That's a bold claim. What led you to believe that's the case? And what is a "non-transable good"?
- feet 4y agoI think it might help to find out the definitions of terms before assuming the statement is wrong
- abduhl 4y agoNon transable is not a term that anyone uses and therefore is not one that has a definition outside of this thread. Which is why GP asked what it is, smart ass.
- feet 4y agoAnd the person I'm replying to, in the order of their statements and questions, first assumes that it is a bold claim and after that decides they don't understand the statement they're replying to. It's backwards
- mym1990 4y agoMust be fun spending the whole day looking for technicalities to address.
- feet 4y agoNo, I just understand how to make valid criticisms. First step before you can criticize is to understand what you're criticizing
- abduhl 4y agoIt's not backwards. Calling housing and land an X and saying that this means it should have heavy state intervention IS a bold claim regardless of what X is because it's calling for heavy state intervention. Compare: "Abortion is a non-transable good and therefore there should be heavy state intervention in it." "Video games are non-transable goods and so there should be heavy state intervention in it." "Cryptography is a non-transable good and therefore should heavily be regulated by the government." All of these are BOLD claims regardless of what non-transable means, and it's appropriate to ask what non-transable means in order to understand why the bold claim stands.
- aaaaaaaaaaab 4y agoSorry, but this is a non-transable comment, and I only reply to transable comments.
- spaniard89277 4y agoI like your style, you made me laugh.
- feet 4y agoI think you missed the point I was making
- dntrkv 4y agoKinda hard to look up when someone misspells the word.

- macksd 4y agoCan you help me with the definition, then? I can't find that word in any of my dictionaries and search engines are suggesting I mean "non-transferable" which is not a property of land in NYC. Unless there's a definition, saying that this property calls for heavy state intervention is indeed a bold claim.
- feet 4y agoI never stated that they were correct or made any comment on the substance of the original post. I criticized the criticism as being poorly formed Asking the original poster for clarification of terms would be the move before assuming something
- spaniard89277 4y agoHmm, im on mobile now but I believe it's called non-tradeable goods in english. Basically you cant move supply around.
