The dollar is capital - it is not a resource. A resource cannot be printed randomly based on the whims of a federal reserve.

Seems you need an econonmics class and a history class.

Class dismissed - ignored.

Straight from the fuckin dictionary.

@JohnFonda , you never answered when I asked how old you were (not that you have to), but let me guess... Mid 20's to early 30's? The reason I'm asking is because I know a lot of people in that range who think a lot like you. I did when I was in my early 20's but the military changed how I viewed a lot of this shit when I actually saw how some other countries and states are run first hand.

It is kind of odd that a person would shit on a post rather than advancing a reasonable and persuasive argument why your post makes no sense and theirs does etc.

I suggest you view them as a compliment, cuz if people who do that had a better argument, they'd use it.
Wrong.

You write the same novel most every time you post. 'better arguments' would become as repetitive as you, meaning oftentimes a :poop: is a time saver yet still appropriate and on point.

Just to make that more clear, the dollar is the capital, the supply of it is the resource.
In terms of economics, a resource is a commodity. As such money can be considered one since it is traded as a commodity. But that is mostly like Vegas betting on the human imposed fluctuations in it's value. It is not a natural resource, and if the country that printed it fails, it has no intrinsic value.

For instance if you invested in Venezuelan Bolivars (currency) 10 years ago, before socialism, you would now have stacks of paper you might as well give to the locals to use as toilet paper, because they no longer have any. And your investment would be gone.

It doesn't even matter because the shitting on my posts from the puppet aren't even due to the puppet disagreeing with what I've said. They are just shitting on the posts an effort to bother me and for no other reason.

Yes I'm young. I was born in a age where information was more plentiful and resources less so. The thing about capitalism in this model is it can only expand so much before it becomes redundant and folds back in on itself. Not to mention the inefficiency and waste created. Everything is driven by profit, actual tangible resources are used in the pursuit of profit in the form of currency. If you want to see how companies roll eachother over look at pharmaceuticals. A very clear example of the harm that is done chasing the American dream of getting the top. There are things to take away from every model but I dont know a current one that promotes freedom, and ethics. Jobs arent always a good thing. Who wants to maintain a golf course they cant afford to play on themselves ? Work in a restaurant they cant afford to eat at? Maintain a private yacht for some investors son working endless hours. Idk I guess we all have our own interpretation of freedom. Ima check out. It was good discussing social constructs with you gentlemen for the most part at least.

If you don’t want to do that then be the restaurant owner, or the investor, owner of the golf course. It’s America. You could do all 3.

Know a guy who just bought 2 duplexes, did a bit of remodeling, put the remodel on a 0 interest credit card, owner financed the property. He will refi in a couple months conventional mortgage, pay the card off, and probably stick some $$$$ in his pocket. Didn’t spend a dime of his own money. It’s not easy. It’s not simple. It’s not comfortable but it’s possible.

I know jack shit about starting a business. I’ve got one that I make a few bucks on. It’s another income stream, or maybe a slow drip lol.

You have to want to put in the work. No free rides.

No offense, but it sounds to me that your gripe is with your parents. You'd probably be living your dream if you were heir to someone else's fortune.
