@ben2point0 I don’t think you understood my comment.

@ben2point0 no, cheap labour is only possible by massive slavery. Hi-tech mass-manufacturing has manufacture + development costs and inventors to be paid. Slavery requires none of this.

@observer855 I don’t see this happening. I see those of us with tech knowledge making sure more people have it and can use it for minimal cost or zero – open-source and as close to it as possible. I see the moneyed elite turning to trying to enslave us all, and us using technology to hide what our production is PERSONALLY by working less or not at all for the elite, that is of course until they actually jail us for refusing to work for them, which is coming next

@boots920 your bible talk is getting old and nutty. The 10 commandments are a great thing, I can say looking at it from a sensible atheist position. But much of the bible is useless and many bible followers are actually the problem, not solution.

Hey we don’t get a choice on spirituality – all taken away by IBM punch cards and some inbred idiots.
We didn’t even stand a chance, other idiots are making the de-scions for us.
Social Engineering – sucks ass ok , no go peddle your crap somewhere else.
I want to lead a moral life , impossible when the moral fiber of mankind has been eliminated.

@isawanangel2
You think that’s bad – the American people have been working for illegal currency since 1971 – bills of credit Fed Notes all illegal – no one gives a rat’s ass, ignorance in action.

@ytgv3fc7
Gee asshole why do you like genocide – please share your thoughts as the central bank counterfeits mankind into dust, little hamsters chasing worthless paper.
You like death and destruction and elimination of US society, please tell me why?

@schulwitz productivity is way up. The actual number of products out per worker-hour proves it. No one here was advocating price controls, you’re being foolish. We have ‘price controls’ in what is called ‘wage-suppression’. This is what happens when you are “over-paid” when working more than $2/hr because slaves will work for that much in food or less, so you now must work for the same or you are advocating “price controls”.

@boots920 Hitler’s a Nazi, plus the stuff you’ve been spewing is nothing more than the bullshit propaganda YOU claim all media is.
July 25th, 2010 at 7:00 am
@flawedbeauty82 Gold price is a truth, not propaganda
Exactly clap clap all bull shit – world has been a clown show since 1971
Ya see the Gold price is a truth, can’t lie
Now explain why
1776 $20 in paper gold oz
Now
2010 $1200 in paper gold oz – we all end up dead over this BULL SHIT

@flawedbeauty82
So can you tell me why Genocide of Mankind is good ? I’m confused on this ?

@ytgv3fc7
.
Productivity is not up, if this is not obvious to you, open your eyes: skyrocketing unemployment, increases in government bureaucracy, and the collapse of American manufacturing.
.
Yes, we have more products, but this is due to our monetary policy and the fact that China’s currency has not been allowed to rise. If I buy a $10 million house on credit, it doesn’t indicate that I’m productive, it might just mean I’ve got debt.
.
BTW, wage controls are price controls by definition.

If you’re a total moron then yes worth watching TRAITOR

But you’re a little paid to type cunt right ? You’re ignorant twat…you’ll pay.
July 25th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
@boots920 You’re a traitor if you want news that actually investigates things? That’s what the media is SUPPOSED to do.
July 25th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
@boots920 Wow, what part of The Bible teaches that attitude?
July 25th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
@boots920 Who’s advocating genocide, exactly?
July 25th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
@boots920 Wasn’t Jesus considered a new age heathen, in His era? I certainly know that Jesus was a socialist by modern standards, PLUS He would have shunned your lousy attitude.
July 25th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
@boots920 If you want to be taken seriously, you lunatic, drop the melodrama and insults.
July 25th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Class struggle again and again. You would think that after all the progress in the 20th Century that we wouldn’t be talking about class struggle in the 21st Century. What a pity that Wall Street and Congress are in bed together. There are no REAL candidates for change that could actually make the ballots for election. Banks are shutting down and/or being swallowed up by bigger banks. We are looking at 5 or 6 banks controlling everything. Not good. Robert Pollin is wishful thinking.
July 25th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
clearly this guy hasn’t read or just ’skimmed over’ the countless articles written by highly educated scholars on how government imposed price controls(minimum wage) actually drive businesses out or underground. Continued reliance on governments to do anything intelligent and constructive is equal to insanity!
July 25th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Yeah, more loan guarantees. That sounds like a fantastic solution to a problem helped along by government loan guarantees.
Where does he propose we get the money to give out so people can go spend it?
July 25th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
But your paid to type right ?
Read your Bible, Now GENOCIDE OF MANKIND – CAN’T STOP IT.
0 morals in society – 10 commandments since 1948
0 rule of law since 1913 (Central Banking Communism)
0 common sense – Article 1 sec 8 and 10 gold and silver coin only by LAW.
Thank the American assholes for destroying our society and the GENOCIDE OF MANKIND – real pricks.
