Well NOS is just a simpleminded person. Barely coherent. If you want someone much more serious and infinitely more influential, look to Friedman. Stil...
Let me see if I can anticipate: it’s the State’s fault. Never mind that the “state” is an abstract entity and doesn’t “do” anything at all. It doesn’t...
Yes…States are bad seeds. I once saw a State rob a convenient store downtown. Can’t say I ever saw a wealthy guy do that. Germany killed lots of peopl...
So the wealthy individuals who make up the government, who pass laws that favor their class or their donors, are to blame. True. It’s also the greed a...
States do not control corporations. There’s no law telling boards of directors to distribute 90% of profits to shareholders. Corporations are gifts fr...
I think I get it: Abolish the state. Why? Because they allow the corporate sector to own and run it. No state, no plutocracy. It's democracy's fault, ...
You mean a sillier straw man, which is all this is. "As soon as he hits a certain net-worth"? What kind of idiocy is this? Is this truly where your mi...
NY times today. Just thought I’d drop it in this thread to remind ourselves what’s really going on here. Plenty of money to use on things that matter ...
For the hundredth time: they OWN THE STATE. They also ARE the state. More than half of those in congress are millionaires. The rest have to go through...
This shouldn’t be the least bit surprising. There will be plenty of other decisions to come. Watch EPA v. West Virginia, for example, which WILL limit...
90% of profits go back to shareholders, in the form of dividends and buybacks. Who decides this? The shareholders (through their boards of directors) ...
Yes. Laissez faire is nonsense because "free markets" don't exist and cannot exist. Period. So the very idea is nonsense. So to is trying to separate ...
The freedom to pay workers $15 an hour, rake in billions in profits on their backs, and distribute 90% of those profits to major shareholders— while g...
What principle? The pure fabrication of laissez-faire? Can individuals choose to "mind their own business"? Sure. Can individuals choose to work coope...
Like the liberty to produce toxic waste…or accelerate climate change…or allocate 90% of profits to shareholders…or bribe politicians. So goes this con...
Here again you’re separating that which cannot be separated. Without government — without laws, regulations, patents, even the corporation itself (a l...
“No positions of power” is essentially meaningless. Plutocracy is power in the hands of the wealthy. If by the state you mean the government, which I ...
You're nothing if not predictable. You could say the same vague thing in the 50s and 60s too. Better economy in those days, however. Odd that the same...
The “state” has never, and will never, be separated from an “economy.” So: how does that fantasy goal lead to plutocracy? Well, look around. Then comp...
Yes indeed. But since “laissez faire” is just a bullshit excuse for plutocracy and is completely anti-democracy, don’t expect anything more than “Gove...
Laissez-faire: not only hasn’t existed but cannot exist. An idiotic ideal fabricated to justify plutocracy. What believers in laissez-faire ultimately...
I think you can both be right, depending on whether we believe the world exists -- or beings exist -- even without human beings. Provided I'm understa...
Yeah, exactly. Because those videos don’t exist. Nor do those idiot claims that you fabricated. So not just a climate denier and transphobe, but a lia...
:rofl: Oh? Like what, specifically? I won’t hold my breath. Quite obsessed with that issue, aren’t you. As I said before, I’m not interested in your t...
No, that’s just your idiotic claim. A claim repeated from whatever denialist bullshit you’ve gorged yourself on. Which is why you offer no references,...
Or, if you want to stay a climate denier like you, just ignore everything that doesn’t fit that belief. That easy. Bam! “Science.” Don’t worry your li...
Climate change is a fact, not a “theory” (a term you don’t understand). There’s a mountain of evidence that supports the idea that the rate of change ...
Yes— it’s all a big hoax. Overblown. Thankfully we have experts on here like up to lead us down the right path with your intuitions. “small number no ...
Translation: How can 1 degree (such a small number) be such a BIG deal (not a small number)? It took 50 years and thousands of scientists, and now fin...
No, it’s a group of experts with overwhelming evidence that can be verified by anyone who wants to know about it. They can explain it to me and answer...
Actually, it has. Sea level has risen, and extreme weather events happen every year — breaking records. Not to mention average global temperatures are...
Don’t bother with trolls. Climate deniers don’t know about science or care about science. They’re as interested in “science” as creationists are. 50 y...
If you want to be clear, then specify what you mean. You didn’t saying “directly fighting the war.” Yes, we’re all aware that the US does not have boo...
