@mott-the-hoople saidThey have fallen in with the parsing of threads by Marauder, resulting in total confusion,
Im surrounded by idiots
I just asked Sonhouse how he handles the awkward situation of referring to a woman’s being in her belly to be a fetus. Do you think that there is any chance that he will answer me as an adult, or will he started ranting about Trump?? He is against a wall , as is Wildgrass on another thread, I just hate it for them.
I wish they would endeavor to get me up against the wall.

@wildgrass saidA perfect example as to why I despise capitalism. The US government should not be loaning companies money.
Without resorting to whataboutism, it is not legally logical that the government is allowed by judges to forgive hundreds of billions in loans for small businesses, but not $30 billion loans for student debt.
Rationale: Major questions.
Ya know, there is a reason why the banks would not lend $$$$ to those companies.

@athousandyoung saidPart of the reason might be that goobermint loaning money is not capitalism, some people might like to call it 'state capitalism'. All that adding the word 'state' does is clarify that capitalism is not the subject.

@athousandyoung saidYup. Free Market is the way to go.

How about when Obama bailed out all those Wall street banks for many $$$Billions?
Or when Fanny Mae lost $$$Billions by making home loans to people who could not get a conventional loan?
With governments backing businesses or going into business is allowed, corruption will always sneak in.

Earl can speak for himself.
@earl-of-trumps saidEarl, great to see the freedom stuff, not sure where you're at with the subject of economics, an excellent intro is a collection of essays by Ayn Rand (watch the cry babies getting triggered), called 'Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal' The opening essay is "What is Capitalism" then an exploration and explanation of that, so much of what she addresses those 50-60 years a go are the same tired old red herrings we see recycled post after post right here, to this day.

Arm yourself with some Rand.
ATY is being a pussy* little bytch, must be on the rag.

@earl-of-trumps saidEven worse, since the entire banking industry is also dependent on government cheese.
