The federal reserve is a private company actually

It was created.in 1913.

It's the most powerful entity in the world.

They decide what interest rates will be. They decide.if they need to cause a recession. They decide if they need to buy or.ossie bonds. They decide how much money to put in the system.

It is a centrally planned economy.

I know what your stupid point is by the way... That shadowy rich people behind the scenes are pulling all the strings. And you're right!

But that is still a centrally planned system, not a free market system

It’s the end stage of free market sturg. Dance around it all you want but you know it is.

[sturg33]

For further clarity,

This is not the free market at work

I'm sorry for being so naive to not see why this is a better situation

I'm reposting this because it's a perfect illustration of thethes delusions

In THIS example, he supports a free market. Central planning bad!

But other examples, he knows how to best plan the economy for world prosperity

It's quite literally the opposite.

1913 was the opening salvo to end free markets.

We have 100 years.of central planning to study. You have your answer right in front of you

But on this topic you are not not very intelligent

If you think allowing a dairy farmer to continue to produce milk is the same as supporting a communist slave state then I suppose we do have nothing left to talk about

Great gotcha!!!

Oh you mean the people that accumulated massive amounts of power based on free market conditions deciding to rig the economy has nothing to do with the free market. Interesting…

No I think you nor any governing body is intelligent enough to plan what is good and what isn't.

Especially knowing how easily people are bought and paid for.

It doesn't work. We have the evidence right in front of our eyes.

Where your analysis fails you is you have misdiagnosed the dease. You grew up being taught that America is a lazefair capitalist free market system. And it is clearly not working. Ergo, free.markrys are flawed

But America is not a free market.capitalist system. We are exactly what you want us to be. A centrally planned organization that picks and chooses winners based on whatever is wanted at that time

This is a failed.system, and your proposed solution - which is the same system - will also fail

Have a good Saturday

Talk to woodrow wilson. A fierce believer that our free.market was rigged and they could plan it.much better in DC

I find it fascinating that me saying we should stop doing all business with the CCP has resulted in you lobbing an accusation that I want central planning. Then you try to make the false equivalence to a ridiculous action by Canada to a dairy farmer.

You continue on supporting trade with the CCP because thats all I want stopped.

[sturg33]

I totally understand your position. You want to do to china exactly what Biden has done to Russia since the Ukraine invasion.

The nerve of me wanted to stop doing business with a Communist dictatorship.

You can enjoy being on the side that is ok doing business with them.

Yikes!

The GLobalists need the war to move on so they can pillage Americans wealth.

The story gets weirder. Poh should turn herself in. Plenty of young lesbians in prison.

The earthquake in Turkey/Syria is awful

[Tapate50]

Crazy that Buffalo had a 3.8 as well the same time frame.

can’t imagine what that looks like for the Turks.

[Garmel]

Over 5,000 people are confirmed dead from the quake. Just awful.

[goldfly]

15,000 and climbing

Awful

[Runnin]

15,000 and climbing

Awful

I've experienced few scary moments of earthquakes and can easily imagine that it's one of the more horrible ways to die, being crushed under rubble.

I actually agree with you for once. It will hurt our economy a ton but we need to cut ties with China. All we are doing is feeding our enemy making him stronger. I understand the logic for keeping ties with China despite their actions but I don't think it's realistic anymore to think that western influence might cause the Chinese people to rise up against the CCP. China is too big. Technology is too advanced.

The reality is starting to set in - A select few of us knew from the beginning.
