I was just saying that people look at war as good for the economy. It is not. Sometimes war is necessary, to preserve our freedom. Sometimes war is not with boots on the ground but with diplomacy and/or currency. None of that is good for the economy but sometime it is necessary to avoid an actual war.
The most important things are life and liberty. The economy comes after life and liberty are secured.
War only has, at best, a short term boom in the economy. Production of war machines does spur the economy a bit. But in the end it crashes because it is a negative economy boost. It is, like everything in government, the Broken Window Fallacy.
Governments do not produce wealth. They don't produce anything at all. Only private citizen in a free market can produce wealth.
I don't have a socio-economic status. I get along with everyone because I don't think I am better than anyone, well except maybe you.... muah ha ha ha. I am doing okay as a software developer but going from that to social security puts me in a lower socio-economic class. And I am okay with that. I want to live more comfortable living on social security. I don't care if my next door neighbor is a nuclear physicist or a big ol redneck hillbilly. I'll get along just fine with either. I'd even get along with you if you were my next door neighbor. It would be very hard but I would do it. But I ain't moving to NYC. You could not pay me enough. Especially with Mamdani as your fuhrer.
