Please enlighten me with what you know. This should prove most entertaining.
- I bet. I had a chuckle reading your comment, then I realised that it is cruel to laugh at the economically illiterate, ignorant people, who have been brainwashed for this long and are so married into the system they can't get out of the Matrix, so to speak. It's like having fun at the expense of somebody with leprosy, sure sure, it's amusing but also a bit cruel.
To my knowledge, there is no country that actually uses gold as legal money. You personally might value it as a currency, but that is not a majority opinion.
- yes, yes, majority opinion is so important. Majority opinion gave you the economy you have today, the bubbles you had in the last 20 years, the wars, including wars on terror, drugs, etc. All those things won of-course. Majority opinion is nothing to sneeze at, it's like a stampede, it's not intelligent or sentient, but it sure is deadly.
real estate has actually done a better job of keeping its "purchasing power".
- until it doesn't. Property is not liquid, gold is. Try and sell your house in Detroit to somebody in Taiwan to buy plane tickets to South Korea, figure that one out. With gold, on the other hand, this is never a problem.
I'll also note that the very definition of an "inflation hedge" is an investment.
- I really do not need an economic advice from anybody to know what inflation hedge is. When government turns on the printing presses, implements wage and price controls, the shelves in the stores go empty. Is a can of food an investment? Well, for a very broad definition of 'investment', however it is an inflation hedge and it does cause shortages in countries where governments try to steal with printing or sudden currency exchange mechanisms that are also theft. Gold is an inflation hedge, people buy gold when they stop trusting other currencies. Other currencies are also inflation hedges. A Swiss Franc is an inflation hedge against a US dollar for somebody who sells a dollar to buy a Franc because they are worried about the falling value of the dollar. A Franc is not an investment.
Now, why do I bother with you? I guess it is a good deed to try and save the sick, but why bother really? Do I need you? No. Still, I will finish replying to this comment.
You're going to have to explain this conspiracy theory of yours a little more.
- oh yeah, it is a 'conspiracy'. The hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic was a 'conspiracy'. They also suspended gold standard before initiating the massive printing.
Greek hyperinflation in the 44, Zimbabwe, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Malaysia.
Some government don't technically lead to 'hyper' but still have gigantic rate of inflation, I lived through a few episodes back in the USSR myself. Argentina... Even Venezuela today, not necessarily 'hyper' but very high inflation leading to the same behaviour - people clearing out the shelves, buying foreign currencies and by the way, gold if they can.
Governments (through central banks) can encourage inflation by raising their interest rates
- oh, this is PRECIOUS, just precious. Governments encouraging inflation by raising interest rates:) Oh my my my, how hard it is to stay serious while replying to such amazing examples of total and complete ignorance.
Higher interest rate reduces inflation, doesn't encourage it. Savings are encouraged by higher interest rates, lower interest rates discourage savings and allow borrowing more and more since it seems to be cheaper, so it causes issuance of bonds by governments, that are then causing inflation in various other systems, such as foreign currencies being printed to buy the bonds. In case of Clinton era in the USA the Fed refinanced most of its long term debt by pushing interest rates dow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you think you know simething? Gold is not an investment, never was, it is money, its function is to keep purchasing power and be an inflation hedge. Governments produce inflation, unless you are under a mistaken belief that central banks are not really controlled by governments and don't really act for the short term benefit of the current organization. Governments produce inflation and sometimes hyper inflation that take down economies.
As to taking down governments, that's a worth while life goal, call it a hobby for the sake of freedom. Have to accomplish something positive while on this planet.
Wrong, government has nothing until it steals from those, who build the economy. Then it buys its 'legitimacy' from the mob with the proceeds from the stolen loot. Capitalism without free market brings fascism in form of collectivist government mixing with the biggest businesses. Things are built by individual effort, including private security. Don't worry about me, I am not hiring where you lice for quite a while now.
Are you their accountant to have all of this info? Whatever they are doing with their own money is their business anyway, nobody should be paying any income or wealth taxes to any government AFAIC.
What 'their taxes'? The money is not in the USA, it wasn't made in the USA and basically these companies font need to bring it into the USA. They are already out. They just need to use that money where it is instead of keeping it in cash, which can be inflated away by the governments. What they should do is buy inflation hedges with it, gold, income producing assets, maybe other companies. I would use some of that money to take down governments, but that's me.
So there is all this money sitting in those corporate accounts, the politicians are salivating just thinking about all that dough that was created by those businesses.
I suggest that those businesses buy gold to hedge against inflation imposed upon them by the politicians.
Also, FYI, you dickhead, Ford never paid his workers out of any desire to give them more than they deserved, he paid them exactly what he needed to stop turn over of highly trained, conveyor belt workers that he trained in his factories. Of-course he was completely anti-union, so am I.
Frankly I have no doubt that if you could get away with it you would be one too. In fact I fear telling you this may inspire you to relocate to one of those countries in order to do so.
- yeah, because slave labour makes for such a 'wonderful' work force in a company producing IT based products and services, slaves do wonders in that area.
You want gratitude for giving jobs ? Fuck you. Gratitude is reserved for things you do to benefit only somebody else.
- no, motherfucker, I expect a full day of work for the money I pay, nothing more than that. But you, on the other hand, you are feeling all high and mighty with being moderately well off in a country full of such poverty, that 66 bucks a month makes them lick your boots.
Your projection is hilarious and obvious. Go die somewhere.
I that a bloody rupee you are talking about? An Indian giving his or her opinion on the minimum wage in the West is fucking hilarious.
India is the epitome of off shoring for American, Canadian and many European and other countries, especially in IT. Yeah, yeah, you are hiring people with amounts of money that amount to 66USD.
SIXTY SIX US DOLLARS that you are paying somebody in a month for cleaning and you will fucking talk about anything here? GO FUCK YOURSELF. Even my guys in Ukraine make 10-20 times as much, though of-course they are DEVELOPERS.
You think you can run a factory floor or an IT or any other serious company and just let people come and go willy nilly? A fucking jesus christ on a pogo stick, you let your cleaning lady to go away for 3 months on maternity leave, don't you feel special.
If your cleaning lady had to learn for 6-12 months to become a useful part of the team, you would be stuck without a cleaning lady for 3 months.
In short, fuck you, you gigantic, gargantuan piece of stinking shit.
Government should not be in road policing business at all because roads shouldn't be 'public', all roads need to be private (and they used to be before usurpation of power).
As to entitlements and obligations, those are constantly enforced by government. A very simple example of-course is people with disabilities. Just because some people have disabilities, governments enforce obligations upon individual businesses to provide entitlements to people with disabilities, whether a businesses actually cares about that segment of the market or not (and regardless of whether it makes sense for a business to care about a segment of the market that may be completely irrelevant for that business).
So say the guy has paid for a year of use of the road, so he's entitled to use it. Or perhaps he just straight out busts onto it without paying.
- this entire argument is crazy, people shouldn't be forced to pay for something for a year that they had no use for that year.
Based on reviewing this case history, the court noted that:...the above summary of the development of the law reveals a trajectory in which enthusiasm for protection of "structure, sequence and organization" peaked in the 1980s, most notably in the Third Circuitâ(TM)s Whelan decision. That phrase has not been re-used by the Ninth Circuit since Johnson Controls in 1989, a decision affirming preliminary injunction. Since then, the trend of the copyright decisions has been more cautious. This trend has been driven by fidelity to Section 102(b) and recognition of the danger of conferring a monopoly by copyright over what Congress expressly warned should be conferred only by patent. This is not to say that infringement of the structure, sequence and organization is a dead letter. To the contrary, it is not a dead letter. It is to say that the Whelan approach has given way to the Computer Associates approach, including in our own circuit. See Sega Enters., Ltd. v. Accolade, Inc., 977 F.2d 1510, 1525 (9th Cir. 1992); Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 35 F.3d 1435, 1445 (9th Cir. 1994).[16]
Appeals court:
Oracle appealed to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, and Google filed a cross-appeal on the literal copying claim.[28][29] The hearing was held on December 4, 2013,[30][31] and the judgement was released on May 9, 2014. The appeals court reversed the district court on the central issue, holding that the "structure, sequence and organization" of an API was copyrightable. It also ruled for Oracle regarding the small amount of literal copying, holding that it was not de minimis. The case was remanded to the district court for reconsideration of the fair use defense.[6]
There is only one real problem in all of this and that is government protection of monopolies based on copyrights and patents. Government must not be helping anybody with anything, including people or businesses in their business models.
Again, you are wrong on you idiotic statement 'you have not created anything'. I run a business, I own products and services that a number of clients are using, I built code for the last 20 years. I hold a patent, I also wrote a few articles, recorded some sounds, shot a million pictures, whatever. All those things have copyright protections.
My position is that it is wrong to have government guaranteeing any of these protections.
Ha, and what if you are absolutely wrong about it? I am against all copyright and patent government guarantees and I also profit from these protections. I consider these protections to be wrong.
Well obviously APIs are copyrightable, pretty much any 'original' work is copyrightable. The real problem is that there is such a concept as government protected copyright (and patent) in the first place.
Well then, you are a stupid little cunt, aren't you. 6 times minimum wage would be what, over 80k (in the USA, federal minimum is 7.25, can be more depending on a state) plus taxes puts her at around 95k plus all those benefits. In Canada that would be what, about 128k plus taxes and benefits, we are talking over 145k. In Germany your 6 times would be 106056euro plus all that the their crap. You are a millionaire at least, to be able to afford a cleaning lady at a salary that, where the amounts let me run an office with 13people in it. Sure sure, whatever.
Actually AFAIC government must not be in road policing business at all, however this example does not have entitlement part vsbobligation part. Who is obliged to do anything to provide another with an entitlement in your strawman?
Yeah, well, I guess she can run a family on that, ha? How many hours a day does she do for you, 4.. a week?
She takes a vacation, you pay her? She gets pregnant, you are going to hire her back after a year of somebody else working for you? You are going to have 2 cleaning ladies cleaning after your dirty ass?
since when have we become so fucking selfish that any other group trying to improve their lot immediately means we have to fight it?
- since the time that these 'imbalances' became government required entitlements for some and obligations for others. I will never support anything that puts an obligation on me by any government.
don't deserve to be able to take a little break at least once a year
- nobody deserves anything unless they pay for it one way or another and I am not a charity to give you anything for free. However people working for me take breaks, we negotiate.
if they get pregnant they don't deserve to know they will have a job to come back to in order to feed their child
- I could not care less what you think somebody deserves or doesn't, certainly nobody deserves to have anything from me for free. Again, I can absolutely allow a good worker to come back, why not? They cannot expect it because of any government, it's between them and myself.
I am not Hayek and I conceive my ideas without any help.
Without a floor price, without some things being non-negotiable
- nothing is 'non-negotiable. As to floor prices - that's pure centrally planned bullshit propaganda designed to prevent markets from figuring out ways to compete with the established businesses on price and other qualifiers of their service.
A service or a product absolutely can go down in price, that's the entire purpose of the economy, to make things cheaper, faster, better, higher quality, with more choices. If there was a non-negotiable floor price on food, this of billions population today would starve. Since prices are going down, salaries will go down as they should as well. Inflation is expansion of money supply and in a fake money environment it is achieved by printing and unsubstantiated borrowing for consumption, this kills the economy, which then has to restart from a much lower standard of living.
I don't force my people to work overtime, they do it to make more money, I don't pay any form of 'overtime', I pay per hour, on the hour. Don't like it? Fuck off, find a different employer.
The blood of all of Stalin's victims are on YOUR hands
- ha ha ha ha!!!! Fuck off, the blood of Stalin's victims are on your greedy little, worthless hands, the hands that are constantly looking for a wallet in another guy's pocket.
.. but time lost, is lost forever,
- I don't own people who work for me, they are there on their own volition, making hundreds of percentages more than the counterparts in their country. Until you hired a person and paid them a salary allowing them to actually fucking live, go fuck yourself, you moralizing asswipe!
When you coerce people into horrible working conditions which they have no choice but to reject unless they want to starve too much...
- ha ha ha ha, that's right, they work for me because I pay better than the competition, or they can start their own business, whatever. Everybody has a choice, they can absolutely take a different job and it will pay less or maybe not. Every person in this world makes choices every fucking day, you patronizing piece of shit.
"Religion is the only reason the poor don't kill the rich
- I think today that would be reality TV actually. But like I said, the world is global. It is not an impossible problem to move production somewhere where an effort into creating a fucking job is actually appreciate, you dumbfuck.
yet you claim you have a RIGHT to PERPETUATE that poverty ? And what's worse you declare any attempt by the non-sociopaths in society to alleviate that a little "stealing" ?
- HA! It is stealing. You think forcing an employer to take a hit to the bottom line for whatever reason is not stealing? You motherfucker! I am so happy that the world is global and I don't have to create jobs around your sorry ass, people who work for me compete to work for me and do whatever it takes to get to work for me because they know it is better than so many other things they could be doing.
- and that is the WRONG position, it is between the employer and the employee to negotiate it. An employer may as well choose to provide this particular perk in order to be more competitive if good employees want this perk. There is nothing wrong at all between 2 parties negotiating or an employer deciding to pro-actively include it into the contract to attract more or higher quality people.
The problem is exactly as you mentioned it that government gets into it and can prevent contracts from happening where employer does not see any benefit for his company to provide these benefits. It should be left up to individuals (employers and employees) to provide it and to choose to work with it or without it. Government doing this is a tax, every tax is an additional cost of running a business and every new cost brings up the question of cost benefit, where in a system that is taxed too much the employers do something else. They hire few people, they outsource / offshore, they move.
I am currently hiring a few more people, but I am hiring them in a country where I have an office that I set up specifically to reduce government interference with my business. I refuse to hire people where my costs are artificially increased by the coercion/oppression of government. This automatically makes people in the countries where I used to hire less productive, because they do not participate in my economy.
- I am not an American, I lived there for some time, I lived in Canada, I lived in Germany and a few other places. I have a few employees in those countries, but the vast majority of my employees are where the government cannot force me to do things I do not want to do at all. If a person working for me asks for a leave, they get a leave, but that's my decision based on the situation, so far worked out pretty well, nobody complained.
However my business is my private property and I will operate it the way I want to operate it, not how some oppressive political system wants to force me to buy votes at my expense.
paying your fair share
- fuck you, go fuck yourself, you piece of shit with your fucking piece of shit slogans. Any time a piece of shit tells me about a 'fair share' I know what a thieving piece of shit I am dealing with.
As to minimum wage, most of my employees are below the so called 'minimum wage' set in countries where I no longer hire.
Ha ha, every country, ha? Well, we'll see how this goes now, when every country involved in all of this theft and redistribution sees their standard of living crash through the floor because the world is global today and it is possible to avoid having the money you make being stolen. But the point is, people get lower wages because they accept something else as payment.
Maternity leave is a form of payment, so people who work as permanent workers get lower wages per hour than contractors or consultants do, same with all that crap. People are already paid less because instead of cold hard cash they choose these so called 'benefits'.
- that's a form of payment that can be provided instead of a higher salary. This is completely up to each individual to negotiate with the employer, government has no place in it.
childcare assistance
- there shouldn't be any welfare, any form of theft through any form of taxes and redistribution to anybody, including to people with children. You don't have money for your children? Shouldn't have them.
guaranteed maternity leave
- same thing. In lieu of higher wages you want to have this? Ok, negotiate with your employer. Government has no place in this.
promise to leave abortion rights untouched
- people should be free to abort whatever.
stop fighting against letting women have ready access to birth control
- as long as she is buying her medication on her own, it's nobody's business.
Easy to say when you have all that government locking up people who might help themselves and limiting the number of people who might be desperate enough to take that wallet.
- I don't mind taking care of those people myself, but why bother, there is already a system for it.
But it occurs to me, you sure seem to feel entitled to keep your money when the taxman comes knocking. He disagrees.
- it occurs to me you don't know the meaning of the word 'entitled'. The state surely feels entitled to my money, which is why I do what needs to be done...

Inflation is expansion of money supply and in a fake money environment it is achieved by printing and unsubstantiated borrowing for consumption, this kills the economy, which then has to restart from a much lower standard of living.
I don't force my people to work overtime, they do it to make more money, I don't pay any form of 'overtime', I pay per hour, on the hour. Don't like it? Fuck off, find a different employer.
The blood of all of Stalin's victims are on YOUR hands
- ha ha ha ha!!!! Fuck off, the blood of Stalin's victims are on your greedy little, worthless hands, the hands that are constantly looking for a wallet in another guy's pocket.
.. but time lost, is lost forever,
- I don't own people who work for me, they are there on their own volition, making hundreds of percentages more than the counterparts in their country. Until you hired a person and paid them a salary allowing them to actually fucking live, go fuck yourself, you moralizing asswipe!
When you coerce people into horrible working conditions which they have no choice but to reject unless they want to starve too much...
- ha ha ha ha, that's right, they work for me because I pay better than the competition, or they can start their own business, whatever. Everybody has a choice, they can absolutely take a different job and it will pay less or maybe not. Every person in this world makes choices every fucking day, you patronizing piece of shit.
"Religion is the only reason the poor don't kill the rich
- I think today that would be reality TV actually. But like I said, the world is global. It is not an impossible problem to move production somewhere where an effort into creating a fucking job is actually appreciate, you dumbfuck.
yet you claim you have a RIGHT to PERPETUATE that poverty ? And what's worse you declare any attempt by the non-sociopaths in society to alleviate that a little "stealing" ?
- HA! It is stealing. You think forcing an employer to take a hit to the bottom line for whatever reason is not stealing? You motherfucker! I am so happy that the world is global and I don't have to create jobs around your sorry ass, people who work for me compete to work for me and do whatever it takes to get to work for me because they know it is better than so many other things they could be doing.
I absolutely flatl
Everything that you deserve is coming to you, asswipe.
no employer can DENY this leave.
- and that is the WRONG position, it is between the employer and the employee to negotiate it. An employer may as well choose to provide this particular perk in order to be more competitive if good employees want this perk. There is nothing wrong at all between 2 parties negotiating or an employer deciding to pro-actively include it into the contract to attract more or higher quality people.
The problem is exactly as you mentioned it that government gets into it and can prevent contracts from happening where employer does not see any benefit for his company to provide these benefits. It should be left up to individuals (employers and employees) to provide it and to choose to work with it or without it. Government doing this is a tax, every tax is an additional cost of running a business and every new cost brings up the question of cost benefit, where in a system that is taxed too much the employers do something else. They hire few people, they outsource / offshore, they move.
I am currently hiring a few more people, but I am hiring them in a country where I have an office that I set up specifically to reduce government interference with my business. I refuse to hire people where my costs are artificially increased by the coercion/oppression of government. This automatically makes people in the countries where I used to hire less productive, because they do not participate in my economy.
- I am not an American, I lived there for some time, I lived in Canada, I lived in Germany and a few other places. I have a few employees in those countries, but the vast majority of my employees are where the government cannot force me to do things I do not want to do at all. If a person working for me asks for a leave, they get a leave, but that's my decision based on the situation, so far worked out pretty well, nobody complained.
However my business is my private property and I will operate it the way I want to operate it, not how some oppressive political system wants to force me to buy votes at my expense.
paying your fair share
- fuck you, go fuck yourself, you piece of shit with your fucking piece of shit slogans. Any time a piece of shit tells me about a 'fair share' I know what a thieving piece of shit I am dealing with.
As to minimum wage, most of my employees are below the so called 'minimum wage' set in countries where I no longer hire.
Ha ha, every country, ha? Well, we'll see how this goes now, when every country involved in all of this theft and redistribution sees their standard of living crash through the floor because the world is global today and it is possible to avoid having the money you make being stolen. But the point is, people get lower wages because they accept something else as payment.
Maternity leave is a form of payment, so people who work as permanent workers get lower wages per hour than contractors or consultants do, same with all that crap. People are already paid less because instead of cold hard cash they choose these so called 'benefits'.
paid family leave
- that's a form of payment that can be provided instead of a higher salary. This is completely up to each individual to negotiate with the employer, government has no place in it.
childcare assistance
- there shouldn't be any welfare, any form of theft through any form of taxes and redistribution to anybody, including to people with children. You don't have money for your children? Shouldn't have them.
guaranteed maternity leave
- same thing. In lieu of higher wages you want to have this? Ok, negotiate with your employer. Government has no place in this.
promise to leave abortion rights untouched
- people should be free to abort whatever.
stop fighting against letting women have ready access to birth control
- as long as she is buying her medication on her own, it's nobody's business.
Easy to say when you have all that government locking up people who might help themselves and limiting the number of people who might be desperate enough to take that wallet.
- I don't mind taking care of those people myself, but why bother, there is already a system for it.
But it occurs to me, you sure seem to feel entitled to keep your money when the taxman comes knocking. He disagrees.
- it occurs to me you don't know the meaning of the word 'entitled'. The state surely feels entitled to my money, which is why I do what needs to be done...
