@wintermute_oregon Now that’s a completely different statement altogether.

@wintermute_oregon I was homeschooled, and read programming books instead. 🤷🏾♂️
If most people haven’t read something, criticizing them for not reading that thing is snobbish. I don’t care if it’s a document that defines the laws of our country.
@wintermute_oregon @jimbolauski Most conservatives haven’t read it either, myself included. Don’t be snobbish.
@simple @TheImpressiveX The #RottenTomatoes user score is mostly about how fun the movie is to watch, not how good it is
@zeppo @wintermute_oregon Nobody starves under #Capitalism, real #Capitalism hasn’t been tried
@breadsmasher @wintermute_oregon #Reuters themselves did say that the #DNC is expected to be “vibe-heavy, policy-light”, which could signal that #KamalaHarris’ policies, at least internally, are viewed more as a liability than an asset.
@zeppo I’d have to look more into what the impacts of such a policy would be but I certainly support cancelling those subsidies on principle.
@zeppo I completely agree with you here. We are not in a pure, Capitalist society. Right now, we are in what is known as a mixed market economy.
However, I would posit that we are closer to the free market model than a planned economy, and the farther away we move from the free market model, the closer we get to a planned economy. It doesn’t mean that we’re there already, but, in general, moving away from the free market model sets off red flags for those worried ending up in a planned economy.
@zeppo Would you agree that, generally, #Communism usually controls prices, and #Capitalism usually does not?
@zeppo Sigh…you’re going to argue that price controls aren’t characteristic of #Communism, aren’t you?
#Brittanica describes price controls as non-capitalistic:

@glimse 😂
Well, I’m on the #Mastodon end of the #Fediverse here, I do like to use hashtags when I use common nouns and such
@SatansMaggotyCumFart This is the smart play. Stick to the issues.
This might not stick though if #KamalHarris runs on #JoeBiden’s platform rather than her own though.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen Imagine a horse with two legs. Doesn’t mean that four legs are what makes a horse a horse. That’s a parts-to-whole fallacy.
@jimbolauski Did you think I was? 🤭
