There’s the first sign you’ve got no real argument, playing the dog whistle card. Supply and demand is not a dog whistle.
The rest of your rant about “stolen wealth” and “billionaires bad” is just the typical communist garbage.
Oh yeah, you are right of course, all the economic indicators around widening wealth gap and shrinking middle class are just communist delusions. You numpty. I am not a communist or an aspiring communist, sorry you picked the wrong boogeyman to assign me. I would probably align with weak Socialism if anything but I do believe democracy can work so social democrat in terms of outlook. Nobody has EARNT a billion dollars ever and the existence of billionaires is a strong sign of the rot that has set in to "free market" economies worldwide. No amount of bleating about different ethnic groups will fix that, but it sure keeps the rubes distracted, so enjoy the taste of those boots as long as you can while "advocating" for "freedom".
Classic communist thinking.
You still don't know what a communist is. I don't know what upsets me more about people like you, that you might be dumb enough to believe the shit you dribble, or that you are disingenuous and self loathing enough to confidently and stridently shout this shit knowing it is, in fact, shit.
Either way I think I am done with you, I have consistently delivered reasoned and cogent arguments in all of our interactions, you have dribbled shit. I already have a full time job I can't hold down another one shouting you down. So farewell, I hope one day you can reach a place of understanding that society needs to exist for the benefit of the most people not just the boot that's currently stepping on you.
Classic lost the argument projecting.
Nope. Just listening to the advice, often attributed somewhat dubiously to George Carlin, about not arguing with idiots.
