All Things Economic

What a fun way to spend your Sunday evening.

“ I think you have shown your ass enough.”

Your ignorant tenacity continues. I’m not going to relive how it started but it was a comment you made about my mother.

It just show who you are. You have put your whole life and failures on here and call them learning experiences. You don’t care if you ruined or dented a child or woman’s life. It’s all in a days work for you. You drug your current wife into you life inability and I’m sure she regrets that also.

I’m no coward or a poor parent.. you are both. You have journaled on your own on a swingers site..

Facts are, you don’t agree with my opinion and it pains you to just let it go or change the format, but you have to be an asshole because that’s truly who you are.

Again, you can decide to leave me out of your bashing or endure the ricochet… You are a sad little man..

I think you have shown your ass enough.

You started this nonsense. I don't even remember what set you off or what you are calling me, because it is not important. The point is that pretty much every one on the board, even the other conservatives, told you to knock it off. But you didn't until I started reciprocating.

Now you are trying to go all 1980s Gordon Gekko.

LOL

Positives of being greedy

Here are some potential positives of being greedy. Note: These are subjective and some might also be seen as negatives depending on the context.

Focus: A desire for more can drive individuals to focus on their goals and prioritize their time and resources more effectively.
Innovation: Greedy individuals may be more likely to think outside of the box and come up with innovative solutions to problems.
Ambition: Greed can fuel a desire for success and motivate individuals to work harder to achieve their goals.
Confidence: Greed can give individuals the confidence to take risks and pursue opportunities that others may shy away from.
Resourcefulness: Greedy people often have a talent for finding creative ways to get what they want, which can be useful in problem-solving situations.
Determination: Greed can give individuals the determination and persistence needed to overcome obstacles and achieve success.

“ Your lame attempts to try that on me are unsuccessful. Mainly because you are not very good at it.

So you keep flailing away...”

No, you have done enough damage by your own handling of situations. You get pleasure from your heinous retorts with people. This is how we got here because you feel you need to denigrate everything I say.

There isn’t a person in reality in these forums that doesn’t think that about you. You get desire from your personal attacks and your less than human replies and you are not above lying to make you look like the good guy. ( still waiting for those private messages where I “begged” you to stop.

You would get nothing but joy if I blocked you but I don’t do that. Your personal attacks will be met with personal attacks. Anytime you want to have a real conversation and a human debate, please feel free to reach out. Leave me out of your bedlam and I’ll stop handing you the truth about what kind of a hypocrite you actually are.

You are and have always been to me very myopic. You disparage me as greedy and inhuman less you understand that there are positives to everything. They just happen to be uncomfortable for people like yourself who have failed so miserably at relationships and parenting. You never understood or undertook the concept.

It’s your choice. We can leave it here or you continue to be a parasitic tick.

"You sure think a lot of yourself."

I am a human just trying to get through life.

One of my prime directives, if you will, is to try not to intentionally cause physical or emotional harm to another human being.

I am not alway successful, but that is part of being human.

You not only don't think that way, but you seem to enjoy trying to hurt people.

Your lame attempts to try that on me are unsuccessful. Mainly because you are not very good at it.

So you keep flailing away...

“ Can anyone help me correlate the real-life documentary of American greed and scams to a morning gossip show?”

Sure, if you really need someone to, but having read enough of your writings I have faith you can understand the innuendo without me having to waste my time writing it. Come on man.. you got this.

Either that or a cheep attempt to disparage me. Either way.. Have a great day..

Can anyone help me correlate the real-life documentary of American greed and scams to a morning gossip show?

"As a human, you leave much to be desired."

You sure think a lot of yourself. I bet your neglected, a used child ( cause that's what it was) you put through hell has a much different perspective.

You just keep moving the goal posts to accept the truth that they would have been far better off than if you never existed

I'm not sorry but I don't get that vibe from my children or my circle of friends and acquaintances.

You know nothing about me. But unlike your ignorance, you wrote them down for the swinging world to see just how inadequate you were as a partner and a father in your own writing. Good job dumb ass..

LOL.

You continue to prove my point.

Sure, you have made a ton of money. Good for you.

As a human, you leave much to be desired.

As I said, empathy and humility are not your strong suits.

“ Humility is not your strong suit.”

Every point I made and you pounce on a couple of words because you are not adept enough to address any of the other points made. You prove every post how pitiful of a POS you are by trying to distance yourself from answering anything of substance. We all know about the poor choices you made in women that effectively branded your kid. You diagramed that very neatly all over these forums.

You brought you exes into these conversations, you brought your lack of relationship in here and blamed everyone else in the relationship. Shall I put together your story for you? You are nothing more than a deserter incapable of taking responsibility for your own short comings.

And you are a serial liar, I’m still waiting on those private messages you say I begged you to stop hurting my feelings with. You have been and always be a POS that failed his kids because of your inability to have a realistic relationship. You are an abject failure..

“ I don't think I have read a more self serving statement here ever.”

Again, I’m not the coward that left my children vulnerable. You just keep preaching you stench..

“ Why are you such a proponent of big corps and big pharma creating monopolies and receiving tax breaks? You sound like a flat-tax or no-tax kind of guy.”

Again, guessing as to my truths.

Why are you or anyone else funding these benefits you speak of? You have self will, right? Do you use Amazon or do you shop the old fashion way? Do you fly or do you drive? Do you buy what you eat or do you grow, raise and prepare it?

Hey are call convenience. Look that word up. Every person here “could” at their will live with 75% less of what they do now. But we don’t educate humans that way anymore.

I laugh everytime I see the blame being placed on others. Very few take personal accountability or actions. You are the person that bought into fueling corporations. You were brainwashed to do it. You complain about them and you want daddy government to regulate them.

The system has you so bambozzled you don’t know what to believe. You have the power for your life just as 95% of others have in their lives to make a difference on your own.

Explain to me what benefits governments get for trying to regulate a corporation? There is no benefit. Where do you think the bulk of the money comes from? Correct, corporations.. why do you think lobbyists on the corporations are a steering mechanism in government. Corporations, labor unions… They are the government. Without them the government couldn’t exist at this level,.

You don’t know me. Answer for yourself and not on my behalf…

“In a free economy corporate greed is impossible."

This, exactly. Except exactly the opposite.

"I reward less fortunate"

LOL

I don't think I have read a more self serving statement here ever.

Humility is not your strong suit.

“ So, I'll reiterate. Some other posters and I were talking about others. You know, the less fortunate ones? It's a difficult concept for you to think about others who make less than you, but we get it. So, with all of their bad decisions and financial stumbles, people still need gainful employment, unions, housing, food, clothing and medical.”

I will reiterate.. less fortunate are those who find themselves in dire positions due to no fault of their own. Families who chose to bring to term a human that will need a human for its existence. An individual that gave of themselves and were incapacitated in any way. Someone that was altered because of malice on another’s part.

So no, again you have misrepresented me as a non caring person. But it’s far from the truth. I reward less fortunate that didn’t cause their situation including children who have been the product of stupid veckless sperm & egg donors (which has become more prevalent today) this latest generations reek wit the stench of Münchausen syndrome.

You are correct, I can choose where I live because I made the right choices. When I became a relationship we made the right choices. That’s why I can afford homes in 3 different countries and hold citizenship in two.

And again (and you should know this you are a veteran,). Weapons don’t kill people, they are inanimate. People kill people. You can say it all da long but it doesn’t make it true.

So there, you trying to make me at fault for others decisions because I won’t pity and abdicate my resources is akin to preparing to survive and giving away my survival cache because someone else didn’t. You being in the military should understand. You are there to kill people and break things. Without you none of the mechanisms of war would be useless. Even the red button.

You and I have had our moments here and that’s history. But don’t pretend to know me as a man or someone with empathy for the right reasons not out of pity for the pathetic.

“ I can't recall a time when people weren't saying some variant of one or all of the following:
The economy is shit”

That thought goes through my head every time I hear a similar sentiment.

I’m pretty sure that ten years from now most people will look back at these years with fondness.

The main point that I'm trying to make is, to live in the U.S. is very expensive in most of the country.

There are so many countries in the world that a person could live comfortably on $40-70k per year.

The Caribbean Islands, Africa, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Poland, Greece, Turkey.

And wherever you go, you will find an Ex-Pat community of English speakers from the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. You can learn as much as a little of the local language and live peacefully with better food and less gun violence and violent crimes.

"Anyone here bringing home 5-10k per month post taxes will be alright. I'm good."

Please don't mix me up with those ppl that you're speaking down to. The last part of my statement says "I'm good". Until the day I die, I'm financially and medically good. I don't have the money to buy a house in Cali, NY or the major cities on the east coast at 6%, but any southern state, I can. But I'll probably be retired in SE Asia or West Europe by 2028 or 2029 anyways.

So, I'll reiterate. Some other posters and I were talking about others. You know, the less fortunate ones? It's a difficult concept for you to think about others who make less than you, but we get it. So, with all of their bad decisions and financial stumbles, people still need gainful employment, unions, housing, food, clothing and medical.

American capitalism has enabled corporations to price out a large part of society in their attempts to take care of their housing, food, clothing and medical.

Why are you such a proponent of big corps and big pharma creating monopolies and receiving tax breaks? You sound like a flat-tax or no-tax kind of guy.

You obviously don't like seeing homeless ppl or ppl using your tax dollars in gov't aid to survive. Or do you?

“ Someone has never seen the Documentary 'American Greed', now airing its 15th season.”

And how many seasons of the View?

“ Most Americans don't have savings and unable to relocate.”

And whose fault is that?

Not those that continue to buy 75 K vehicles, $8 coffee, tattoos, have children before they can even take care of themselves, pay for an “education” that they won’t see a return on or if they ever do. Taking vacations, going out to eat.

It’s all a choice. It’s hard to save but it’s also hard to starve. You are the person responsible for picking your hard. It’s sucking watching any of you complain how the system is hurting you. You fucking allow it. You have no ability to understand a want and a need.

No on here has given anything but talking points on “ corporate greed”. If you think you are being bled and you are that ignorant to keep doing it then it’s self inflicted foolishness.

Stop making excuses for everyone. Stop participating in what you are complaining about. It’s pathetic. Most of you wouldn’t last 30 days if there was an EMP.. Just fucking pathetic.. First world problems..

Another example of the greed is landlords and property managements jacking the rent.

Raising rent another $200-400 could cause families to be evicted and live in their cars, shelters or tents.

Most Americans don't have savings and unable to relocate.

What @2much said

“In a free economy corporate greed is impossible."

In a Sims game? Maybe. In any real world economic system? No, of course not, and no one who knows anything about economics would say such a thing.

Even if you had an unfettered free market, there would always be inefficiencies that take time to correct. Plus, greed is never impossible, corporate or individual. Better mousetraps just select for cleverer mice.
