Besides food those other items don’t enter into people’s lives, extreme luxuries don’t matter when you’re spending half your increase me on housing.

…have you never heard of influencers, the number one job kids want to do when they grow up in every poll done on the matter since 2012?

If you’re a currency issuer then your government programs don’t run on any funding. They are allocated a maximum amount of new currency.

But modern monetary theory aside, government competitors only eliminate shitty competition, not entire industries, unless those industries are themselves useless like the insurance industry.

Wages have increased 5.5x what they were in 1950. Housing costs have increased 19x.

Wages haven’t kept up, period. Wages are not up nearly 30% since 2020.

Primarily due to kids fucking with his rallies. But now Dems decided to risk the income of a few million Americans and the circuses of a couple hundred million Americans for no real reason. So it’s an easy political win for Trump if he can stop it, while of course enriching himself and his donors that have stakes in bytedance.

They haven’t for the last 70 years. You make less than you’re grand parents.

Wages have not increased compared to any cost of living increases.

If an entire industry is bankrupt, it is no longer needed and has been supplanted by a better industry. And that usually ends in lower prices. Tractors are way, way cheaper than oxen.

You can’t vote against fascist genocidiers.

You can’t even remove them via judicial means, as netanyahu has shown.

Usually the exception. For every one of them that lasts till 90 there’s a dozen more dead by 70 via lung cancer, heart disease, or other truly horrifically painful way to die.

Oh no, you’ve never read theory or anything even marginally related to economics from anything but a corporatist perspective.

I’m so sorry.

Anyway this discussion is above you. China is a socialist state. They are a dictatorship of the proletariat, not of capital. Their economy is centrally planned. Their economy is 60% publicly owned. The part of the economy that is a private market has nothing to do with anything essential to life. No part of Marx nor Lenin’s work precludes a market economy. Not one single part.

Read your theory.

NATO has nothing to do with brics. Given you have no idea how Chinas economy works I guess I shouldn’t have expected you to know the difference between economic and military pacts.

Over half the world’s GDP and population are a part of brics btw.

The nordics have less than 40% of their economy in the private sector? Got literally any sources for that little one?

No, that’s my personal experience and prediction knowing how shit corporations are. Yeah, in an idealized world we’d all be w2 workers, but there also wouldn’t be homeless and there’s be easy to enter programs to make money if you are.

But until those programs are in place you’re risking the jobs of tens of thousands of people without other options. For no reason.

Given you need proof of residence, proof of registration and insurance, and a valid driver’s license (and valid itn or SSN) to do it, the article writer is either entirely making that part up, or the far right is correct in the absolute ridiculously improbably widespread unreported, unnoticed identity theft required for that to work.

What basic macroeconomics? The fact China’s economy is insulated from capital and isn’t reliant on imports anymore?

China isn’t a capitalist nation in anyway. They have a private market, which cannot effect the rest of the economy.
