You don't understand capitalism, which isn't to buy more stuff.

It's to PRODUCE & SELL more stuff--USEFUL stuff, and services--and INVEST the earnings, not to waste the money buying useless things.

It's the poor whiners and complainers who buy useless crap that they can't afford and can never pull themselves out of the hole.

They need a big dose of behavior modification.

Not more free stuff.

That was the old-fashioned capitalism of the past. For the last several decades, capitalism has been purely about maximizing shareholder profit.

It is short-sighted and obviously doesn't work. But that's what we have.

This is what needs to be fixed. And it's more doable than a lot of other things proposed here.

It works fine.

What did you type your post with?

An Iphone or Android?

An Apple computer, a Dell, an Acer, a Chromebook?

Who do you think "made that"?

Obama?

No, capitalism made it.

You and the rest of the socialists have so much value and good created for you by capitalism that it's like water to a goldfish in a fishbowl. You're surrounded by it so it's invisible to you and you take it for granted.

If you disagree, build a campfire, and communicate with Pochohantas Warren via smoke signal.

Self segregation counts too.


The small private school my children attended is more culturally diverse than public schools in the region.


Your child is completely surrounded by wealthy kids. There might be one or two on scholarship but please stop this insipid retort.


Not np. I grew up as a white girl in PG county where at my public school the black children were ill prepared for class and trouble makers, period. That was my personal experience. It hurt the class as a whole, I spent most of my elementary years waiting for a teacher/teachers to discipline or remove the trouble makers from my classroom. You know why I wasn't a troublemaker? My parents would have beat the "cr..." out of me, I was told to respect the other students and the teachers and I did just that .... I was afraid of my parents and while they never hit me or my siblings, I believed they would and that was enough to keep me in line. And I needed to be kept in line, as do most kids. Classroom time was a joke most of the time because our teachers had to make up for the homework not done (which everyone knows is a review of that days lesson) by reteaching a lesson the next day. Why couldn't these parents help their children do the homework or at least make them sit down and try. I will tell you that these kids had no problem doing the work in a classroom so I could never understand why they could not do that same work at home. My only answer was that their parents didn't do what mine and most of my friends parents did, we had homework time not right after school but always before dinner. My children go to private school because I lived the nightmare of going to school in my lower income lifestyle and I refuse to have them do the same. If you want your child to do better stop blaming whites! Get your child to bed on time, feed your children breakfast, have them do their homework, help them do their homework, have them read frequently, in short, be a parent. Make sure they are at school every single day, that is YOUR job. It is not my problem that you cannot do these simple things to insure that your child has the same advantages as any other child in this world. Get off your but and be a parent, otherwise do not have children. Stop blaming every other person for your failures.

I agree. This is exactly the problem, wage stagnation. What's the solution?


The solution is to work hard so that you are qualified for a better job. If your goal is to work as a cashier at McD for all of your career, it's going to be hard to earn a living wage. That is a starter job or a second income job. It's not intended to be a career.


Oh, I see. You don't know what wage stagnation means.

Nevermind.


Right. It's difficult to improve your situation when you have mouths to feed. So let's raise and fix wages for these jobs.



Maybe if you can’t support mouths to feed you shouldn’t have them. If you are limited in your earning potential and cannot support a family, don’t have a family.


Don’t you understand the barriers to that flippant idea? Erin and Keisha. Both pregnant. Unmarried. Erin is on a gap year finding herself before college. Keisha is also just out of high school. Working at McDonalds. She hopes to go to nursing school at the community college. Erin calls her mom and has an appointment for an abortion before the week is up. Keisha asks some friends. They say call planned parenthood. She gets an appointment. Her moms car broke down. Gets on the bus. She’s late. Clinic is closed. Can’t go tomorrow has to work. Calls back. Needs a paystub and ID to get a sliding scale price that she can barely afford. Doesn’t have her license. $30 and another long bus ride to the DMV. her mom can’t find her birth certificate. And on and on. Next August Erin goes to a private LAC. Keisha keeps working at McDonald’s and hoping she can get babysitters for her baby so she doesn’t miss too many shifts.

And the cycle repeats itself.


That's easy. Erin and Keisha keep their legs closed since both are too stupid, apparently, to use birth control.

Yep, I knew to get ahead I had to spend as little of what I made and I had to have an education. I was willing to sacrifice to get ahead.

PP wasn't attacking capitalism. He was attacking the dominance of shareholder maximization since the 19080's among those who run corporations. If you read the Forbes articles posted earlier, you will see this was pushed as good management in the 1980s, but it has led to companies being run for next quarter's financial results and not for the long-term good of the firm and its customers.

The Forbes articles are well worth reading.

I agree. These girls are well aware of HOW to get pregnant, they need to not do that, personal responsibility. I have seen this very scene play out over and over in my lifetime to the point that I have no sympathy. Simply tell the mothers who receive social benefits that those benefits disappear if their kids get pregnant or don't attend school.

Or the a-holes they had sex with shouldn’t have ejaculated so irresponsibly. I place the blame fully on the men.

You don't get it PP.

The entire platform of the Democrat party, their entire strategy to win national (and local elections), is premised on the idea that minorities, and in particular African Americans, are inherently inferior to whites, and incapable of achieving anything absent major government interference and intervention in their lives, both financially, behaviorally, and otherwise.

Thus, large segments of the AA community have developed "learned helplessness" and actually believe in their own inferiority.

And, they are extremely defensive about this illusionary inferiority complex. They believe that this non-existent inferiority is caused by non-existent wide spread societal racism.

Why can't AA parents in these poor schools like P.G. get their kids to do homework?

It's racism's fault. It's whitey's fault.

Why do these children keep getting pregnant and the baby daddys are no where to be found, or in jail?

It's racism's fault. It's whitey's fault.

This is what they teach in high schools and on college campuses.

AAs have been largely brainwashed to believe they have no agency.

Racist whitey is in full control, or so they are led to believe, and that means AAs are completely powerless.

This brainwashing serves the agenda of the Democrat party. If the Democrat party doesn't get a vast majority of the minority vote then they have no chance of winning a national election. It is ONLY because the democrats routinely get 95% of the AA vote that they ever have any chance of winning.

In order to continue getting such a lopside vote, the Democratic brainwashing campaign must continue.

"You black folks are incompetent, but never fear, your Democrat masters will give you money and handouts, but you must vote for us, or the handouts will stop."

It's all outrageous nonsense of course.

Think about how STUPID, HOW RACIST it is for the socialists, progressives, and democrats posting on this board to actually state that they don't think black people know how to use the public library.

Yes, Democrats, liberals, progressives and far too many black people themselves are actually deluded enough to believe this sort of crap.

That's very misogynistic of you, to deny Erin and Keisha their agency as women, who have 100% control over what they do with their own bodies.

The hypothetical did not state that Erin or Keisha were raped, so there is no basis for you to make such an implied assumption.

The CREDIT--not the "blame"--for Erin and Keisha being "sex positive" rests entirely and 100% with Erin and Keisha, because as women, they have 100% control over what they choose to do with their bodies.

Having sex or not having sex; using birth control or not; getting an abortion or not; having a child or not; all is 100% the woman's responsibility, and that's what the law says, whether you like it or not, you misogynist.
