Right, I was just responding to the question, whose posing is often used to suggest that the US is the best of all possible resource allocation worlds. I don't want to live under a regime like the CCP, but we did just run this experiment and the U.S. system of resource allocation failed miserably.
- api 6y agoI don't think it's the best of all possible worlds, but it is better than some. Only a small percentage of billionaires do incredibly valuable things, but those who do are doing things that I can't imagine the US government of today ever doing. The US government would be having meetings to schedule the meeting to discuss the meeting schedule, or fighting over culture war issues.
- ajmadesc 6y agoYou don't think that the culture war issues are manufactured to distract the masses from endless war, tax cuts, corporate subsidies, etc? I think that the government has been sabotaged. Intentionally impairing it's functions to justify the critiques of functionally. "I want to make the government small enough to drown in a tub" "Government doesn't work, elect me and I'll prove it"(that one's a joke but conveys the point)
- 8note 6y agoTheres not that many billionaires, so I'm not sure how relevant percentages of billionaires is
- jacobush 6y agoWe need to remember they allocate resources horribly in other places though. Genocide is going there, forced abortion and sterilisation of entire populations.
