ObjectivityIncarnate

I’m only commenting to wonder why “point” was the word you put in all caps, not the word “power”.

Oh, so all of a sudden Hugo from New Jersey’s not good enough to get a red underline?

The last panel’s wording insults the audience’s intelligence, imo. “I’d get arrested” would be enough to get the joke across.

The initial comment was on how the stock market transfers wealth from poor people to rich people over time.

Yes. And it doesn’t.

If there was no stock market, poor people wouldn’t be any less poor. There was literally a lot more poverty before stock markets existed.

But, once the valuation is realized…

Which it hasn’t, in the case I’m referring to, where it’s being claimed that net worth increases = equivalent decreases in others’ cash reserves.

The notion that the world’s wealth is zero sum (which is required to believe the foolishness above), when it’s exceedingly obvious that new wealth is created constantly, is a display of blatant ignorance of basic economics.

Your baseball card became worth more because more of them got lost or destroyed over time so it got more rare.

Assumption. That can happen because the athlete has a very good season, or even becomes famous/infamous for an unrelated reason.

In other words, you’re assuming it’s because supply went down, but it can also be that demand went up. Or a combination.

But that’s beside the point, which is that its value changing has zero impact on what’s in others’ wallets. Because it’s a price tag. Not an amount of actual money.

Your point?

The stock market is just a way for people with more money to slowly take money away from people with less money

A stock price isn’t “money”. It is, literally, a price tag. The price of a stock going up does not take actual money out of anyone’s wallet.

If my $5 baseball card becomes worth $100 as time passes while I continue to possess it, do you seriously believe I’ve now done the equivalent of stealing $95?

Right now, the S&P 500 is 6,448.26 and the Dow Jones is 45,271.23, lol—both higher than the “6 months ago” figures.

Wonder what day “today” actually is. This is an especially egregious example of making a meme that will age badly, literally giving itself a natural lifespan under 24 hours with “today”.

In any case, boo to you for spreading false info that you could have fact-checked extremely easily.

What do you think of this particular peculiarity (I think it’s peculiar, anyway)?

Biden granted Harris extended protection for whatever reason.

Do you know how long the extension was for? For life also, or just a longer duration?

Which one is babybel?

I’ve got a worthless degree i deeply regret

Meanwhile, not far from this comment is someone claiming no one regrets getting their degree, lol.

Stay mad that in 30 seconds, I was able to directly contradict that stupid generalization with facts.

All that needs understanding is that sweeping statements like those shouldn’t be made, as they’re basically always inaccurate.

This will only change the kind of person throwing them, not the amount thrown, lol.

“I got beat and I turned out fine” people when you point out that growing up to be someone that thinks beating children is okay means they did not turn out fine, lol.

You must be the only person living in America, correct?

I replied to a comment about the entire US, so showing it to be false anywhere in the US refutes it. Don’t make/support generalizations if you don’t like it, and don’t want to be full of crap.

Just looked on Zocdoc and there are 2 PCPs who are:

• less than 1 mile away
• covered by my insurance
• have multiple appointments available tomorrow, and many more over the default two-week span you’re shown

You’re full of crap.

Edit: Aww, do the ideologues not like having their talking points instantly debunked?

Yeah, as I read this, my first thought was it being preceded with “never subjugated voice:”, lol.

What did you think about Mike Tyson’s face tattoo? Would you judge someone with 5 lip rings, 2 eyebrow rings, and their nose stretched on both sides?

I judge people based on how they act, and nothing more. You should try it sometime.

Personal choices like elective surgery make you vulnerable to ridicule.

Only deeply flawed/insecure people go out of their way to ridicule anyone (especially going so far out of your way to collect photos of them to post on the Internet for the explicit purpose of mockery) based on personal choices they make about their own appearance.

Don’t try to rationalize this infantile behavior, who do you think you’re kidding, pretending you’re justified in the least for this?
