Because there is nothing else to buy. Real global growth is almost zero, so the dollars around the world are starting to come back, but as I mentioned, there is almost nothing else to buy.

The economy bus crashed into a wall a couple of years ago, but while the the front is completely wrecked the rear still hasn’t noticed the impact. Money is flowing front to back trying to escape, yet at the same time governments pour even more money at the windshield so people at the back don’t notice the accident.

Stocks are safe assets as long as the fed keeps thinking stocks are the economy, real state is a safe asset as long as the government and police exists.

> there is no reason to believe that, in the absence of a centralizing force, the weights should standardize.

That force is commerce, and it has almost never been absent in human history.

No you cannot. Government is stopping you by preventing companies from hiring workers for more than they allow. That is the reason people get two or even three jobs.

> It's so weird to me to see people argue against a shorter work week.

No one is arguing against a shorter work week, that's just misrepresenting the position. Furthermore, you've been able to offer 4 day work weeks to your employees since forever, no one is stopping you. In fact you can offer them 3 days work week right now since you are so benevolent. Why don't you offer them 1 day work weeks while you are at it? You should make a list for that.

The pushback is against the idea of government decreeing the number of days you are allowed to work.

They are so unlikely, everyone else that didn't make it feels entitled to tell them how to be successful.

They are literally threatening to split Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google. Crime is up 1000% and people like you are dismissing it. It is a safe city if you never bother to walk into the city, and the problem is expanding. It won't be a safe city for much longer, or a rich city. There are no restaurants in the world that can change that.

> If you think there are not strategists taking the best available information an d making 30 year plans then you are quite mistaken.

So they planed all of this then, 30 years ago right? This is what the strategists wanted? Pretty lame strategists if you ask me.

> I have a feeling people who don’t get the vaccine are going to end up in camps. I know that’s already true in some countries.

That is a lie. In no country that is happening.

I mean, everything you said is a lie, but don't have more time to waste with "arguments" like yours, just wanted to make sure everyone else here knows that that baseless claim in particular is a lie.

Blaming others for your position in life will not change your situation. Divisiveness through lies like this, when there are plenty of examples to refute it, is not the solution. You are radicalizing the discussion on a topic only unity can tackle, and that will not end well.

He means rich families where also once poor.

Innovation requires instability. Europe decided long ago that life security and 'quality of life' was their goal, which is a worthy goal, but every decision you make means there is a path you didn't take.

You can't have everything.

Aren't prosperity and wealth things we want to see? We shouldn't tax wealth at all, that is what we want, a wealthy society.

There is only one that matters, the number of graduates working in a field unrelated to the degree.

In a gold standard the price of gold would not be 'above its free market valuation' but it would be the market valuation, taking into account its rediscovered monetary role.

In a gold standard the currency used would still be the dollar, just backed by gold, so the FED would be able to print it into the dust just the same. The money supply could still expand just as it does now to accommodate for growth, but the main difference is the rest of the world wouldn't be subsidizing the US any longer.

They are not required to accept them, OnlyFans is doing it just fine without Apple. They chose to be in Apple's platform. Voluntarily.
