THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Speaker to Animals]

Truthfully, it's boring responding to ridiculous neocon talking points that we all have heard on television for the past twenty years. Yeah, I get it. I have heard it over and over. Maybe go learn economics and get back to me.

You guys are asking how rigging the system is going to affect an already rigged system??

How can you answer that question? There are no independent variables.

As a federally licensed importer, I'm certain I know more than some keyboard warrior such as yourself.

[Speaker to Animals]

Please. I was talking about DB, who's knowledge of economics literally begins and ends with a single Thomas Sowell partisan book. He didn't even know the difference between macro and micro demand curves.

I never said you couldn't argue in support of suicidal trade deals. I said I grow tired of arguing against Fox News talking points. If your idea of economic sophistication is what I would hear on Sean Hannity, then you are wasting my fucking time. No thanks.

I’ve learned enough economics to understand that tethering domestic production to artificially inflated commodity prices (driven by tariffs) results in higher costs and lower demand. Lower demand leads to fewer workers being necessary to fill production quotas.

If that’s “neocon” voodoo I’s sure like to hear the erudite explanation on how artificial price inflation is actually going to lead to higher demand. Please teach me that trick, so I can jack prices to infinity while demand follows it ever upward. Throw us proletariat a crumb of knowledge, Obi-Wan.

I am certain it will benefit the riggers.

Though it does appear that we have got some of the riggers at odds with some of the other riggers, so there might be a way to benefit from a "balance of the rigging powers" system.

/yawn

You don't know anything about economics that Sowell doesn't want you to know about. You are basically a Fox News junkie at this point when it comes to economics.

Boring.

Sounds Riggerdly

StA lies about my confusing macro and micro economics. And the more he posts, the more I’m inclined to believe he doesn’t have a minor in economics at all. Who else can drag a simple discussion out this long with nothing but repeated attacks on my assertions, and regurgitating Wikipedia knowledge on different schools of economics?

Let’s be real - StA thinks basic economic principles are “neocon” voodoo. He thinks (as a supposed economics minor) that tariffs and protectionism is going to reignite American manufacturing. He can’t even explain how tariffs benefit an economy, which should be fairly simple for someone claiming a superior education.

I submit that StA has demonstrated *less* than one 689 page book of economic knowledge. I predict his trend of non-answers and baseless attacks will continue though, because if he had any actual economic wisdom to share surely we would have heard it by now.

I don't lie. Somebody was talking about the effect of these trade deals on the economy (offshoring of manufacturing, lower prices, less jobs, destroyed middle class), and you proceeded to reply to him with some sarcastic nonsense using micro-demand curves as an example.

You are operating at the Fox News level, and some of us actually studied these things in university (not an agricultural university either).

In any case, I guess we will find out if Sowell is right! Tariffs are back baby! LOL
