Margaret knew what the score was! However, we don't teach history anymore.

Dems and Socialists hate Thatcher as much as they do Reagan.

Both were absolute garbage for humanity and the world.

They’re the only ones for the most part fixing the poverty capitalism is producing.

Government is great till they spend money that wasn't theirs.

Which means whenever they spend money, it's not their money, right? The govt doesn't earn a dime. The only money they get is by taking it from we the people.

They earn money through fines and tariffs.

That's absolutely *not* "earning" money.

Apparently the Russian / Soviet-era thinking regarding how money is earned is far different than it is here in America.

Here in America the government earns money by printing it and causing inflation. Pretty sure that's bad by all standards.
The way we used to earn money was tariffs and fines.
Also flagged for your insinuation that I'm Russian. That's harassment.

Nope. Never said anything like that. Being Russian means your totalitarian government is going to make your life much harder. Kind of like our American totalitarian government.

Because your statement insinuates I'm Russian. That's harassment. They should really get your alts banned, but you have a friend in high places.

SOsoDEFF, lokiare is perhaps operating under the impression that your account is actually mine as an alt. If lokiare had any clue about how we've clashed already, even he would have to admit that he's wrong. But I doubt he would admit it.

There are a grand total of about 3 leftists on this site, I suspect they are all paid trolls and one of them has a mod account. They have many alts. This was proven a while back.

See, now *that* is something that should be flagged. To compare the US govt with any sort of equivalency to the Russian govt is ignorant at best. It's actually a lot of other things that I won't say, because accurately describing someone will get you an imgflip timeout.

Consider this SOsoDEFF:

Unfortunately the federal government no longer reflects the will of the people. Therefore its totalitarian. Its an accurate assessment.

You clearly need a primer on what the word "earn" means. Printing money does not qualify. Tariffs and fines are also not earning money.

I didn't insinuate anything. You may have inferred. Besides, saying someone is Russian is not harassment. I hate to say it, but you probably need to look up that word, too.

I will say that based on my exchanges with you, you're clearly a Putin supporter, which is a bad thing, imo. Being Russian? No, that's not a bad thing, and that's not what makes Putin a bad person.

Earn = take an action to receive payment.
If you constantly do something insulting like calling someone an enemy of their country of origin, its harassment.
I don't support Putin or Russia. I do however look for the truth in a matter and in this case Putin has reasons for what he is doing.

Well if you consider missile emplacements along your borders by your enemies "no good reason" after he warned them that he would invade if they did it. Then I can't help you. I refer you to the Cuban missile crisis.

Say you don't support Putin or Russia, then the next comment you say why you support Putin and Russia's aggressive actions.
Irony much?

No, I explain why Putin did what he did. It doesn't mean I support him. He's completely wrong and doing evil, but I understand his thought process.
Without understanding that distinction, I now understand why you are having such a hard time communicating with others on this site. You should study logic, it'll help you understand.

America didn't invade Cuba and take it over. We blocked Russia from delivering the nukes. In Ukraine that would have been like NATO posting troops along the Russian border to keep them from coming in.

Putin wasn't warning them. He was telling them the action he'd take if they did what they did. It was evil to say that and it was evil to invade, but the Ukrainian people were warned and went ahead anyway.

That's not capitalism. In capitalism businesses are allowed to fail and are regulated by the market, not the government.

Sorry, my life doesn't revolve around imgflip.

Its not practiced anywhere. That's the point.

Austrian economists are such geniuses.

1. Recessions are natural.
2. Do nothing about them.

F**k capitalism.

I don’t receive any kind of social benefits. I work just like you, except, I know that I’m being exploited.

Say, if you’re in construction, are you working a union job?

If you are being exploited does that mean someone is forcing your labor? Or if it is mutually consensual why not change your world. I am not union, I am self employed and have been my whole life. I didn't graduate high school but still manged to scratch my way to wealth doing jobs nobody else wanted to. This is America, there are no excuses for letting yourself be exploited. Get up at the Crack of dawn and work harder than anyone you know and wealth will follow.

Men don't make more than women in the US. The studies that showed that didn't take into account that most women work part time jobs and part time jobs pay less.
When they adjusted for that it turns out pay is pretty even.

I find flaws every day in compiled statistics, I hear them and look around at my personal experiences. My wife and I have two children. Yes, at a certain point she took time from her career when they were young to be there for them. She made no money and i picked up the slack. After they were a bit older, she resumed working and now makes twice what I do, and I make good money. So, at the end of the game, she will be equal or have made more than I have. I wonder if the statistics take into account how many poor single moms have low earnings because they are doing the job of two people? There are so may dip shits that father children and are absent monetarily and otherwise. As for people of color earning less as you previously mentioned I just know what I see. My drywall guy is Hispanic and i regularly write him checks above 20K. My plumber is Black and charges me $122.00 per hour. Both of these gentlemen make more money than I do. And yes, they earn it busting ass and doing a good job. They will be the first to call bullshit, you get out what you put in. Enough of the whining! No, the world is not fair or equal and never will be. No matter how much we try to deny or escape it we are part of nature and nature is competition. Some make it, some don't.

In the US recessions are caused by multinational corporations manipulating the markets and getting caught.
