I've already complained about RG to the Department of Wealth Redistribution.

His future has been redirected.

I’m glad that we had this discussion
It’s important for all of us so that we can come to an agreement that capitalism at its purist will filter all of the wealth an opportunity to a smaller and smaller group of people and the only way around that is through wealth redistribution and entitlement programs that favor the underprivileged

It’s conversations like this that give me honor for the future and pride that the erbb is leading our way there

I am 100% down with progressive taxation. Sadly, it's been going the other way for the last few decades.

The pandemic nearly distroyed capitalism. Government handouts are not the answer.

Capitalism is what happens when people are left alone.

He thinks of black people and ascribes to them a whole host of really negative stereotypes, attributes, behaviors.

erbb Strawman alert,

I'm sorry to say this but it's true.

The capitalists are doing fine.

I don't get how you don't get this.

So be one.

Maybe the machinery is expensive and requires retrofitting and/or changing the flow of the kitchen, so for the moment it's cheaper to keep paying people. We already have order kiosks at McDs and those are becoming more common. There are vending machine/kiosks that make espresso machines and even burgers. Japan is light years ahead with all of this stuff. We simply don't need people to handle simple transactions and basic tasks. With newer locations you will start to see more and more of this kind of stuff.

Japan has a low min wage so this example doesn't seem to bolster your argument that increased min wages drive automation.

Comparing our country to Japan n any way is a waste of time.

First of all, Japan is full of Japanese people. Completely different culturally than we are.

There is near zero ”diversity“ in Japan no matter how you define it.

Japan has essentially no military - therefore no military budget concerns and no military tech secrets.

Japan is an island nation with a total population of two Californias.

Ok. Grape brought up Japan so I was just responding. Thanks for letting me know that Japan is an island though.

Congrats on continuing to miss the point. My point is that the technology is here and continuing to improve, it's really just a matter of affordability and how the machinery fits into the production chain.

Japan has a low birth rate and strict immigration laws, which would easily explain why they are short on labor, which would lead to more reliance on vending machines. If anything, those factors make the market price of labor even higher than the minimum, making machines more affordable. Thanks for making my point for me!

Capitalism is like a game where you win by making other people better off.

Whut?

Well, I was responding to both of you. Grape brought up japan to prove a point. You used what he said to prove the opposite point.

My point is that Grape’s point is neither proven nor disproven.

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

Capitalism is like a game where you win by making other people better off.

And you get something in return. And it’s all through voluntary transactions.

This feels pointless.

That’s the point.

It’s really weird here. I thought the liberal/leftist mindset would celebrate a guy who was dealt some shitty hands in life but made something of himself. I thought the leftist mindset was to cheer on the “little guy”. I am that little guy they claim to be so compassionate about yet when I tell my story I get nothing but hate.

This is as cliché as your response to “TEDtard”. Why not speak honestly? What have you got to lose?

Can you give an honest critique of the OP video?
