2018-07-17 22:56:36 UTC

course looking at that, there are more jobs available than are people unemployed

2018-07-17 22:57:26 UTC

yeah the US currently has more jobs available than most of the world

2018-07-17 22:57:33 UTC

The logic you are using would be something valid to look at though, but Cortez was saying that people are working 80 hours and cant feed their kids

2018-07-17 22:57:43 UTC

currently more than the UK

2018-07-17 22:57:54 UTC

suggesting that she thinks that people are necessarily working 2 jobs

2018-07-17 22:58:29 UTC

She is trying to shoe horn all the bad things she sees into a coherent argument. She is failing.

2018-07-17 22:58:56 UTC

She also has almost no understanding of basic economics

2018-07-17 22:59:21 UTC

waiting anxiousley for the next vid XD

2018-07-17 22:59:26 UTC

Well you kind of need to not understand basic economics to be a socialist.

2018-07-17 22:59:31 UTC

Someone should ask her about supply vs demand

2018-07-17 22:59:44 UTC

lol cringe engage

2018-07-17 22:59:56 UTC

i mean to be honest economics is essentially an art

2018-07-17 23:00:01 UTC

I wonder how someone can go study economics and become socialist...

2018-07-17 23:00:18 UTC

with all of the different economic models and theories you can analyse

2018-07-17 23:00:31 UTC

A lot of things lie somewhere between art and science

2018-07-17 23:00:48 UTC

sifting though all the data (which there is alot)

2018-07-17 23:00:59 UTC

If you throw out the art or science aspect you run into trouble

2018-07-17 23:01:12 UTC

a great movie i like about economics is Boom Bust Boom

2018-07-17 23:01:17 UTC

or Bust Boom Bust

2018-07-17 23:01:35 UTC

Boom Bust Boom was correct

2018-07-17 23:01:55 UTC

it was on netflix. a really great documentary in pair with an economics 101 lecture

2018-07-17 23:02:43 UTC

still have not taken econ yet

2018-07-17 23:02:55 UTC

pretty straight forward stuff though

2018-07-17 23:03:32 UTC

yeah i just want to find a lecture series online n study that shit

2018-07-17 23:03:46 UTC

if taken with a grain of salt

2018-07-17 23:03:49 UTC

im not in school so i use the internet to my advantage as much as i can

2018-07-17 23:04:01 UTC

the green brothers have a channel

2018-07-17 23:04:14 UTC

YEAH lol hahah though i got a buddy whos majored in econ so i got a good reference

2018-07-17 23:04:17 UTC

Most important thing to remember about free markets and capitalism is this: we had these things long before we realized they were there, before we had names for them. They are a side effect of humans with stuff getting together.

2018-07-17 23:04:26 UTC

We had to invent socialism.

2018-07-17 23:05:16 UTC

yeah lol im very familliar with the principles of how free market economics works so hopefully it will be a review with some important shit my pleb ass didnt pick up over the past few years

2018-07-17 23:05:29 UTC

also the actual terms for shit

2018-07-17 23:05:32 UTC

terminology and what not

2018-07-17 23:05:37 UTC

Yes because capitalism follows human nature unlike socialism/communism which wants to forcefully change it.

2018-07-17 23:06:06 UTC

also i liek to think i have a direct example of socialism and its woes living in canada

2018-07-17 23:06:22 UTC

also a more socialist part of canada in terms of the mainstream political views lol

2018-07-17 23:07:28 UTC

West Coast Canuck here. Crown corporations are trash

2018-07-17 23:08:17 UTC

yeah im on the other side of canadia in qwebek

2018-07-17 23:08:51 UTC

lol im essentialy a francophone that was converted to anglophone via an english emmersion so i can fuck with ppl LOL

2018-07-17 23:08:56 UTC

Wew

2018-07-17 23:09:12 UTC

oh a Kweebecker

2018-07-17 23:09:36 UTC

funny thing is my familly is very involved in our local buisnesses here and we are all bilingual lol

2018-07-17 23:09:48 UTC

if u know what Loi 101 is thats a fucking joke

2018-07-17 23:10:12 UTC

Here it's Libs or NDP unless you're in Richmond, and people keep making ridiculous sweeping generalizations based on income and neighborhood

2018-07-17 23:10:55 UTC

LOL yeah stuff is way more divided here becuase of the retarded seperatists. i mean there are logical arguments for the benefit of succeding from canada but they never make them and are too retarded to know them

2018-07-17 23:11:22 UTC

I'm actually surprised Lauren Southern doesn't bring up Canada as an example more, considering she's a Surrey gal

2018-07-17 23:11:38 UTC

Yeah I've heard they're a constant out that way

2018-07-17 23:12:42 UTC

lol yeah fuck im lucky as fuck because the town i live in (sherbrooke) is liek 90% mother tounge french but i live beside an english uni in an acutal english part of town

2018-07-17 23:12:50 UTC

literally the only english part of this town

2018-07-17 23:12:55 UTC

Nice

2018-07-17 23:13:16 UTC

like i can go play at the open mic for the local bar and u dont hear quebecois music ususally

2018-07-17 23:14:34 UTC

not that i hate it but yeah i dont really play that stuff or care for it that much. its nice people appreciate their heritage but dont force me to play that shit. if i play in a french bar i can play the stuff pretty well cuz its easy peasy to sign n play but i can sing in english without an accent which is more than i can say for most of the people that play in bars

2018-07-17 23:14:54 UTC

๐Ÿ‘Œ

2018-07-17 23:14:58 UTC

funny thing though is alot of quebecers really like classic rock so when i rock some shit like simple man or something people will sing along

2018-07-17 23:15:19 UTC

I mean, those songs have lasted as long as they have for a reason

2018-07-17 23:15:26 UTC

Sherbrooke sounds pretty decent

2018-07-17 23:15:33 UTC

liek i used to play in a crock cover band and like 90% of our tunes were in english

2018-07-17 23:15:36 UTC

They won't Bill 101 you to death

2018-07-17 23:15:53 UTC

But people in rural QC are super nice

2018-07-17 23:15:59 UTC

lolwell my father went to english school so they can shove it up theri asses

2018-07-17 23:16:26 UTC

yeah in the part of quebec i live in the eastern townships its actually like 50-50 english/french in the rural areas

2018-07-17 23:16:54 UTC

even though its 90% french in the main city

2018-07-17 23:17:15 UTC

Along with the borders on Ontario, NB and the US, the people who live there are 50/50 english/french

2018-07-17 23:17:37 UTC

Don't know about Labrador, though

2018-07-17 23:18:02 UTC

But people in rural QC speak very little English if at all

2018-07-17 23:18:06 UTC

Out here I hear a lot of different languages but rarely any French

2018-07-17 23:18:20 UTC

Where is "out here"?

2018-07-17 23:18:36 UTC

the west

2018-07-17 23:18:40 UTC

he said earlier

2018-07-17 23:18:50 UTC

BC. We get a lot of Cantonese/Mandarin, Slavic stuff, a lot more Spanish now

2018-07-17 23:18:57 UTC

I missed like a million messages

2018-07-17 23:19:02 UTC

Back during the Olympics there was a lot of German

2018-07-17 23:19:20 UTC

yeah its weird how the people in ontario that speak french but live in ontario dont really have the quebecois accent lol

2018-07-17 23:19:20 UTC

Pretty consistent amount of Japanese and Korean

2018-07-17 23:19:48 UTC

I'd be surprised that anyone outside of QC (other than NB and ON border) speak french with any amount of proficiency

2018-07-17 23:19:50 UTC

some of them anyways

2018-07-17 23:20:03 UTC

There's a few out here

2018-07-17 23:20:08 UTC

Not a huge number

2018-07-17 23:20:22 UTC

yeah lol i played a show in ontario a month ago and fuck is it weird seeing all the signs in english

2018-07-17 23:20:24 UTC

Which is my point considering French is an official language

2018-07-17 23:20:32 UTC

Also anyone heading into politics basically has to or they cap their career

2018-07-17 23:20:50 UTC

feels like that whenever ive gone to the states too im like FUCK I CAN UNDERSTAND EVERYONE WTF

2018-07-17 23:20:53 UTC

Pretty much

2018-07-17 23:21:21 UTC

like ive lived in this area of QC for so long its weird even though i speak english like 90% of the time

2018-07-17 23:21:30 UTC

Even Northern Americans still have an accent, I find

2018-07-17 23:22:05 UTC

At least it's not Acadian

2018-07-17 23:22:10 UTC

What a trash dialect

2018-07-17 23:23:09 UTC

LOL man ive heard some people when i went to florida to my uncles condo speak like that i was liek WTF took me a second to get accustomed but i understood it fine after that

2018-07-17 23:23:46 UTC

i was also like wtf why are people speaking liek this down here

2018-07-17 23:24:42 UTC

If you go to a resort in Florida/Mexico/Cuba, there's a decent chance you meet someone from QC

2018-07-17 23:24:47 UTC

It's bizarre

2018-07-17 23:24:57 UTC

is it though

2018-07-17 23:25:00 UTC

those places are warm

2018-07-17 23:26:48 UTC

YEAH lol i mean my uncles condo used to be my grandfaters before he passed away

2018-07-17 23:27:07 UTC

and before that my grandather had a bungalow a majority of his life

2018-07-17 23:27:41 UTC

2018-07-17 23:27:45 UTC
