Peter Schiff: "Mental retards are maybe worth 2$ an hour"

[DEAD7]

Freedom is a relational phenomenon based on capacities. It's not a monolithic, essential entity that is chipped away every time someone acts to stop you or prevent you from doing something, or makes you do something you didn't decide to do all by yourself.

That's why this "force" argument is flawed. Humans aren't atomistic. Freedom is essentially a social achievement, not an individual one.

I disagree, I just havent put together why coherently yet

My knee jerk reaction is, only individuals value. only individuals act.





Ill get back to you with a more substantive response in a bit.

Peter Schiff is a genius. He's great at pinpointing the problems of the economy and I applaud him for that, but some of his solutions are laugh-worthy at best.

If I say "it's going to rain tomorrow" for a year, I bet I'd be right too. His record isn't that great.

Do you even know why they're called an asset or credit bubble? Because they keep inflating until they pop. All those "false" predictions are only timing mistakes but they still prove his expectations.

What timing mistakes? A prediction rests on a given thing happening at a given time. Watch this: I predict that Denver will win on Sunday, I'll check back with you Monday morning to see if I meant THIS Sunday or one in the future.


Calling the housing bubble was impressive, but where's the rest of it at? Where's the hyperinflation even 5 years after he predicted it? Where's the dollar being worthless or the US economy completely crumbling? The man is the economic equivalent to the guy who kept predicting the Rapture. "Oh it didn't happen this year, well then it DEFINITELY is gonna happen next year."

The real problem there lies in the people.

If the problem is the people, and ppl are a constant in life, how do you feel any system, let alone a free market system can and will work

I like this new breed of Anarcho-Capitalists. They are very vocal about where they stand and take pride in greed and their evils. Their pride and greed will be their downfall.

It makes the opposition's "job" much easier.

They want to take us back to feudalism where everyone is a serf to their lord. I also found out that Libertarians lack discipline and want everything to be free without responsibility.

Its amazing how so many people are anti-logic. When you think about production, mentally handicapped really are not worth that much. Too much estrogen in you "men."

So disabled people are measured by what they can do for the economy and not on the content of their character?

If MLK was alive, I wonder how he would have felt if he heard that shyt. And I dare you to call him "soft"

@ humanity when they start measuring you on what type of jobs that you can do over anything else.

There's no such thing as value-free economics, which is why econ is never simply a matter of logical vs illogical decisions. What people are doing in this thread is criticizing those values- nothing illogical (or logical) about that.

Good question, I dont feel any system will "work", I just feel as though a free market system will be better. It will offer the most opportunity at the lowest cost.

I think minorities especially will benefit from having barriers to entry removed, and being able to compete side by side with whites in every arena. In fact I think the results of side by side competition will surprise many.
I do not think the free market is perfect, I do not think its a utopia, I do not think it will solve all or even most of our problems. I simply think its better than what we have.
