It's crazy to think we have a choice where to buy fast food. First world problems.

Bad example. Musk would have gone bankrupt in 2009 if Tesla didn't get their part of the auto bailout. That bailout has made him the richest man in the world, because his gambles were bailed out.
I believe the economy is a stacked deck of cards. Cantillon effect etc. A large home-builder can build on environmentally sensitive areas like swampland. If you're a small-time builder, you're not going to build anything on any swampland, unless you bribe the correct people. There's an area on 148th in Bellevue near a Walmart where a bunch of big houses are/have been built by a big home-builder on a swamp. How'd that happen? $$$.
I go to Qdoba instead of Chipotle. Tastes 2X as good.

You're wrong. You don't have less because others have more
Lol dipshit.
Nice propaganda, but there is nothing middle class about hockey.
Most hockey is very middle class. Being rich can't buy you being tough.

The thing is guys like me hated the EV subsides that Musk got. The guys crying about it now wanted the subsidies bad
Can't have it both ways. I want cheap gas and simple gas powered cars that are affordable without subsidies
Once government starts picking winners and losers they can't stop
You will never in your lifetime see a democrat party pay down the deficit. The leadership literally does not believe in it. Giving more money to the government is the absolutely wrong thing to do.
How is that ever going to happen when you Democrats were treating even USAID workers who run bullshit NGO scams for millions, not billions, of dollars as heroes and refusing to allow any money be cut from even that waste of money?
Musk became hated the second he formed DOGE
Now ask yourself why
And why would you support the people who now hate him if you want to cut the deficit?
Musk pays more taxes himself than anyone. Add in his companies employees and investors and he's supporting the government
How is claiming he's the problem going to solve the problem
Again - I hated Musk when everyone was loving him. I hate EVs and green subsidies
Everyone hates the GOP and always have but that stopped being a reason to vote for retards years ago

He’s paid back the initial subsidies +1000 times over in taxes. All the wind power handouts won’t be paid back. Because they aren’t real businesses.
Yeah the zero sum thing being a crock of shit is not understood by the leftists.
Their real beef should be with the Fed funding deficit spending and big corps benefitting from basically zero borrowing rates and high regulation which is what has actually led to consolidation and makes them actioning their greed possible.
This is the problem with a global economy.
There's no reason that America could not turn into just another 2nd world country with almost no middle class. Capital can move around the globe easily now and does not have to stay domestic employing Americans with good paying jobs.

Wealth is created when there is free and fair trade. If a farmer trades a chicken to a cobbler for a pair of shoes both parties are better off. When you need the government to determine what you get for your labor you get the USSR. The marxist theory of the labor value determining the "true" price of goods is delusional. The same people pushing that pile of economic crap are the same ones driving down US wages by importing cheap foreign labor. The US Chamber of Commerce doesn't believe in the labor theory of value they know it is supply and demand and they just want more cheap labor. The dems actually believe in communism.
