Yes when the extra details and full complexity comes out it can be harder to answer sure. It is afterall a complex system economics.

@Romaq

Why dont they want you?

I have been trying to find someone I can really rally behind, but I too just havent managed to get there...

There are 2 people in the democrats running against biden. RFK might stand a chance as his name has some clout, but I doubt it. He is also a moron... There is a lady running against him too, the name is escaping me... but since she is a democrat and polling single digits i dont see any chance there.

West and the people's party just looks like a Bernie circle jerk, so ill pass there. If i wanted to burn money in a bon fire I can do that myself.

There is no libertarian nominee yet as far as I know, so no choices that.

That just leaves me with republicans.. i need to give each of them some time before i rule them all out, but they are pretty wackado lately too...

So yea i dunno right now.

By the way the link to what i said that you linked.. that is about how to quantify wealth (how to attached a number to it)... that **is** a very complicated issue. But simply understand wealth for this concept... as in, what does the word mean and what do i mean in how I'm using it... since we arent trying to quantify it but rather just explain it, it is a much easier concept.

@icedquinn @realcaseyrollins

@Romaq A bit hyperbolic, but ill let it stand :)

@mk

The production of things that have utility to the population. Its not a terribly hard thing really even though it can get quite complicated if your trying to map out real world models. But the idea of "what is wealth" I think isnt too hard for most to understand honestly.

@icedquinn @realcaseyrollins

@trinsec Oh dont be a cry babee, you are just hapbee im not talking about pollenticians. Besides its practically winter, the only thing still in bloom is the bee-gonias.

@trinsec You are such a buzz kill!

@mk

That only occurse when it happens through increasing the money supply and distributing it.

When the value comes from the generation of wealth (such as from running a business) then no reason to expect it would result in hyper inflation.

@icedquinn @realcaseyrollins

@trinsec Damn, sorry I must have bumbled it. I will try to beehive myself.

@trinsec Stop pollen my leg, we both know I was just winging it, and I didnt really mean bees-ness. Thats why I didnt charge for the joke, it was a free-bee.

Interesting fact of the day: Bees born in may are very indecisive. In fact may bees are the most indecisive of all the bees.

@icedquinn

Only results in inflation if the money supply were to rise and given away to make it happen. However if it happened because people started businesses and made things that were sold, and thus generated wealth, then it wouldnt result in inflation.

@lillyfinch

Indeed they are.

> Where did I mentioned that?

Either I misread or you misspoke.. either way not important since you clarified.

> It is self-harm therefore it’s immoral, I posted research study that mentioned the harm of tattooing on the immune system.

Ok so i think i got your system down then... so this leaves me thining there are tons of examples that would be immoral by your example, but seems rather absurd (and i mentioned some.

* Tattoos and scarification - We covered this

* It is immortal every single time you eat anything unhealth.. a life of anything less than salads and exercise every day is immoral.

* Even little things like staying up late one night makes you an immoral person

> The most basic example is: strict heterosexuals would rarely find “inspiration” in realistic depictions of gay sex, and vice versa.

While I agree this doesnt actually happen, I do think the fear is there all the same for hte aforementioned reasons.

> Similarly, is a “normal” person enticed to sex with children by watching paedophilia? I can’t speak for others, but my intuition (and my own experience) is: definitely not. Ditto about rape.

I guess it depends on what age we are talking about. Once the child is old enough to have breasts I think even a person who isnt a pedophile who saw such a person in a sex seen, assuming they were otherwise attractive, might feel some arousal... I mean raping a 4 year old... ewww i dont think any normal person would get aroused by that... but a 15 or 16 year old? I think that is a very real possiblity, after all they have "devloped" by that age, so the formula is there at least.

@georgetakei I rarely support wars, least of all the kind the USA gets in. But ukraine I'd support as there is a very clear right and wrong, and it involves the unilateral and unprovoked invasion of another nation.

@pawsplay

> COVID is disproportionately fatal to the elderly and people with disabilities.

Elderly yes, disabled no... i mean depends on your disability but for the most part, no. I thought me having asthema, for example, would put me at higher risk. Turns out at worse it doesnt effect my risk according to my doctor, at best i am actually at a slightly lower risk for some reason.

I am also disabled due to a spinal injury, also has no effect.

In fact I cant think of too many disabled people who would be at a higher risk except for a handful of things like diabetics or immune compromised...

> Our do-nothing attitude toward the virus isn't a policy failure. It's a cost-cutting measure by the worst, most powerful human beings on Earth.

I think the people have given up, long before policy... People just decided they were done. Even when the mask mandates were in force everyone decided to stop wearing them. I would say the policy, or lack there of, isnt the play here. It started with a decision the people made, at which points the mandates rolled off the books as there was little support to renew them if the public wasnt going to follow it.
