  1. Argentina hasn't had a properly functioning economy in decades.

  2.  @dasbubba841  So do private workers much of the time. Have you not noticed that a lot of the work private companies do now is for governments? In many cases, the profit is privatised and the debt is public.

  3. How? The global economy is collapsing anyway, we'll all end taking those jobs.

  4. It went from a war to a situation. Frozen conflict is the fancy term. Places like Northern Ireland, Palestine, Cyprus etc are all frozen wars. We have seen one "unfrozen" recently on the shores of the Black Sea.

  5. The pandemic didn't do this, the response to it did.

  6. The British used to argue the same.

  7.  @rikilshah  They're not "earning" it in some cases, they get it by overcharging some people and underpaying others.

  8.  @sunenymann9452  It doesn't have much to do with labour either, that's a Marxist misconception. Money is essentially value, and how much people are willing to pay for things.

  9.  @sunenymann9452  You don't need people to make things anymore. Neither digits on a computer nor in an automated plant. In the near future we'll barely need manual labour at all, since machines will be self-repairing.

  10.  @sunenymann9452  Manual labour will be extinct by 2050, if not earlier, according to some projections. Office work is also being replaced.

  11.  @sunenymann9452  Machines will build them. They will be self-repairing. Leave that 19th century German guy out of the picture - his philosophy has never worked in practice, and has never liberated anyone. The near future consists of a lot of people not working. A few thousand of them will be rich and live off investments. In fact, they will abolish money in the next few years altogether. It's already happened in Venezuela.

  12. That was the plan. Same with the IMF loans. Even the policies of the last two years worldwide.

  13. Like Singapore?

  14.  @KanishQQuotes  Cough what? There are numerous examples I've never mentioned. Ones you'll have never heard of.

  15. America is under it not over it.

  16. Really? Please look up Davos and Klaus Schwab. It's international, para-national indeed. They wish to bring down the USA and are succeeding over the last two or three years.
