The average person on CE has never read a single economics book in their life, and it definitely shows.

I blindly shilled for Bernie Sanders years ago strictly based on social wedge issues. Guys like Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman put some common sense into me and made it easy for me to comprehend the ridiculousness of Breadline Bernies mathematically illiterate policies.


Lol'd at "Breadline Bernie"

Yeah he's got some really insane views. I like him because he is right about needing to change how we do healthcare and I value the size of his investment into fighting climate change since the climate crisis is my #1 issue.

The next response will be "but if communism is so great it should be able to withstand being shunned from participation in the global economy"

Edit: oh there it is

Someone is probably going to point out how fucking disastrous communism is

Edit: lol there it is!

This doesn't actually follow at all from what I said

Anti-nuclear energy old white socialists like Bernie and Warren are the left-wing equivalent of climate change is fake right-wingers.


I'm not anti nuclear, but solar and wind are much cheaper to install and can be installed much more quickly than nuclear. There are also many benefits to decentralization of energy production, which you don't really get from nuclear reactions.

More resiliency, easier to upgrade piecemeal as tech improves, easier for communities to manage the energy for quality rather than profit (similar to community-run internet), etc.

More nuclear would be nice but it takes a long time to build and has to be managed by a central authority.

TC, please tell us what you do in finance specifically.
@The_Admiral
I work in financial planning (read: wealth management) for HNWIs, doing market research and a data modelling. even though I do grub work (it's what I like, but its still grub work), I hear stories all the time from upper management about how these rich fucks are basically clueless morons who inherited massive amounts of wealth and go to companies like us to reassure them and give them good returns (most of the industry don't even beat normal mutual funds when you average over a period of years, but w/e, puts food on my table). I don't deal with it much now since I'm at the bottom of the totem pole, but once I reach a point where I regularly have to have face-to-face client exposure I am not sure I'll be able to take it.

I do somewhat regret switching my major to finance and going into wealth management though. My prospect has always been to help those who were abused by this system by teaching them how to get by (401ks, business advice, budgeting, etc, that's why I went into financial planning) but its literally nothing but trust fund work.

@muchdran billionaires didn't create the concept of stores nor are they the ones with the best stores. they literally got lucky enough and amassed enough wealth/power to constrict their competition until they shriveled and lost their market share.

and BTW, most billionaires aren't even "innovatitors" like elon musk, jeff bezos or bill gates. they inherit their wealth.
I know it's so easy to do that's why I hate them.

here's a list:

1. Be white
2. Be born into a privileged high class family
3. Have married, well-educated parents, preferably both with HYP degrees w/ legacies at those schools.
4. Have them finance whatever ideas you have in your head, doesn't matter if they fail, they have enough money to try again. OR get a job at your rich relative/friend's company raking in millions until you have the right amount of connections and enough luck to capitalize on a big success.

alternately, you can just be born as a Walton, Disney, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, etc. and live a life of luxury.
