Would dollar terms be relevant metric since the costs went up post COVID? It’s total goods manufactured and that dipped.

Im not sure everyone does this quite like he has.

As this is the second time I suspect that’s the motivating factor. Also NY state is charging him NOT the feds so it might be its because he’s got no protection

The overwhelming majority of their issues come from their monetary policy choices, such as printing too much, and their failure to invest oil profits when the prices were high into literally any sector other than oil. They failed to do so.

America is a convenient thing to blame but they aren’t responsible for the current economy.

That’s using that Euro binary.

The Euro binary only makes sense when liberal democracy is the default. That is not true in Africa or Asia which is factually most of the world.

Almost anywhere else is still a really Eurocentric and ignorant claim. The USA is to the left of the majority of countries on earth unless you are using the EUROPEAN economic binary which does not fit MOST of the world.

Im not saying you’re Eurocentric but your claim absolutely is and it is far too common of a mistake for supposed progressives to make.

He is from NJ

The value increased because people suspect sales would be made of products that have yet to he created so the value increased with ZERO input from the workers.

“Stocks kind of sort of sometimes represent real valuations but they never reflect the pure value of the labor alone. The analysis is not relevant. Stocks gain value because of the labor of workers.”

Sorry but it is entirely relevant as it demonstrates the inaccuracy if your claim that labor is the only source of value. It is not and you can easily find thousands of examples as to why the labor theory of value is no longer supported in neoclassical economics. Marx was wrong about this.

Speculation creates some of the value of stock and labor factors into it but neither accounts for the total value of the stock.

Unless by “everywhere” you mean Europe you might consider that MUCH of the world is more authoritarian than the USA and would, by the anarchy/liberalism vs conservatism binary, be further to the right than America currently is.

Remember a ton of countries are not politically free in any real fashion. For example Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and DPRK are all to the right of the USA and especially Sander’s views.

Mention this to your doctor on your visit. Two gallons is a lot of water and you can be too hydrated.

He runs unopposed in NJ because positions in the Senate are based on seniority. It rarely makes sense to replace a senator with experience.

He’s been tried in the Senate previously for accepting bribes.

Horseshoe theory, while an interesting idea, has not geld up well once political scientists started looking into it.

I get you’re joking but it’s an idea that needs to die.

Plus he’s been caught for this previously

The US military is one if the most socialist organizations.

If it is available to all it is socialism. If it is only available to the wealthy then it is theft of national resources or graft.

No he was tried in the senate a few years back for taking bribes. The guy who bribed him went to jail for other bribes and Menendez walked.

No, I used the same format but I am a different person.

You made a really bold and ridiculous claim now either provide proof to back that up or maybe consider your claim that Europe has ANY socialist countries at all is just not true.

The bit you are overlooking is the conditional phrase “which is often not related to the productivity of workers”.

If I suspect APPL is going to gain value because I know China is going to announce that Chinese government workers can use Apple devices, then the gain in value will be based on the speculation that the stock will rise with these potential new sales. Thus the rise is not related to anything the workers are currently doing only on what they might possibly do in the future. That is speculative.

The above is not the same as the total value being purely speculative. Stocks kind of sort of sometimes represent real valuations but they never reflect the pure value of the labor alone. If that was the case there would be nothing to speculate on. We know exactly how many units Apple manufactures and how many sell. That is factored into evaluations as to if the stock price is accurate or not.

Im a different poster.

With that in mind please name five countries in Europe attempting any form of socialism. You will not be able to because no country in Europe is socialist.

No the pointy, which I made, was socialism is evil because the people who attempt to install it purge their populations.

Thus the US’s imperialism abroad is an entirely unrelated issue to the point I was making. If you have evidence of mass purges for ideological reasons that would be relevant but also has never happened here.
