Democratic Socialism in the U.S and How to Pay for It?

[Puldania]

The byproduct of abandoning the link of success to self-work and realization is slack, actually.

Tells my mother, an underpaid manager for Amex, working two other jobs:
"The reason you aren't rich yet is because you're lazy, sweetie."

Clearly she should've pulled on those bootstraps harder and taken a fourth job so she could've put her foot on top of the rest of the world's poor and declared herself successful /s

Step 1: Grasp bootstraps firmly
Step 2: Pull up.

Congratulations, you can now fly are now a billionaire.

Tfw you are poor and can’t afford bootstraps but you don’t have a good enough job to get the money you need for bootstraps but your boss won’t give you a raise and the price of boots just increased.

[Great Minarchistan]

10% of the world is poor, actually. Recheck your stats.

Ten percent is in extreme poverty. Half is in poverty. Let's not peddle lies here.

Ding ding ding, wrong.

>TFW you have to buy cardboard boots with string bootstraps because of poverty but they fall apart on the first pull

[Great Minarchistan]

10% of the world is poor, actually. Recheck your stats.

Only if you're counting the poor/not poor divide as poor = anything under $638.4 per anum.

Can't see anything against it.

Who would win:

An entire page worth of facts and statistics including thirty one sources

OR

One graphy boi

Yeah, and my thirty-one sources disagree with your one source :^)

Also, your graph shows that half the world's making less than $2,000 annually, which averages out to $166 a month, or $41.5 dollars a week, or $8 a day. Funny how even your own graph disagrees with you. :^)))

Worker compensation has been proven to be linked directly to productivity already. The two pillars of wealth accumulation are, in essence, human capital and savings/investment (on this order of priority). So if you want to get rich, improve your skills, save and invest.

[Great Minarchistan]

Yeah, and my thirty-one sources disagree with your one source :^)

Who wins: one international organization named World Bank, or one international organization named OECD?

$5.47 a day, ftfy. Also, that's in $1990. Converting it to $2018 means the median daily income is $10.50.
P.S.: The poverty line is usually agreed at $1.25 a day, so you are wrong even by your own affirmation.

The thirty-one sources beat the one, even though the one agrees with them anyway :^)

If you operate off the assumption that people work seven days a week, that is. I forgot that we're efficient machines and not humans, which is why we don't have weekends.

The extreme poverty line.

The extreme poverty line.

w/e, this wasn't even my original point (that is, capitalism does gradual improvement to living standards of the common people).

[Torrocca]

The extreme poverty line.

w/e, this wasn't even my original point (that is, capitalism does gradual improvement to living standards of the common people).

And the counterpoint is that you're wrong on the basis that half the world's stuck in poverty.

Can't see anything against it.

Tfw living off $14 a week isn’t considered poor.

Single datapoints don't refute my statement.

Savings -> Investment -> Job creation + Economic growth -> Consumption. Not that hard to understand.

Anecdotally, $14 a week is enough to keep yourself from starving to death in Brazil. Poorer countries have a higher bang for the buck, purchasing-power wise.

“Keep yourself from starving”
Such a high bar.
I was also unaware that the world consists of nothing but Brazil.

Poorer countries also have less money. $14 a week might be good in Brazil, but less Brazilians have that much income than Americans

That's the definition of extreme poverty.

We're a taxed out 3rd world country still, so the figure is probably rosier on the other ones.
