Piketty is a fool. End central banking and lender of last resort. That is it. There will still be a natural order of poor and rich just like every other natural system but it will not be as extreme and it will not reward the wrong people

So tired of all this living wage crap. Hopefully you are just young idealogues. Sorry but working at McDonald's, Walmart, Disney World, or instacart were never meant to pay a living wage. They are unskilled positions meant for young workers entering the workforce to gain skills and experience or other workers to make extra money. And they don't have to exist at all. Someone think of a way to create extra money for people and all of the sudden it must support a living wage! Stop repeating platitudes ad nauseum. You are not as smart as you think you are. Why should picking up someone's groceries and bringing to their house justify a living wage as you call it?

Probably the best answer. Gold is portable wealth outside the system though you want to take it to a better system.

I made my point. I said you had no first hand knowledge, which you don't, you just repeat what you want to hear. I was not ambiguous. Then you say you could be wrong but then throw a temper tantrum about being accused of being wrong doing to me the very thing you say I shouldn't do.
And embarrassed is absolutely appropriate. You aren't arguing something trivial like is Casper is just a glorified drop ship operation. You decided to say the best country in the world had its course forever altered by Russian misinfornation. Do you have an uncle in the gru we don't know about?
Then you say we don't do put downs here while endlessly trying to put me down.
People like you should be called out for peddling the actual misinformation.
Have a good weekend, don't be so sensitive

You should be embarrassed by this comment. What metric are you using to say it's really effective. Please tell me what first hand analysis you have other than being told what you want to hear and using that to justify your position. It's almost like you are a victim of... wait for it....misinformation
It's funny watching people always accuse the other side of being uneducated.

Such a stupid comment. No one is owed a job and employment is voluntary. Just because you don't like something and are jealous doesn't make it unethical. You fail to grasp that 10, 20, 100 years ago those jobs didn't even exist, but they are somehow sacred? This community really needs to grow up
