Trump: "We're gonna have to send more weapons (to Ukraine)"

[acptulsa]

Class warfare is marxism.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

Our defense industry is merit based. Other countries compete with it and ours is simply greater.

This meaningless word salad doesn't change the fact that we pay more for all other countries' weapons than they do, not just Israel's.

We've been driven into tax slavery such as the colonies never endured to support the Zionist depopulation agenda

Moo.

 

[nikcers]

More meaningless word salad from the Cliché-O-Matic.

There's a mountain of evidence I can get a Pepsi for a nickel.

I can get a 64 ounce "Cola" for 1.00 at walmart.

That has been about the same price point for decades for me.

Certainly "pepsi" or "coca-cola" have become more valuable and they can demand a higher price but thats a good thing for our economy.

A lot of people like Pepsi and Coke so they can sell it for the price people are willing to pay for it.

nikcers you do fluctuate but it's only between being a socket wrench or a paint scaper.

More bullshit.

Decades ago, the two liters of name brands were a buck and the store brand crap was 69-79¢.

Moo, bitch. You can't convince anyone there's no inflation. And you know it. You're just trying to derail this thread from the fact that it's not the taxpayers of foreign countries (yes, -ies, artificial ignoramus) buying these weapons. We are.

Of course the store brand can demand a higher price because thats the price people are willing to pay the same concept works for them too.

If people are willing to pay a higher price for stuff then people will sell stuff for a higher price.

If people stop buying at a high price then they will sell it for a lower price. This is the power of the buyer. This is how tarrifs can lower prices.

... and go out of business.

They're printing the stuff in order to bankrupt small business, bankrupt citizens, and deliberately crash the economy, because then they can get away with "extreme measures".

And they're depopulating the earth in the process. Because they have to spend the money they print on something, and they're children who like things that go boom as much as you do.

And the fact that they created you and you follow their orders is why you'll never have a soul, bot.

If they blow up a bunch of money it doesn't devalue my money.

Its not about money its about sending a message. “I enjoy dynamite, gunpowder, gasoline. And y'know the thing that they have in common? They're cheap."

No, shithead, it adds value to the remaining currency.

What kind of bullshit is that? Moo when you see that happen in real life.

Bullshit generator.

There is no possible scenario where automation results in people being worse off economically. Only government intervention in the market can do that.

Reminds me of this:

Q: What's as big as a house, burns 20 liters of fuel every hour, puts out a shitload of smoke and noise, and cuts an apple into three pieces?
A: A Soviet machine made to cut apples into four pieces!


​

If there is a cost of automation, it won't be jobless people going without basic necessities. It will be laziness and the atrophying of people's bodies and minds as they delegate more and more tasks to machines.

Reminds me of this (great story, BTW - one of my favorites of "classic" science fiction):

FTA (links and footnote references omitted): Twilight (Campbell short story)

"Twilight" is a science fiction short story by American author John W. Campbell. It was originally published in 1934 in Astounding Stories and apparently inspired by H. G. Wells' article The Man of the Year Million. In 1970, it was selected as one of the best science fiction short stories published before the creation of the Nebula Awards by the Science Fiction Writers of America. As such, it was published in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume One, 1929–1964.

Set in 1932 in an unnamed small town in the Nevada, the narrator introduces Jim Bendell who recounts his experience with a strange and mysterious hitch-hiker claiming to be a time traveler from the year of 3059 who has traveled far into the future. In seven million years time, machines do everything for human beings, and people eventually lose touch with their human experience and regress both socially and intellectually as a species. They become apathetic, and the population dwindles toward extinction.

Only defensive patriot missile interceptor systems. Trump has been consistent in saying he wants the killing to stop.

And you're clinging to it because that's the only thing left that he has been consistent about so far

Its not the same policy under Trump.

Under Trump Europe is paying for their own defense.
