York (Democrat) admitted to sending sexually explicit photos of himself to several women through his Twitter account.[140] He resigned from Congress on 16 June 2011,[141] but he continued sexting.[142] On 6 November 2017, Weiner began serving a 21-month sentence for sexting a 15-year-old girl.[143]

Rep. David Wu of Oregon (Democrat) resigned from the House on 26 July 2011 after being accused of making unwanted ****** advances toward a fundraiser's daughter.[147][148]

Rep. Eric Swalwell of California (Democrat) allegedly had an illicit affair with Chinese spy Christine Fang during his first marriage to Rochelle Swalwell, resulting in the two's divorce. [149][150][151] As a result of these allegations, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy unsuccessfully moved to remove Swalwell from his seat on the House Intelligence Committee. Upon becoming House Speaker in the 118th Congress, Kevin McCarthy refused to reappoint Swalwell to the House Intelligence Committee.[152]

Rep. Katie Hill of California (Democrat) was alleged to have engaged in an extramarital affair with her male legislative director, Graham Kelly, and a 22-year-old female staffer, prior to her election to Congress. In October 2019, news reports indicated that the House Ethics Commission was investigating allegations against Hill.[192][193][194][195] Hill and her husband were estranged by this point, and he engaged in revenge **** against her.[196][197] She later resigned as a result of the allegations.[198]

Cal Cunningham of North Carolina, Democratic candidate for the US Senate, lost the 2020 election to incumbent Thom Tillis[204] after information leaked in October 2020 that Cunningham had sent sexually suggestive text messages to a married California woman.[205]

I think I made my point.

You failed to make the point.
No one said Democrats don't do anything bad. Pretty much EVERYONE does bad things of some sort. Human nature.

My posts are about the hypocrites who preach, wail, moan, proselytize, demand that others follow a rule, yet for some reason consider themselves exempt from that rule. HYPOCRITES.
A lot of your examples are of Democrats cheating on their wives. Do you consider that analogous to possessing child pron?

Biden rubbed noses with someone is an example? But you defend Trump against being a ****** after jamming his fingers into an unwilling participant.
Damn, I'm literally laughing out loud right now.

He was close earlier when talked about profit margins, but then TDS derailed him.

It's the talk about bringing production back to the US, which is being touted as what will save our country.

You've made MANY posts about how we need to bring production back from overseas.
I've asked MANY times how we can do so with the way our economy works right now.
You NEVER answered, other than angry responses that it must be done, and I'm anti-America for saying it's not really possible.

I asked Buck to explain HOW we can do it. Can you explain how it could be done?

This is what I requested. A simple exercise they might have a student in High School or College do.

Create a scenario for me of a small self-contained society where the workers get paid to produce all of the goods consumed by that society, yet their pay is low enough for the "boss" of industry to amass wealth, but not enough for the workers to be financially "in the black".

Start from the very beginning, where everyone has the same amount of money in their pocket, and enough goods in their house to last for a full month before they have to start replacing them.

I've lost games and movies because a service no longer had the rights. Physical copies of games don't have the game on them anymore, movies TV and music are only yours ad long as the service you purchased it through retains rights...then all subscriptions in software these days...you can't own it by paying, pirates own their copies though...

Those are Dems, so the point will be missed.

Do you equate infidelity with child ****?
Do you think a preacher getting caught with a hooker is the same as Joe Citizen getting caught with a hooker?
How about Joe Atheist?

Why would I create a scenario based on fantasy and delusion? I'll simply refer you to pre-Nafta/Gatt economies. The world has existed without China dominating manufacturing, the world existed without the American hegemony, etc, etc, etc. The fact that you are incapable of visualizing that which already existed says alot.

I don't think he's anti-religous. I think it's just the fact religious folks tend to support Trump and the Orange Dude really gets under his skin. More TDS than bigotry.

Things like why nothing came of the first time?

0.005% of the worlds population. It's not a big deal.

Is that how you deal with any fact that proves your opinions and beliefs false? "I don't care"?
The ostrich game.

You are not a critical thinker.

Nothing in my inbox. Forum software might be slow.

I listed plenty of Democrats that have done bad things. Scroll up. Read. Your people are choir boys either.

Yeah, I have told him he is a bigot... guess what he did.
