“There’s this wild disconnect between what people are experiencing and what economists are experiencing,” says Nikki Cimino, a recruiter in Denver.

    Doing well… proportionately. The talk was about growth/lack thereof.

      Proportionally, having a penny is infinitely more than having nothing, but I still can’t buy shit with a penny.

      Take your “proportionately” logic and shove it. Shit is bad. And it’s bad because capitalism has consolidated wealth at the top. Capitalism has run its course and has failed. It’s time to move on.

        I can shove it all you want, but statistics show otherwise.

        And blaming you own failures on capitalism won’t solve shit. Plenty of people are successful under capitalism, no matter what a dozen geniuses on a fringe site cry about.

        Communism has been tried and failed, either through revolution (eastern Europe), evolution to market economies (China, Vietnam) or famine and slavery (North Korea).

        Take your logic and shove it

        Ah, Leftists. The screaming children of the modern age.

        Also - Horseshoe Theory in action. Guess who else hates logic but loves being angry?
