But what was it before? no salary at all
capitalism as its finest.
No, what we ave now is capitalism at it's finest, that was capitalism gone mad
history is one giant awfull bloodbath with some sparks of brilliance mixed into it
Yeah...
It's a miracle when you go outside and everything isn't on fire.
what we have now is not capitalism at its finest tho
but i agree that that is also the case back then
@samoja sure people can't afford ethically produced things now, but there was a certain period in time where the local produced things lost the market battle against the global produced things, and that was the time people usually talk about with fond memories because everything suddenly was very cheap
Well, finest when compared to all that came before it, and when i say now i should clarify i mean 5the last 30 odd years
certain things still are very cheap
but in the last 30 years, even longer samoja
look at the productivity vs wages
I know that, you don't need to tell me, labor is a comodity, just like any other, but people don't realize that.
well i wonder what changed in the 1970s for people suddenly to stop realizing that
im sure ive read it at some point but i cant remember
People want others to take care of them, they don't want to take responsibility for their own life, if your boss is underpaying you seek anothr job or get educated and change careers.
I mean the only reason that i get paid so well is because there is a chronic shortage of electric people
it was a concious decision i made
If you are selling your product to someone and they are not paying you enough to cover your expenses stop selling to that person.
ah i think i remember now what happened
the workforce suddenly doubled in a few years
supply/demand
All that is true, but Bannon put it like there are only the globalists to blame, where I say people know what they participate in, they just don't want to think about it. Same with the meat industry (at least here in europe).
Yea but whos moving the capital and production plants, its not the average person
and even then thats globalization right there
I mean i cant physically fix the problems that these people face.
And even then it becomes the question, are they better or worse off if they end up out of a job when all decide to not buy what they are producing anymore
Im digging in my memory here
But i recall that the chinese prior to all this happening, were making about 2$ a month.
the average tha tis
Were now looking at what? 40 years later or something?
And the last time i checked the average wage was up to 700$+ a month
People say its gonna collapse, i dont know im not really following it that closely
i do understand where u coming from tho

So I saw the interview Benjamin did with Bannon, and Bannon (roughly) said the average citizen is not responsible for the economic crisis in north Africa and the middle east.
But is that right? Aren't the people to blame for partaking in a predatory economic tactics that they benefit from?```
Can't Blame US for the bullshit going on in Africa....
Its mostly due to low IQ people there, that doesn't Think further than from 12 to lunch.
What we should forbid is long term help. If there is a desaster that destroyed the food, OK.
But helping for Decades is a nono
that caused the population explosion in Africa.
They have to help themselves, not we them.
I financially support 2 organizations there that focus on schools & internet
They probably think that the US has a moral duty to improve the rest of the world since they are the world hegemon
"White man's burden" essentially.
The problem is, you can't hold the electorate responsible for what the government does when you only have two realistic options and both are extremely polarized and operating on vague promises and fearmongering.
