Communism doesn't work.
Capitalism doesn't work.
Socialism doesn't work.

All end up in debt. I‌ used to think human nature does not comply with the above but as I grow‍ up into a beautiful little asteroid; it's those at the top who don't want it⁠ to work, what a load of inbred mudbloods.
 
It can hardly surprise anyone when they watch one documentary after another about the USA's‌ debt. It's sad, but as a superpower, it's no problem... or maybe it is?
 
capitalism does⁤ work as does sound money.

The problems started to spiral out of hand, once usa⁣ embarked and embraced socialism.
(introduction of the Fed, income tax, all sorts of wars against⁢ xyz fueled by easy money etc etc)
 
Communism also works, on paper. It's human nature that ruins it. Capitalism also works, on paper.⁠ It's human nature that ruins it. But it is the nature of those on top⁤ who want to control everything because they think they're better than the rest of us.⁣
 
I do believe this. I‌ practice what I would consider "Capitalism."
I'm NOT starting wars or telling others how "I"‍ should spend THEIR money! stupi#21
It's just strange to me how some people think they have⁠ a right to other people's possessions. Really shocking. All they had to do was read⁤ the 13 commandments. 🙄
 
"A well-organized minority will always defeat a disorganized majority"⁤

In the context of capitalism, socialism, or communism, the real struggle lies in the control⁣ of information. Those at the top will always possess knowledge and power that the ordinary⁢ people lack. It's not about the economic system,it's about the information you hold, how effectively︀ you use it to control those around you, and how you leverage it to disrupt︁ your competitors.
 
True - in context - I was all for bringing technology that brings information⁢ to the masses to make education decisions from - then realized the masses prefer spoon︀ fed without having to make a decision themselves - thus opted for internal use -︁ best decision ever made - there will always people in different ranks/perspectives and coupled with︂ admiration/resentment - just make what you can and run with what they allow.
 
Your observation is spot on. There is a reason why Socrates hated democracy!⁣ His critique of democracy hinges on the idea that an uninformed majority often fails to⁢ make sound decisions, a concept still relevant today.

Some might say:

Give a man︀ a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and︁ you feed him for a lifetime"

However, in today's context, this concept is flawed if︂ the majority are unwilling or incapable of learning how to fish. People nowadays often lack︃ the necessary knowledge and critical thinking skills to make wise decisions, and they either fail︄ or refuse to acknowledge this!.

Just saw︌ this:

I rest my case! Cyprus, I wish you the best of luck, it︍ would be fun! @CyprusLawyer101 Give the guy some money to pass on things that might︎ benefit us here in OCT! smi(&%
 
Ref teaching fishing rather than giving fish, have a former employee - one I like︄ as a friend - during Covid he was having issues paying his mortgage - basically︅ gave in 15k UK, another friend of his paid his CC off 22k

Since that︆ point multiple requests for help so another 10-12k

Few months ago he asked again -︇ responded no.

Said instead of treading water ask for more money or find a better︈ paid job - cost of living etc - had three pay rises and still treading︉ water.
 
The US GDP‌ is 29 trillions as of today, so a 34 trillion debt is not that bad‍ compared to other countries (Italy's debt to GDP is 140%)

I wouldn't be surprised if⁠ it gets to 40 trillion debt in just a few more years, they can't stop⁤ printing money.

They treat billions like nickels and dimes....
