Clearly people are willing to forego spending money on cruises, airlines, entertainment, etc in order to avoid getting sick but they aren't willing to forego expenditures in order to avoid causing CO2 emissions. I gave a series of lectures at a community college about solving climate change by drastically reducing expenditures and was politely received but no one was willing to implement it, especially women. The women like their spending! When i made similar suggestions here i was greeted with name calling (hater of humanity, denier of science, and Marxist). I didn't even know what a marxist was. The thing is, people are definitely not desperate enough to limit expenditures at this time (with their current level of knowledge) but they are willing to limit expenditures to avoid getting sick. It's a matter of priorities. Edited on 10-03-2020 18:38 |

Spending less, just leaves more money sitting around for others to steal, like the government. If I work hard 40 hrs/week, shouldn't I get some enjoyment out of my labor? What's the point in getting out of bed, early every morning, just to punch a time clock? My spending less, means somebody else is earning less. The economy, is money moving around. People buying, selling, building, producing, working. Sitting on money, spending less, stalls the economy, kills jobs and businesses. Spending less, isn't an option, if you have little to nothing to spend, because you lost your job, or business. 'Free Stuff', from your socialist government, can only be spread so thin. Somebody still has to be paying for all that 'free stuff', you enjoy, from spending less. It's not really, spend less, if someone else is expected to pay for you. It's like inviting your friends to diner at a nice restaurant, then handing the bill to one of those friends. What's the point of working all your life, spending less, just to sit on a mound of cash. You die, the government takes a good portion, even though you already paid taxes on it, as you earned. Vast majority of people who inherit a good deal of cash, don't just sit on it, and spend less. Quite of few of them would have been better off, had they never gotten that money. Spending less, is just being selfish and mean. |

Harvey, I made a mistake. Sorry. It was a different recent post where i disagreed with you a lot. That doesn't mean you're wrong. What you are totally wrong about though is what you said about "my socialist govt". That's just wacko.

They also do not conform to the Constitution of the United States. Examples are the EPA, the CPSC, the Federal Reserve, etc. They are essentially oligarchies that tell you what light bulb you can buy, what toilet you can install, what car you can drive, what fuel you can use, how much it costs to borrow money, what paint you can use, etc. This form of socialism is called 'fascism'. States too, have socialist departments that don't conform to their State constitutions as well. California has gotten so bad that I no longer consider it a State of the Union anymore. I call it the SOTC now (The Socialist Oligarchy of the Territory of California). Why do you think a lot of people sometimes spell 'California' as 'Kalifornia'? And the Democrats want more of it.

Businesses that don't sell as much stuff, because people are spending less, don't need as many employees. Those that lose their jobs, don't have enough to spend on things like food, water, shelter. Obviously, that's a survival problem, either they get what they need, free from the government, or the get it free, by stealing it. Either way, working people get ripped off, either through taxes, to pay for free stuff, or robbed less legally. |

Swan wrote:Well if you do not know who Marx was that does not mean that you are not a Marxist, now does it Correct. A Marxist is one who advocates for Marxist things, as defined in Karl Marx's writings, e.g. The Communist Manifesto, Das Kapital, others ... keepit believes that Climate Change (he doesn't have any idea what he means by that term) can nonetheless be reduced (whatever that means) by humans reducing their spending of money, i.e. by directly injuring the economy and dealing a direct blow to capitalism. keepit also believes that the printing of dollars does not increase the number of dollars for any dollars that are spent on paying off debt. If those printed dollars are spent on infrastructure or waging war, for example, then yes, of course they increase the number of dollars, but if they are used to pay off debt then I suppose they just disappear, or perhaps they were never real in the first place. In any event, there is no such thing as a coherent explanation from keepit ... so you might like his "theories." They're kind of "out there" if you know what I mean, right in your ball park so you might want to take advantage and join in the game. |

HarveyH55 wrote:Karl Marx was a philosopher. The democrat party is the creation of philosophy... As to the question "What's in a word?" ... I don't apply the word "philosopher" to anyone who is preaching HATE as a way to blame others for his own shortcomings. Philosophers seek to understand so as to build/create something better. Leftists, on the other hand, do NOT seek any understanding, do NOT wish to learn anything and are completely INTOLERANT of anything but their pre-established views ... as they angrily target something for destruction, something into which they believe they can transfer their own failures. Leftists are antithetical to philosophers. Karl Marx was a hater who believed that the rest of the world should work and bring to him whatever he needed/wanted without him having to work or exert any effort. He HATED happiness in others and developed his communism around depriving others of happiness. His final solution was to abolish the primary source of happiness, i.e. strong economy and free markets, for which he coined the slur "capitalism", and replace it all with the guaranteed misery of a tyrannical government that cracked the whip over all areas of people's personal lives. The saying "I'm not happy until you're not happy" was Karl Marx's driving motto that underscored everything he did or said. You'll notice that Leftists have no sense of humor for anything that isn't someone else's misery. . |

He took Satan's arguments and applied it to economies. Satan teaches compulsion, not choice. Both communism and fascism are about compulsion, not choice. Satan also taught hate. Communism, fascism, and slavery are all forms of socialism. All are theft. All bring misery. All are based on compulsion. Whether you believe in the Bible or not is immaterial.
