That… was not what I expected to follow that chain of words.

Watch this. I’m a republican.

I agree with you kind soul. Some days this place seems like a toxic cesspool. You better not have a viewpoint that is even barely contrary to the this general populace’s.

i hate you

hell yes we are

i still blame everything on obama, especially if he had no part in it at all.

lol careful. you thought a CEO was heartless, just wait until we put an AI in charge with the ‘goal’ set as profit.

If I’m being honest, I don’t understand this angle. Why are stock buybacks immoral or wrong? Isn’t it simply using extra cash in a company to buy back stock from shareholders? With the same demand and reduced total stock, of course the price is going to go up. But the total market capitalization remains the same. I don’t understand why this is somehow wrong. Can someone help me out?

So, I was curious. I looked up what percentage of the Forbes 400 is ‘self-made’ and it turns out to be about 60%. If measuring as coming from a middle-class background with no inheritance of the wealth.

The worker can walk away at any time to another job, can even change entire industries.

Y’all just in here doing good work, absolutely wrecking these guys.

How dare you make fiscally responsible investments and expect some return in exchange for the risk you’re taking on by letting others use your stuff. How. Dare. You. /s

ngl, I’ll be pretty happy to slack off for the same results. /s

CCP began to implement the collective ownership of expropriated land through the creation of Agricultural Production Cooperatives, transferring property rights of the seized land to the Chinese state.

and then it seems that the government came in to scoop it back up, although that may have been better than what was going on in 1950s China.

Just curious about your perspective. What would you think are some good ideas on changing the status quo?

I think that outlawing real estate as investments would mean that high to medium density living spaces like apartment complexes or high rises in cities don’t get built, and allowing the government to dole out who gets what properties is another recipe for disaster.

Please don’t take this as confrontational, I’m genuinely trying to consider what alternatives some people are thinking about.
