So minimum wage etc are fucked than they were in the past and raising that will fuck it up even more

2017-10-21 17:11:52 UTC  

god damn

2017-10-21 17:12:06 UTC  

wages only go up if people complain enough.

2017-10-21 17:12:20 UTC  

The only problem is raising wages is another bit of problems

2017-10-21 17:12:25 UTC  

But here's the thing ... this is a family based economy, not an individualist economy.

2017-10-21 17:12:26 UTC  

With inflation

2017-10-21 17:12:30 UTC  

Economics is never simple

2017-10-21 17:12:33 UTC  

The economy expects you to get your shit together.

2017-10-21 17:12:39 UTC  

Fiat currency isn't an issue

2017-10-21 17:12:40 UTC  

IE: Get married, have kids.

2017-10-21 17:12:54 UTC  

The problem is it's not viable to do that for many people

2017-10-21 17:12:55 UTC  

Fiat is the reason why we had so much innovation in the 20th century

2017-10-21 17:12:57 UTC  

But too many people are not doing this, or progessing to greater things.

2017-10-21 17:13:09 UTC  

that's 20th

2017-10-21 17:13:09 UTC  

It's a choice NOT to do it.

2017-10-21 17:13:13 UTC  

this is 21st le current year

2017-10-21 17:13:15 UTC  

We don't need a minimum wage

2017-10-21 17:13:44 UTC  

"Min. wage is the most anti negro law out there." Friedman.

2017-10-21 17:13:48 UTC  

The problem isn't that we don't have a gold backed currency, it's that the guys who control are profit driven

2017-10-21 17:14:01 UTC  

At least in America

2017-10-21 17:14:05 UTC  

well that's natural, people want to make a profit

2017-10-21 17:14:21 UTC  

civil servant for a government as it is is a paradox

2017-10-21 17:14:29 UTC  

Damn this is crazy

2017-10-21 17:14:30 UTC  

At the end of WWII, the U.S. had 75% of the world's monetary gold,

2017-10-21 17:14:32 UTC  

daddy give me your cummies

2017-10-21 17:14:47 UTC  

@the_mrrob The reason the US was a superpower was due to WW2

2017-10-21 17:14:49 UTC  

and the cold war

2017-10-21 17:14:56 UTC  

Now US will fall of the map

2017-10-21 17:15:03 UTC  

Ya

2017-10-21 17:15:07 UTC  

Good times make weak men and then the hard times come

2017-10-21 17:15:31 UTC  

europe is garbage always infighting each other

2017-10-21 17:15:41 UTC  

which makes the "hard" men but evidentally enough they've cushioned it so much to the point were that pool is small

2017-10-21 17:15:44 UTC  

then germany taking over again

2017-10-21 17:15:52 UTC  

Singapore has the best economy

2017-10-21 17:17:03 UTC  

Its very free market

2017-10-21 17:17:07 UTC  

One of the highest

2017-10-21 17:17:37 UTC  

Corporate tax rate is only 17%

2017-10-21 17:18:32 UTC  

And it's mostly services

2017-10-21 17:18:52 UTC  

So they don't have to rely on a limited supply of raw resources

2017-10-21 17:19:05 UTC  

It's extremely good

2017-10-21 17:20:42 UTC  

Why do people debate so much on which econmic system is the best when we have such good examples
