Again, not a clown.

Wasn't an advice, just stating the known fact that people got rich overnight on various things, e.g. NFT.

Most of the US was "partnered" with Trump for four years and it flourished, the economy was booming, the US did not get involved into a single new war during that time.

Most businesses fail, all businesses fail to some degree, it's not an indicator of how "useless" somebody's mind is, even if they make one out of 100 that succeeds, it's a success.

You're likely in your late teens / early 20s, convinced that you've figured out how the world works and everything looks crystal clear to you. That is not confidence, rather lack of data points, life experience, research. You dismiss things and try to discredit people without really understanding the topic and resort to personal attacks, that makes you look unstable and childish, I can't really take seriously things you say, the arguments you make, there's not much that can be done here from my side, as you seem to have already made up your mind about things, driven by fear, anger, and other basic emotions, rather than logic and reason. This topic was about understanding central banking, and continuing this discussion would be a waste of my time as to understand something, one must be able to accept and analyze different points of view, instead of calling people names.



Lol, backpedaling so hard that you have to resort to the "you must be very young, and you don't understand human nature or how the world really works" kind of infantilization. I'm in my 30s. Lack of data points / research is also a nonsense argument because you know quite well that there is no amount of sources that I could list in a hackernews comment that would satisfy you.

You admire this guy Robert as a man who knows how to be successful under capitalism yet you also are comfortable that the only success he has had is baiting people like you into thinking that he is indeed successful.

Thinking that the economy flourished under Trump is sycophantic nonsense. He cut corporate tax rates to incredibly low levels and ordered the fed to cut interest rates despite the already out of control stock market, so of course indexes like the Fortune 500 skyrocketed. Not an indication of the real economy in any way or how the labor class is actually doing, but an indicator of growing CEO wealth and growing inequality


Would be quite pointless trying to infantilize somebody who thinks that Marx's ideas could work and that socialism/communism is the solution to today's problems in the world. If you believe in those things in your 30s it's akin to somebody in their teens still believing in the Easter Bunny, just sad and not much can be done from the outside, I just wish you well and hope you travel around the world, spend more time talking to people, try succeeding at something, and then realize why his writings were nothing but highly-promoted nonsense, and why none of that ever worked in practice. Ignoring historical facts is a sure sign of indoctrination... if you're in your 30s now and still wholeheartedly believe all that, it's highly likely that you spent a huge chunk of your time in an environment where you were bombarded with anti-capitalism ideas, were told how great Marxism is, etc. Some ultra-leftie university, US or Canada. And they've likely put you in debt to make sure you end up blaming capitalism for setting you back in life at the very start.

Marx's "labor theory of value" surely sounds great, but you have to know that that guy never worked a day in his life. He was a spoiled lazy brat who was sponsored by his friends until death, friends who had wealthy parents that owned factories and businesses (evil capitalists). Not an expert on labor.

As for Trump, the question here wasn't how he did it, it's the fact that he did it... the game is rigged, the money in today's world is just paper, it's one big ponzi scheme, and once again, it's the FED and Marxist central bank to blame for... he had to work with the tools he had, and he's done many great things for his country despite non-stop attacks from the left. The financial system we have today is very detached from actual labor. Despite him bringing a lot of manufacturing back into the country, those two will likely never ever become as connected as before due to automation and virtualization.

You seem to be attacking people rather than ideas, ignoring successes, and fight instead of trying to improve and create something. With that attitude you will be poor your whole life, and people who promise you equality, or blame capitalists/men/racism/etc just want to steal the rest of your money from you. Humans have a natural tendency to compete. The fairness of things being unfair is how the world works, and no amount of surveillance, policing, or social credit scores will ever be able to change that.
