That’s not irony.

It also assumes I paid anything for this iPhone 7…which I didn’t.

But that argument is nonsense, anyways. Apparently you have to be a caveman or you can’t criticize anything? That would be pretty convenient for you.

Well, I did say “got to be”. Just an observation…I obviously don’t know if this was necessary or useful.

Should be noted that his justification is a lunatic the CIA hired and then brought back from Afghanistan.

I mean…ya…but this “quote” doesn’t appear to me to be talking about the wealthy…but rather addressing the notion that poor people and the unemployed have no value if they don’t have employment/can’t find better employment.

Could be wrong.

No, thank you. I’m not interested in some random chart with no sourcing.

The first word in PPP is “purchasing”. It should be self-evident.

My comment wasn’t intended to be zero sum. Both countries have elements of socialism and capitalism…but one certainly “leans” more in the capitalist direction.

Not really a “wild idea”, as much as something a 12 year old would come up with.

Yeah…I thought a Robotech/Star Wars crossover would have been cool…when I was 12.

PPP also isn’t an appropriate measure because it partially assumes capitlaism.

[–] ISuperabound@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

it’s an appropriate measure.

You can’t compare a large country with low population density to a small one with high density, for example.

No, not “all measures”…by your words - you appear to be making an American exceptionalism argument. Canada is in the top 10, the USA isn’t. I agree that China isn’t.

We already knew this…because forced rehab has been tried. It’s barbaric, and it’s depressing that a “socialist” premier pulled the trigger.

I’m from London…back in the 80s it was a hotbed for these folks…but they did it indoors.
