| averagejoel 04/03/21 12:05:32 AM #36 | Damn_Underscore posted... These are both terrible opinions. One hating on MJ, the other hating on Sinatra.dude, I'm a professional jazz musician. there were a couple albums of his that I listened to obsessively throughout high school. I know every note of every part in every song on Sinatra at the Sands. I guarantee I've spent more time listening to him than pretty much anyone on this board. (if you count only active listening, then I'm 100% positive) he was a good singer. most of his music is corny as fuck and not good --- peanut butter and dick |

He's a general contractor and does product reviews for construction stuff on youtube.last I checked, that is not a prerequisite for being a landlord. the position itself is not a job. Maybe in your world all landlords are mustache twirling scumbags who do nohting but sit around all day in their mansions while demanding rent from out of work single mothers, but that is not in line with reality.cool. please try engaging with the actual things I said instead of making stuff up --- peanut butter and dick |

| averagejoel 04/02/21 1:40:31 AM #31 | it's because housing is treated as an investment that landlords are able to exist in the first place. the system is set up to benefit them 99% of the time. now as soon as they're seeing other possible consequences, they whine about it. they just want to have their cake and eat t too. it's bullshit --- peanut butter and dick |

Wealth isnt and never will be a fixed pie, an Indian person living in India getting a job in India wasnt at the expense of an American citizen living in the United States. An immigrant on a work visa in the United States didnt get a job at the expense of an American. A billionaire generating higher wealth internationally through globalization by producing and creating billions of services and jobs for the planet didnt come at the expense of a deadbeat twenty-something year old kid living in their parents basement reading crap off of Jacobin or RT that doesnt do shit with their lives.no one claimed that it was a "fixed pie", but it's still not infinite --- peanut butter and dick |

| Topic | Give me one reason why society needs "billionaires" |
| averagejoel 03/29/21 2:04:48 PM #51 | polopili posted... Wealth is produced by creating intellectual and physical goods that fullfeed a need (extra needs can always be created through marketing). Physical goods are limited by the volume of ressources we can extract from the planet. Since intellectual goods mostly require time and brainpower we could consider it the to be infinite source of wealth. But then again most of the population is not very smart, there's probably cap on the need for intellectual goods.I'm not sure what you're counting as an "intellectual good" here, but time and brainpower are also finite resources --- peanut butter and dick |

There are more people earning higher incomes today and significantly far less people in extreme poverty conditions than there were in times past. People considered to be in poverty today in the United States are living better and richer than the wealthiest monarchs of ages ago lol.your first point is tenuous and your second point is flat-out incorrect. but even if both of them were 100% accurate, that still would not contradict the idea that wealth is finite. money is based on control or ownership of resources. the amount of resources that we have on earth is finite. so unless you're talking exclusively about numbers on a screen, that wealth is finite as well --- peanut butter and dick |
