The world is finite. That's a fact. The universe is not. However, at the current time, we don't have a universe wide economy; we have an economy that is constrained by limited worldwide resources. Therefore, a way has to be followed to dole out those limited resources.
One idea floated around for the last hundred years or so is to evenly divide up those resources among everyone and have us all sit a round a fire signing folk songs. This ignores human nature and the facts that many people sing off key and burn the marshmallows.
Another idea floated around for several thousands of years is that we divide up the resources between the strongest among us and allow the weakest to be slaves, serfs, peasants etc. and allow the strongest to dole up rations.
yet another idea is that we allow everyone an equal starting chance for everyone to get a share of these resources. The harder they work, the more they help, and/or turn natural resources into bertter products( value) the more resources they are able to get and keep..
these ideas are known as
Marxism/socialism
feudalism/law of the jungle
capitalism/free market.

each has its drawbacks and benefits. None are the best answer but one is clearly better than the other two IMO

1. That age old question that has dogged the left since Marx was alive has finally been answered. For longer than a century, whenever the left proposed a new program or new way to steal your freedoms people would ask "How do u plan to pay for that?" Everytime. This stumped them.
2. But fear not, now after serious thinking (😂😂 ) on their part they finally figured out how they are going to pay for their Utopia.Their grand plan to pay for all of their crazy ideas is...get this.....create the money out of thin air to pay for it. This is not a joke.
3. Since they are now going to just create money out of thin air by issuing debt, they don't even need to collect taxes; but they will so you can't spend the fake money and cause inflation and/or production of bad things like gasoline. Still not joking.

1 Did you all hear about the new socialist economic theory making the rounds? It's an amazing and involved theory. I'm surprised we all didn't think of this.

The theory is called modern monetary theory.
2. The theory basically says that governments that print their own money can spend whatever the hell they want and not worry about things like debt. Keynesian turbocharged in other words.
3. The theory has 3 central planks
A) monetary sovereign governments face no purely financial constraints
B) all economies and all governments face real and ecological limits on what can be produced and consumed.
C) the government's financial deficit is everyone else's surplus

1. Okay I've been kicking this around some over the last couple hours and I want to expand on the stupid politico article that named 200 people as waging a " sustained and ongoing disinformation assault" that "targets Dem presidential candidates." Their words not mine.
2. First off, if I used that kind of language in my tweets there is a good chance I wouldn't be on twitter at this time. For those of you who haven't seen the article and want to follow along it can be found here:
politico.com/story/2019/02/…
3. Now, I mentioned in an earlier tweet that the emotion that come off of this article by the left is fear. It's pure unadulterated fear on their part. Those that know me, know I like to look at things from a different POV. In that light let's take a closer look at this article.

Monday I made a decision I should have made in 2016: I will no longer engage people deliberately lying about anything, be it me, the election, the events of 2016, Trump.

Wilfull ignorance is not a good faith position.
I like to engage readers, but not on false premises.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. None of us--myself included--is entitled to their own facts.

#FACT: Bernie Sanders lost the 2016 primary because he got 4M fewer votes. Period.
#FACT: Trump is a criminal. He was cited as a felon in the #MichaelCohen case. Period.
2/
#FACT: Trump is a racist. As far back as the 1970s Trump was investigated by the DOJ for racial bias. He consistently attacks black celebrities and athletes. He announced his candidacy for president by calling Mexican immigrants rapists, murderers and drug dealers.

Thread: While the world is shaken by the #murder of #Bulgarian journalist #ViktoriaMarinova, it might be a good time to talk about the country itself. #BG ranks lower in #PressFreedom than both #Hungary or #Poland. The country is the poorest and most corrupt in the #EU. 1/13
Yet, the #EU somehow does not think #Bulgaria is a big issue, due to the fact that PM (and ex-bodyguard of #Soviet General Secretary Todor Zhivkov) @BoykoBorissov "behaves", unlike #Orban and #Kaczyński, who openly challenge the Union. Borissov's party is also member of @EPP 2/13
#MediaFreedom-wise, 80% of the print media in the country is owned by MP #Peevski, whose pro-gov tabloids (with the generous help of other pro-gov actors who get nice rewards in return such as property #Blaskov) stifle #opposition and manage vast #antiEU smear campaigns 3/13

You can’t make this s**t up @SenWarren @SenatorCarper @SenWhitehouse @SenBlumenthal are demanding an investigation from the Department of Defense IG into who’s toured Air Force One. These people are insane, what a horrific waste of resources. #VOTEDEMSOUT
WHAT do you think giving tours to campaign donors was for? You are a further embarrassment to the VA Committee Blumenthal the @DeptofDefense has better sh*t to do like defend the Country.
The whole damn world has had a tour of Air Force One?! THIS is what you worry about? OMG. ENOUGH.

I got to explain #GayPanic and #UselessLesbian to my pysch today 😂

These are terms I just learned (over the last few months myself) that described succinctly, what the heck is going on with my brain.

To unpack these terms, I'm going to start you with Sappho.
-
-
“Sweet mother, I cannot weave –
slender Aphrodite has overcome me
with longing for a girl.” –Sappho

To everyone, we've almost all been in this feeling. (i cannot speak for Ace)
Someone we see or meet, and their presence just #dazzles us into #malfunction (however brief)

-
- it's a pretty common #human #feeling. (again, cannot speak for Ace, and that's ok, y'all are lovely :) )

now here's where #GayPanic sets in... we feel the feels...omg. wow.
and our brains go into... IS THIS DANGER????

I'm sorry to say, our panic does start there.

#Fact 1 - The Wage Gap is real. People who says it's not haven't read the data.

However, in places like the USA, the wage gap is *not* mostly due to sexism like many #femnist #WomenInScience are claiming it is today. Disparate outcomes doesn't imply disparate treatment.
Women typically choose fields that are lower paying; even in the #STEM fields. To attribute that to sexism only or even mostly is a very dishonest way of deriving an answer for this complex disparity.

Sources:

cew.georgetown.edu/wp-content/upl…

npr.org/sections/money…
When the US Department of Labor Statistics took into consideration personal choices, non-wage benefits, hours worked, experience, education, and other variables that contributes to the wage gap the percentage of earnings decreases to approximately 3%.
