You are not Charles Murray. Your posts here speak for themselves.
You haven't read Charles Murray. (You probably haven't read anything other than CNN and The View)
My posts here speak for the vast majority of educated Americans.
In other words, not Woke liberals.

For an “educator” you’re pretty lost following a forum post.
So far I have won every argument in this and every other thread. I mention a fact of society and get accused of using a dog whistle.

The stupidity here continues to stack, higher and higher.

It's pretty obvious that none of the Woke persons here were ever educated. Then again, blue states don't have real schools. They just have human warehousing of brats, so that their welfare parents can enjoy the day watching soap operas.

"wasn't asking for personal favors"
She was asking for taxpayers to pay her $17,000 she owes in student loans........

it wouldn't benefit a larger majority of taxpayers

Students need re-pay THERE loans
She was asking for the government to pay all student loans thus providing a tremendous boost to our economy.

What to tell you... Decrease expenses... Or increase income. Ta daaa
As I already pointed out, according to the laws of supply and demand wages (the cost of hiring labor) on average equal the expenses of the laborer. Meaning that for some they are less and for many more they are no more … and for everyone with a wage exceeding expenses there’s someone else with a wage falling short. This isn’t an individual problem, it’s a systemic one.

You have won nothing let alone any discussion on this forum. To reduce the stupidity, post less often and it will be so.

Is that down or up from pre capitalist level? Methinks down
Yeah, if you consider illnesses currently preventable as your benchmark. Social revolutions that release increased productive forces tend to reduce misery. Capitalism as a more advanced mode of production reduced misery compared with barbarism, slavery, and feudalism (not always, but in general). Likewise, socialism as a more advanced social system that releases more productive forces reduces misery compared with capitalism. And industrial communism as a more advanced social system will when established reduce misery compared with socialism.

You would have me agreeing with you if only for the fact that socialism has never been born out to be either a more advanced social system, or one that released more productive forces thereby reducing misery.

That only exists on paper, and in the stylized musings of those that support what they find in written form

As usual, you lie.
You have YET to post any facts whatsoever.
Crawl back under your rock.
Your lies are getting tiring for every one on this forum. Your facts do not check out when checked. Why should I educate you by providing real facts?
