Capitalism created a society where child labor wasn't required to survive.
As I’ve said many times, capitalism has been great. A giant leap forward for civilization.
Yet you want to replace it with a system which has had to revert to child labor in every society its been installed.
I want people to have healthcare, I want money out of politics, I want tuition free college.
I expect America to be capitalist for my entire life and that’s okay. And yes, capitalism is one of the reasons I’m afforded the ability to say that.
If you want healthcsre get a job that offers it. Money out of politics fine. As long as that goes for unions too... Free college, no way, you got 12 years free... now either work for it or take a loan out from private lender.... get rid of subsidized loans and the cost will go way down....
Your last point is the irony of all of this. It’s very true. Looking back on everything, starting to back the loans may have been the single worst policy ever created. Lots of current issues that get traced back to this.
Yup that's why I mentioned it. There is a reason college costs have exploded... free money... hyper inflation is bad no matter what the avenue
Things government has "made affordable" over the last several decades
Healthcare
Education
Housing
Childcare
Things that the government has ignored in which free markets have been able to operate
Computers
Cellphones and other electronics
Elective surgeries such as hair transplants and breast implants
Media content
Notice a common correlation? I can literally learn a trade from home right now on a cellphone that cost me almost nothing on a media platform that actually costs me nothing. All because the government didn't intervene to "make it affordable" to do so. How's your prospects of buying a home? How much did your education cost you? LoL if you think you can afford kids and childcare if the other two are hurting you.
Free markets and competition make things affordable to the common man. Central planning and regulation drive costs up.
You didn’t build those roads though post incoming.
Watched a show on the Interstates on the History channel
Amazing engineering that in no way could be duplicated today. I have no idea how cost effective it was, and it was a trillion or two over budget but they basically built the interstates in 12 years. I was there as we trans itioned from US 99 to I 5 or the Five as we like to call it. Martin Way, Capital Way. Marginal Way in Seattle. We watched the Beacon Hill cut being built
I may have a point - I'll pay taxes for good roads and lots of them
Not bike lanes and magic unicorns
The rest of government is a shit show. National defense is also something worth paying for but government has become bloated beyond all recognition and we are currently pretending we can tax someone else and keep jacking up spending
Yup I am a limited government libertarian, not no government libertarian as some of the real crazy libertarians are lol... roads is one of them that I believe in spending good money on.... one thing that pisses me off is they starve the road budget so they force people to raise taxes saying they have no money for roads... the typical bait and switch.

Who doesn't have healthcare in this country right now Kobe? Btw, what do you think the impact on our healthcare system will be after Biden, the guy you voted for, lets in millions of more illegals immigrants? Who does that hurt the most when it comes to healthcare Kobe?

I’m going to let you in a little secret, Kobe…and I want you to remember this, if nothing else, going forward.
You absolutely cannot make something “free” and avoid its immediate and almost total de-valuation. Full stop, it’s a cold-welded fact of society and human nature. You need to get it out of your head that a service provided by others should be free to anyone who wants to utilize it, be it education, healthcare, or anything else you’re currently dreaming of not having to pay for.
Someone, somewhere is funding that service. Free does not exist.
I cannot express how fucking stupid you sound trying to explain that “well actually” things aren’t free.
Same goes for the dipshit who acts like it is free.

Meme fodder. Let me tell you all of my stories working with corrupt Cal Trans and DOT officials.

In 1956 it took Ike and national security
They also had to buy off the cities

What are we in year 20 on the I-5 money pit near the Tacoma Dome? I recall how long it took them to complete the Olympia money pit. I shit you not the other day I started counting the "workers" standing around watching the few that were working on the Max Line near Lloyd Center in PDX. I got up to 10 before the light changed.
Stock grants are indeed taxable to the recipient -which is kind of fucked because in order to pay the tax on the income, one has to liquidate a portion of the stock.
Stock options aren't taxable (assuming they are above market price at the date of grant) until they are exercised.
There's generally also years between the date the stock based compensation expense is recognized on the books and when it is actually deductible for tax purposes to the corporation, if ever.

I really want to hear the part-time barista level-set to the group on how we make the cost of goods and services disappear in healthcare and education.
