When I was younger and went through a phase of drinking a lot often, I used to drink 3/4 of a 30oz bottle of something like Vodka.

But it took me a few hours to go through that

I have a drinking buddy she's Russian I'm Scottish

there's definitely something in it

Isn't this factually incorrect? I've heard Sargon claim over and over again that wealth inequality has been dramatically on decline world wide because of Capitalism based on the book he read by Steven Pinker, right?

Yes, it's false.

There's more to it

>We have tens of thousands of people dying due to lack of access to proper healthcare
>hundreds of thousands of people dying due to lack of access to proper healthcare years ago

That doesn't apply in the UK

It's not entirely false, but it's the premises that's wrong.

Hmm

Yes, wealth inequality is the highest it's ever been. But that's saying the difference between a 1000 and 50000 is greater than the difference between 100 and 5000

Overall he's wrong but in the UK where Sargon is from we have Socialised Healthcare

tl;dr the wealth became more inequal simply because the rich got richer faster than the poor got richer. Everyone got richer, it's just the highest got it faster.

the US is a shithole, but it's the exception

sidenote - invest in gold and keep few gold bars in your posession - we're at hyperinflation race right now and dollar might just collapse within next 9 years

It's different here to the USA

@folk REEEEEEEEE!

it's the only western country where things regress

"Please don't let anyone prove me wrong!"

I'm actually curious what the idea behind investing in gold to avoid a monetary crash is.

the US is the most free country on earth, don't you remember that huge discussion we had the other day where someone told us his opinion and we all just accepted it as fact?

People who tweet that sort of thing normally haven't visited the UK

or left their State EVER

One can't just make gold out of thin air.

the US is free, and it's the only country that can be the world police

One also can't use gold for much of anything other than a luxury

but US citizens are worse off than the rest of the west, and their quality of life is in decline

it's easier to make money when you have some already to invest

they love strawmans

I mean, if you do have wealth, and you know that if you keep it in the form of currency it will lose value, what would you rather do with it?

i.e. much easier for rich people to become richer
