Santa's... er, Satan's Sinfully Wholesome Political Memes

So, you’re just mad cuz he’s smarter than you. Got it.

Why ask me questions if you’re just going to put words in my mouth?

According to Joe McCarthy, Tucker Carlson et al, and OAN, sure.
But you wanted us to embrace Scandanavian socialism at some point, so you are able to draw a distinction between socialism and socialism.

Mistah we could use a maaan like Hoibert Hoovah agaaaaaain!!

Simpsons did it.

Possibly the wisest words the Doctor has ever spoken.

Always worth a reminder that our economic systems are setup by design to have a degree of unemployment, and it's considered bad for business (and subsequently policymakers) if unemployment gets too low.

Yay, you are reading on a @Federal Farmer level. I am looking at the tweet and I see the word poverty but not unemployment. The term you are looking for is structural unemployment. In what Nina said SU is not going to be a contributing factor to poverty in a decent system. There does not have to be a descent into poverty because you chose to switch jobs or careers.

You should stick to arguing with people more your speed like FF or UA.

That was pretty fucking sad you knee jerked so hard to fight for the Biden Doctrine that you fabricated a bullshit point.

Also worth reminding you that the US is not the world.

The same pressures to keep a degree of unemployment are the same ones that want there to be a level of poverty, because it makes people more willing to accept shit conditions.

Unemployment is just the example where they say it openly out loud.

Wow, you belittle Nina's statement, pretend to come up with a counter point, then when called on it you pivot and agree with it.

Nina is still not wrong, and she is pointing out exactly what you just tried to say. You wonder why I start talking trash to intellectually dishonest knee jerk reactionaries.

Unemployment does not equal poverty. You tried in your original response to imply Nina was wrong because unemployment was poverty. The word unemployment was not stated in the tweet.

I did no such thing. I was agreeing with the post and providing another example of the ways that the inequalities in our societies are by design.

Ben Stein screaming down Peter Schiff warning of the 09 recession.
Nuff said.

Same reason you put words in other people's mouths - laziness. When you stop putting words in other people's mouths - not just other posters, but politicians and economists as well, I'll start responding more seriously. Or, maybe you'll be too knowledgeable for me and I'll just ignore you since you put more thought in your posts than I will. Until that time, though, you get out what you put in.

Enter the birth of the middle class.

When you have unemployment, employers control the wages.
When everyone is employed, employees control wages.

That's a spicy meat-a-ball!
