Capitalism requires a stable currency, backed by government. We can't go back to bartering in the modern economy
that's false
hm
I'm running a sentiment analysis on this chat right now
stable currency is a creation OF capitalism to increase fungibility and liquidity
seems the issue is becoming contentious
Capitalism above all requires private property. For it to work, you need the state to enforce property rights
maybe we can change topic
I wish I was able to make it to DR

How bout that sportsball game?
@TMatthews Well, ultimately I can't prove whether it does or doesn't work in your experience because I wasn't there. Obviously if you think it's working if you, then there's nothing I can do to stop you. I'll just say that there are very many people who know what that words means, and it's going to sounds stupid to them to just make up definitions.
That's all, it's probably not productive to discuss further than this.
yeah, what sports are going on now, just foot ball right?
oh yeah hockey too
some local IE people we're thinking of attending an Islanders game
we recently went to the opera
and did a walking tour of some historical sights in nyc
@Vilhjalmyr "45% of California is owned by the Federal Government, from National Parks to Wilderness Refuge etc.
They act as an absentee landlord, implementing a top-down approach to ecosystem management, which is why past harvesting methods proved unsustainable and harmful to connecting ecosystems.
" That's really interesting to know! In his tweet Trump seems to blame the CA government, but you say it's a federal issue. Is it Trump mismanaging the forests there or some government beauraucracy?
I actually do like hockey
@Nerv - VA yeah it's nice, an IE bud and I went to a pregame this year, he explained me the rules. The offsides thing always confused me before, but now it's a pretty cool game.
@ThisIsChris CA used up all their fed funding on unscrupulous bullshit, so they criminally mismanaged in order to have fires worth declaring emergency over, which kicks in more funding. that's their "workaround" to fed funding canceled over sanctuary cities
@ThisIsChris nice 👍
@Gumbo - AZ that's huge if true, do you have a source that is the motivation? Setting large swaths of your own state on fire to get gibs you lost because you became a sanctuary state is huge and insane.
@Nerv - VA do you have a team you watch?
i didn't say they set it on fire, but they rolled back ENORMOUS funding for the programs that managed environment conditions leading to fires
that's why trump called them out, because they wasted the money they were supposed to use protecting those lands. i agree with what he said above
@ThisIsChris penguins, I watch caps too sometimes
no kidding, got connections to pittsburgh?
That’s where I’m from
I moved to Va after HS
They also use it to push the global warming chorus
@Gumbo - AZ it's actually mostly red districts that were on fire
i smell some "broward county 2.0" here
*are
absolutely
@ThisIsChris I grew up in Wexford, North Allegheny.
and you will see voter fraud there soon as well
do you know why 9 people died so far in the fire?
traffic jams
the fire caught people in the traffic jams
and burned their cars
