  1. Every socialist in existence - "Real socialism has been tried" Sounds like the same argument to me.

  4.  @ekaterinaponizovskayadevin2812  "with democracy and transparency" that sounds to me like an illusion when it come to the government. I'm not arguing that government is totally useless. What I'm arguing is when you hand the government so much authority in the long run it will result in a net negative for society as well as the individual. The evidences within the last 100 or so years is enough to prove my point. Just the mere attempt to try socialism have cost millions of lives. No economic system known to date has driven more innovation and lifted more people out of poverty than American capitalism. This is a undeniable fact.

  5. ​ @DoctorBiobrain "inflation is caused by the after effects of covid" which is the government printing a massive amount of money in a extremely short period of time. Supply chain is just an excuse to deflect from the main cause. Free markets are extremely efficient when it comes to production or supply side. This efficiency will solve the supply chain issues in the short run. Which it has. We are currently experiencing long-term inflation due to easy money monetary policies. This narrative that corporations taking advantage of supply chain to raise prices is also a myth. They raise prices because their costs have gone up mainly due to the loss of purchasing power of the dollar. Sure they're a couple of bad actors, but in totality the evidence does not support that opinion. Secondly, what do you mean by " free market requires that both parties be equal" equal in what or under what context?

  6.  @DoctorBiobrain  inflation was global yes and every country had to print money to sustain their economies, hence every country suffered from inflation. The printed money as a loan or not is irrelevant because the consequences for injecting a massive amount of money into the economy from the government is inflation regardless when it will be paid back. There is data to support this analysis. I suggest you look at historical data of that last 120 year of every instance of high inflation in relation to the federal reserve monetary policies that lead up to those times of high inflation. Secondly, prices are set by the markets and in this market their is a buyer and a seller. Seller acts in their self interest to make profit, so the cost to produce their goods and services is high consideration in how the set their prices to stay competitive. "If costs go up, profits go down. But that didn't happen" - this is inaccurate. Cost went up, then so did the prices of those goods and services to balance out the increase in cost. Every company wants to maintain a certain level of profit margin. This is the reason why you did not see a fall in profits. Secondly if you take a look at all the big companies across the board, their profit margins stay relatively even to pre-covid. It seems to me that you are way behind on the data when it comes to subject matter. "As for what I wrote about free-markets needing both sides of a deal to be equal, that means exactly what you think it means: Equal. That's not my idea. That's the very basis of how the free-markets work. If one side of a transaction has more leverage than the other, it's not a free trade." - this is total nonsense, completely made up, or just and outright misconception of free markets principles in general. There is no way on earth for you to make both sides to be equal without a highly authoritative regulatory body. Free market principles is against high regulations and government intervention. Free market does not strive for equality between buyers and seller, instead it wants competition and voluntary exchange between them. Equality is irrelevant, because the buyer and seller will not engages in a transaction if they there is no benefit out it. I challenge you to show me any economic literature that teaches free markets need both sides to be equal. "if I'm your landlord and use the threat of eviction to make you agree to work for me at minimum wage" - This is one of the worst examples that you can use to make a point. First, in this situation it is no longer a voluntary transaction because of "force" and "threat". i believe this may also be illegal. The market as a whole doesn't not work this way. Even if this happened the tenant still has a choice to move out and find another job or take the deal. Fair or not, the tenant can still either accept or reject. It all boils down to choice.

  11.  @MohdHilal  not only that. The production of these batteries are also detrimental to the environment.

  12.  @lobotomizedamericans  what evidence do you have to say fossil fuel is more detrimental? "Lesser of two evils" is not a way to solve things. It like saying I support child labor over slavery because it is the lesser of two evils. Please think before you speak.

  13.  @lobotomizedamericans  boy that is a whole bunch of gibberish. Imagine an idea that claims to provide temporary relief to a "threat" that we still don't know how or to what extent it will affect us. But the catch is that this temporary solution will also cause other deferential problems to the very thing that it's trying to save. that's the nonsensical reasoning and logic behind your argument. Lmao insane.

  14.  @lobotomizedamericans  "2000 peer review papers" ok and? Its peered reviewed on climate change and not on how production of EVs is deferential to environment. Nice try with the deflection and dodging the topic of debate. Haha imagine a smooth brain person callimg others smooth brain. Can you be any more dishonest and dense?
