Its not an ideological statement, it is a comment on the structure of the organizations and how they have to work to survive. Corporations need to do things efficiently or they disappear, the reason large companies are able to be so inefficient is that they are propped up by the government. But the big corporations still have to be more efficient than the other giant companies or their business gets taken.

When it comes to the government they can have irrational requirements and ways of doing things, and since they allegedly are beholden only to the voters (who dont have a clue what is happening) then they can be as inefficient as they want. An example that is non monetary is how the police will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong, they only have an incentive to protect themselves and their own people.

I think this is a seperate issue when private corporations build and own roads. I dont know enough about that sort of thing, I was more referring to how the government hires out private companies to create infrastructure instead of having government employees do it.

I used to also, and I understand the issue, but the mega corps will still be more efficient than the government. This brings up the other issue of how the government funds all the tax dollars to large corporations and also props them up with regulatory protections.

Public employees are almost always not the highest quality and tend to be overpaid, why is it bad to have private companies do the work?

This is shallow, but here it is… When you are dating to marry look at the womans mother to see what her weight will probably be like after having kids. If her parents are big, she will probably be big.

Its a show of solidarity, there really is not an issue unless you are against people supporting each other in other symbols.

Cool, what part did I miss? Also Adam Smith died hundreds of years ago, so I am not sure why he would be the go to for this.

Yes exactly, those lobbyists exist because there is a huge amount of power to take so they can control us.

I think a big issue is that people call things that are not capitlatist “capitalist”. The US is called capitalist, but it has the largest government in the history of the world, that is not capitalism.

He is old and he had rough weekend, seems pretty expected. Seems quite irrelevant relative to everything else.

I understand what you are saying, but it is a fact that beyond basic safety and infrastructure, higher taxes equals less growth. Trickle down is not a thing and was never a thing, it was a propaganda term used to attack lower taxes. You can believe that we should have taxes for a variety of things (and I would agree) but the government just makes this less efficient by its strucutral nature.

The reason I am getting downvotes is because this place is full of people that are tribal and get mad when you disagree. I feel like I have a pretty good basis of knowledge for this; I worked for the government, I worked as a company that worked with the government, and now I am forced to follow their rules which literally makes my whole town worse and poorer.

I would disagree with this in that the rich and businesses dont just keep the money in a scrooge mcduck vault, they put it into a variety of things that is not direct consumption spending but is spending. I think there are too many variable to confidently say what would happen, but I dont think its a significant difference when it comes to inflation.

I am in favor of less taxes for everyone and thus less spending in the government. This goes to the idea of “trickle down” economics, which on a side note was never an actual thing. Less taxes are better on every level, but the question should be how much do we need for a functioning society.

I understand what you are saying, but it just reallocates the money to different organizations. I would say that tax cuts could be tending to more deflationary because it allows people to be more productive and create more products. Although I think it gets nuanced with how this all relates to the debt and bonds, but I would guess its all a wash with regards to inflation.

And I appreciate that you are not just another angry person that just wants to yell about trump and how me disagreeing with “experts” makes me a MAGA.

You dont want a conversation, you just want to yell at the wind. But I am just telling you the fact that cutting taxes doesnt slow the economy or fuel inflation. The “experts” claim things, and its up to us to refute those claims. If you wish to yell about how trump kicked you puppy I dont give a shit.

Cutting taxes doesnt slow the economy or fuel inflation.

That guy doesnt look like I expected. I was expecting a guy in a military suit, but he looks more like a librarian.

Its also cheap and can be handled by most people of all sizes. Its probably the best overall gun to own for most purposes.

If you dont understand what I am saying then dont spend half an hour writing a comment, just ask me instead.

Of course this is all surface level, its like under 100 words.

When the state started to get looted has been a long time, maybe since we got off the gold standard for good in 1971(?) or perhaps when the non elected officials started to run things and kill people. “AGAIN WITH YOUR CLAIMS!!!” Yeah I get it, there is a lot here and if you are interested there are lots of people that go into depth on each of these subjects.
