    I clearly never said you were far right. You might be, but I didn’t make any assumptions about you. I said PragerU is far right, because it is.

    I’m not being brainwashed if I think Dennis Pragers Prager U is hard right-wing dishonest propaganda, that’s exactly what it is in its very nature. I don’t doubt you believe the video, its just unfortunate that you do. Here’s a small example of the gold Dennis Prager produces.


    This is who Dennis is, a religious far right-wing talk show host. All of their videos are jokes, all of them are incredibly dishonest. You may need to double check who's "brainwashed", just like you need to double check who should "know better" between you and Deckard. Everything Deckard posted is spot on with USA's economic history.

    And no, I’m not in school. Weird thing to insist on after I flat out said so. How much money would you like to bet? I'll take as much as you got. I work as a blue-collar contractor. Not sure why my age and occupation are important to you. But please, I’d much rather move this conversation away from me, and the hilarious fake YouTube "University" of PragerU and back to the subject of wealth inequality and our economic history that you seem to perhaps disagree with?

    As someone who has a 20-year career in finance, I'd love to discuss this topic with you. I'm a bit baffled, you read numbers for a living and the statistics on the rapidly growing wealth inequality over the past 50 years are damn clear. Surely you know the pricing difference of public college from when you graduated to today, especially from when Deckard graduated to today, the incredible increase of house pricing, and along with stagnating to declining wages (depending on the era we are comparing). Clearly, you know this creates a problem. Cost for necessities are going through the roof, it's much harder to pay for an education, the middle class is dying as its income is declining.

    I expect we might disagree on how to fix that problem, but I definitely didn't expect a disagreement that the problem even exists, especially from someone with your expertise... but that IS what things like PragerU teach so perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised.

    Not sure y'all are watching the same videos I am. Economically speaking, they are spot-on.

    Uh, no, I'm not watching sh@t by Dennis Prager. Bring something better, respectable even, to the table.

    Was trying to find a simplified model. Not sure folks know the difference between Keynesian vs. Traditional Economics, much less venturing further into it. (my final thesis was comparing & contrasting Galbraith vs. Schumpeter)



    An easier view from Stossel, who Friedman lauded regularly, and who was a former democrat.

    Gold Diggin Ho.

    Do you think she would find him attractive at all if he didn't have $160B?

    Do you she would settle for 160K?

    Asking for a friend.

    Dunno, but if you had $160B I doubt she'd find you attractive.

    If I had $160B you wouldn't find me with a sloot like her but I can understand why you find her attractive now.

    My friend has since informed me that the 160K was more aspirational than reality. :D
