I'm trying to learn where I went wrong the last time around so I don't make the same mistakes this time with my new fiance. Clearly I need to work on my sandwiches.

A lady never shares.  Actually, I really don't because I was a victim of... I won't call it revenge porn, because I was fully clothed, but it was a provocative pose. My ex posted it online in a forum he was a member of (back when we were engaged for the first time) and I found out and left him for a while over it. So I really don't share now. Suffice to say I've been told I'm pretty enough.

The United States has such a large military because the threats are many. The fact that you don't recognize them is a good indication that this "ballooned" military force is doing exactly what it has been precision designed for. Russia, China, Iran, terrorism, uncontrolled illegal immigration, not to mention the multiple nuclear threats. Start cutting the military, and you'd better brush up on your Mandarin.

 

I won't defend Holmes, but neither will I condemn her just yet. Giver her her day in court, and let's see what the facts find. So far what I've seen is left-wing hit jobs disguised as documentaries. Imagine if she had succeeded though. The wealth she would have created, the jobs she would have created, it would have been fantastic. If you want to help the world become a better place, become wealthy. When you act economically in your own interest, you create opportunity in your wake.

 

In any case, you're conflating my points. My college dropout example was to show that wealth creates more wealth, completely decoupled from education. There are many, many highly educated liberal arts graduates who are on the dole, taking money from my wallet. Likely the vast majority of them were handed everything, and if only they'd been made to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" it would have turned out much differently.

Admitting failure is the first step to redemption. 😉

 

 

Wealth does not create wealth. Labor creates wealth. Wealth can only create more wealth in the form of usury which is wicked and seen as anti-human in all major global religions. You think US military is so big because it has to defend itself against uncontrolled immigration and not for pointless middle east wars? Trump wanted to use the military to defend the southern border against uncontrolled immigration and the US Secretary of Defense at that time James Mattis, shut Trump down by saying focusing military on the border will reduce combat effectiveness for a potential regime change war against Syria and Iran! It is clearly evident what the US military's focus is on and it is not postured against China or even Russia. It is for having wasteful regime change wars for dubious so called 'allies' costing trillions in the middle east and fueling the military industrial complex. As for the case against Elizabeth Holmes, she is a blatant liar peddling science fiction. It was scientifically impossible for many of the tests to be carried out based on the statements she made. I have background in the medical field. It is scientifically impossible to conduct fasting and normal blood glucose level tests in one go as she claimed her machine was able to do cuz the very nature of the test requires you to give your blood sample twice! First when you have faster for 12 hours and the second sample a few hours you have had a meal .

I don't think paraphrasing Karl Marx is going to win you any points here. And let's not forget, the system you're advocating has been a complete failure. Capitalism was the clear winner.

 

Look. If labour created wealth, the immigrants picking lettuce and artichokes in the Salinas Valley would be the wealthiest people on earth. But do you know why those (mostly illegal, but I digress) immigrants are employed at all? Because of a wealthy corporation run by wealthy people backed by wealthy shareholders. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. Creating wealth is my business. I've even been asked to write a book on the topic, and as flattered as I was (twice), I'd rather just keep my head down and do my thing.

You learned this all from perusing the facts of the case, did you? No, of course not. You learned this from some left-wing propaganda disguised as documentary. But look, as I said, I'm perfectly happy to condemn Ms. Holmes once she's had her day in court and been found guilty. Until then, I'm not going to smear her just because the liberal media insist on it. Oh, and if she's found innocent, I hope you'll have the fortitude to post a retraction here.

If labor creates wealth, why are ditch diggers not fabulously wealthy? 

 

You appear to equate employment with usery, the wealthy making money off the fruits of another's labor, usery is a monetary concept, not a relationship between employer and employee.

 

Do you honestly believe your generation is abused? You have had your burden reduced, competition is bad, education to the lowest common denominator, participation trophy's etc... How soft a pillow do you need placed for you? You ridiculed someone for the bootstrap methodology, I always saw self reliance as a positive attribute, not limiter.

Labor includes everything from ditch digging to engineering and innovation. The Germans have no natural resources and they don't get their money from banking. They get their wealth through German labor, engineering, innovation and work ethic. They are the only country with a surplus economy.  I am not saying businesses making a profit or hiring laborers and benefiting from their labor is usury. Usury is compound interest on debt. How is the burden of the current generation reduced? Unskilled labor force is huge compared to baby boomer generation, Higher college fees, Higher price of housing, outsourced high income IT jobs, No manufacturing jobs left, all shipped to China. By every metric of measure the baby boomer had an easier jobs, housing and growth market than the millennials of today. Just because millennials get a fancy participation trophy that baby boomers did not get or a pat in the back or good boy points doesn't mean it equates to any real wealth benefit in the real world.

Also if you research more into the phrase 'to pull yourself up by the bootstraps' it shows that the phrase was used to convey that someone is doing something that is not beneficial to them. Meaning they are doing an act in futility. For example: "Stop trying to pull yourself up by the bootstraps, you are not moving anywhere" The misuse of this phrase also is indicative of the mindless parroting of meaningless phrases that the boomer generation like to  indulge themselves in. It is surreal. Watch this video on the explanation of the phrase for further clarity.

😂 Have you completely lost your mind? You cannot possibly be serious. German banks account for over 40% of all assets in the world.

 

I don't know where you've been schooled, but you should seriously look into their accreditation.

Ok, proudly wear your victim hood as a badge of honor. I need to take my privilidged sell and find a young person to abuse and ruin their life

 

Get a non-victim phrasebook, it means to improve oneself through one's own efforts

Was "Cracked" on the official list of acceptable sources at your university? Well it's no wonder your Germanic economic theory education is lacking.

 

But in the interests of dialog... I couldn't care less what the etymology of the phrase is. You used it in a completely different context first, and I went along with it as a matter of course.

Nobody is labeling anyone as a victim or an abuser. Simply stating facts that the boomer generation had it easier is enough to send you into mental gymnastics to explain why it has always been the same playing field for all generations when it is simply not the case.

Main industry contributing to german GDP is not banking. It is german manufacturing.

Is this aimed at me? I'm the last person on earth to claim victim-hood. I am a victim only of my own success. I am the very opposite of a victim, and I proudly wear the "non-victim" mantle.

Truth is the truth no matter where it comes from. The context I used the phrase in was a boomer joke and the context has remained the same on my side.

You're moving the goal posts. 😂

 

I didn't say Germany had no industry outside of banking. YOU said Germany "don't get their money from banking." You're not arguing in good faith, mate.

 

It's a shame. I keep looking for an honest lefty, but I can't seem to find one.

German banks rank in terms of assets 16th in the world.  German banks do not account for more than 40% of all assets in the world. Seems like you did a low effort boomer google search to refute my point. The 40% statistic you pulled out refers to the share of private sector banking within Germany.
