Comment on Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned?
ExploitedAmerican@lemmy.world 5 days agoUsd has plummeted in value though and those in control of the economic system have manipulated it to hide this reality. For instance Inflation statistics are calculated by the world bank and IMF using Consumer price index which is extremely flawed mostly because CPI does not account for the 2 primary driving forces of inflation… the increase in circulating currency supply and leveraged national debt. So they are feeding us highly skewed inflation numbers to prevent the workers from rioting/ fomenting a revolution so their passive income faucet keeps flowing.
Saying that “It Doesn’t Work that way” is just highlighting the reality that the entire system is rigged and set up to benefit those in control over those doing the actual labor and creating the profit

This might seem like an odd question, but whats your opinion of NATO?

If the only way you can argue against their point is if they have a specific opinion about NATO then you’ve already conceded the point to anyone who doesn’t have that opinion on NATO.
If not, then it’s weird to ask a non sequiter about NATO without any other argument.
