Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

What are you advocating for?

I'd love for economic prosperity to actually trickle down.  When a big company does well, reward the many as well as the few.  
Maybe Amazon could allow an environment in which warehouse workers have the time to use the bathroom.  
Maybe Walmart workers could be full-time employees.
Maybe social media companies shouldn't be slaves to their own algorithms.

You know, radical,horrible ideas.  

I would read whatever you proposed.  I'd also be astonished if it made any sense.

But, as you appear to be unable to propose anything, the issue is moot.

To me, it's nothing but puerile whining, with no proposed practicable solution, even a partial one.

Life in unfair.  Indeed it is.  I can't fix that.

Sorry I'm not typing out a proposal for reorganizing our country's entire economic system. 
My bad.  Let's not criticize anything unless we have a fix.

So shut up about me, unless you can fix me.  

I wonder if it's a good thing when one gets badly embarassed if the person doesn't understand that it happened.

My step son and his GF were here for a few days and wanted to go to a mall north of us, the principal mall in ATL.  We started across the street at Phipp's Plaza, which is a smaller upscale mall my wife wanted to visit.  I was surprised how busy it was, very few empty store fronts.  We walked across the Lenox, same thing, even busier (I realize it's the Season).  They seem to be doing OK but I've seen other suburban malls being bulldozed here, or repurposed, or bought up the by the county.

Like most men, I dislike "shopping".  If I need something, OK, go get it and done, which usually means Amazon anyway for me.

Women seem more often to "enjoy" the experience, looking at this, looking at that, drives me crazy.  It's as if they want something but they don't know what, they just want to spend money on something new, consumer culture.  If I want something and feel I need it, I buy it, done.  No shopping randomly with some chance I see something I want.

My wife lets me off usually of course.  She often wants to buy me clothes which I do not need.

For one person to win, hundreds just have to stay at the same plateau for decades. 
You're right, let's joke about it and deny it's that way.  Fun. 

BULLSHIT the economy is not a zero-sum game.  Please go take a macro economics class or two or just observe what actually happens. 

And I wasn't joking, I was making a sarcastic comment about your ignorance of how an economy works.  If the economy was a zero-sum game there would be no growth in the economy over time. 

As for the US economy, the figures are available that clearly show it's not some zero sum game, if one believes government figures.  There are times when it has been a negative sum game, I guess we'd say "subtraction".  But aside from COVID, our economy has been streadily growing for an unusual number of years in real terms.

That effectively means a larger pie.  As I noted above, a large section of that larger pie has been going to wealthier folks, this isn't unique of course, it's inherent.  When the stock market goes up, I personally benefit, while someone scraping by doesn't except secondarily.  A billionaire buys a yacht, someone had to design and build it, and someone made the materials from which it was assembled.

Europe tried a bilionaire wealth tax a few years back, it's worth reading about what happened, if you can't predict the outcome beforehand.

Politicians thrive on fear and hatred, nearly all of them identify some group or groups to loathe and despise and want to punish.  They feed on human nature and tribalism.

Is there a football game on?
