do you think if we're living in a dystopia we would know?

well what was suggested would be take from the poor

" take everyone who works 2 jobs and take one of those jobs away and give it to another person"

like, you can look at NK and say, oh man, that country is whack... but the people inside are just like, hey this is normal, this is all i know

u mean lower unemployment

yeah you know they got a 0% unemployment rate in NK 😉

tbf not everyone in NK thinks it is normal

Cortez was saying the reason there is low unemployment is because people are working two jobs. My statement was meant to the logical extension of that

LOL ahh

yeah theres a few red pilled

@Thirg well what you said would technically lower unemployment

but the masses .. would they know we're living in a dystopia

But the logic she was using was under different context

yeah liek that NK soldier that escaped to SK and asked to hear K-pop to make sure he was out of hell

people are using up too many jobs and it is causing people to not be unemployed

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

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

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

currently more than the UK

suggesting that she thinks that people are necessarily working 2 jobs

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

She also has almost no understanding of basic economics

waiting anxiousley for the next vid XD

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

Someone should ask her about supply vs demand

lol cringe engage

i mean to be honest economics is essentially an art

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

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

A lot of things lie somewhere between art and science

sifting though all the data (which there is alot)

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

a great movie i like about economics is Boom Bust Boom

or Bust Boom Bust

Boom Bust Boom was correct

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

still have not taken econ yet

pretty straight forward stuff though

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

if taken with a grain of salt

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