I mean if you could improve your nation's GDP by like 10% just by dressing in drag for a little while, wouldn't you do it?
What kind of argument is that
It's a weird hypothetical
wages haven't budged an inch next to cost of living, and corporations are buying their own stock in broad daylight
Who cares if they buy their own stock? Also wages are up for one of the first times in 12 years
Big deal.
Who cares?
American conservatives aren't super-capitalist
dunno where this shit is coming from
How is their buying their own stocks not capitalist?

do you understand how stocks work?
brainlet?
a company that buys its own stock creates an artificial inflation in that stock's price. its invented fucking wealth, and its happened before
This is even the new york times
They're allocating their own scarce resources how they see fit.
Property rights, dimwit.
If it's real money buying their own stocks, then it'
s real money
allocating your own resources is fine
Like, steve jobs can buy stocks from his own company, or Jezz Bezos or whatever, and it's not really damaging
people being stupid on the stock market is, well, stupid
you can't directly fix stupid
Also, it benefits the companies, as they're able to then retain more earnings, perhaps later investing in research to cure the next disease your grandmother contracts. Who knows? That's none of your business what they do with it, anyway.
no matter what idiots like Plato and Marx say
I'm not really concerned about a few businesses buying their own stocks and it's not really a problem,but nayways, things are generally improving
As far as culture goes, thankfully we have someone who is not a far-left ideologue in power, such as Trump, which should also help with that
more and more people are waking up to this stuff
Trump is an 80s Democrat
Hollywood's shitty movies are backfiring, working against the left-wing narrative
he's pretty centrist
no-one likes star wars anymore
Like, people are realizing how SJW stuff ruins everything
it's like advertising that you are the bad guy, it's backfiring
sort of
Normies are starting to wise up the cultural problems generated by the far left
essentially
but dont get delusions of grandeur
So culture is improving as well
it isn't improving *that* much
I mean we are still going to be in this for the long haul, but things are generally improving
