    I’d argue that you’re the one living in some sort of Rand-esque lala-land.

    I mean, it almost sounds like you believe yourself to be some sort of benevolent economic Ubermensch or something. It’s quite jarring.

      Because I shared a couple of facts that are in common with leading economics experts, and pointed out how empty the logic of other things were?

      Talk about having low standards.

        Those same “economic experts” that, again, perpetuate the late stage capitalism bullshit we apparently can’t do without, because reasons?

        Yeah, I bet you agree with those. No doubt.

        Do you have a single original thought in your head, or is it all just demented talking points?

          This is so, so funny, in a thread about the ever-nebulous “living wage”, lmao

            You think people living on the brink of starvation are funny?

            I guess that tracks with your view of the world.

              Do you have a genuine reading comprehension impairment?

              What I found funny was, obviously, the irony of the unoriginal and mindlessly parroted “living wage” talking point being the place where someone accuses me of not having original thoughts.

                What I find funny is you trying to defend an indefensible point of view with nothing but stubbornness and bad semantics.

                We all know what you think by now, it’s glaringly obvious. I simply refuse to even acknowledge your demented talking points because they lead to endless monologue about how it’s impossible to fix shit because reasons. Not even valid reasons either, but bad faith bullshit that a child can see through at this point.

                You have to understand that nobody gives a shit about you licking the boots of rich assholes. I refuse to believe you’re dumb enough to think otherwise.

                But hey, I’ve been wrong before.

                  you trying to defend an indefensible point of view

                  The fact that “living wage” has yet to be defined by its proponents in a meaningful and concrete way, such that it could realistically even be proposed as a policy, is not even a “point of view”. That’s just a fact.

                  I simply refuse to even acknowledge your demented talking points because

                  Please, we both know the real reason. If what I was saying was so clearly false, you’d expose its fallacy instead of making these ridiculous excuses.

                  You have to understand that nobody gives a shit about you licking the boots of rich assholes.

                  Stating facts isn’t bootlicking, no matter how much you pretend it is.

                  But hey, I’ve been wrong before.

                  It’s seeming more and more like it’s an especially fond hobby of yours.

                    I did already tell you that’s not my aim here. I live somewhere with those concrete policies already, so it can’t be impossible. I simply told you you’re an abhorrent person, nothing else. The general sentiment in this thread seems to be in agreement with me.

                    This also has the added benefit of wasting your time.

                    Who’s the one with the lacking reading comprehension, again?
