Capitalism will save this world

[captain morgan]

Your mistaken, yet again. We don't do straight barter exchanges, anymore ... just in very poor places where there isn't enough cash in circulation. [See:Alberta in 1931].

When I buy a chicken at Sobey's, I'm not expecting it to be a straight barter exchange. It is not barter, nor do I expect it to be.

Cash is simply the common medium to assist in affecting a successful transaction.


I take it that you are equating barter with an opportunity to negotiate price

 

[Cannuck]

It is that.
Money and Capitalism are different things.

Trumpites think USSR was a capitalist nation because they had money and bartered

That's probably why they adore Putin.

They also like a Petrodollar dictatorship and if you don't happen to earn a living extracting petroleum, you're anti Alberta.

Putz is as queer as a 3 turnip bill.

Earn a living? How? They aren't pulling turnips out of the ground.

Some of them are.

[petros]

Is that what your wife says to you?

Man, you ain't kidding and you're also being far to kind.

Notice how buddy deliberately evades the basic questions.

Notice how you're a flaming asshole?

 

[captain morgan]

No.... But you asshole aficionados really crack me up

You might not but most of the rest of us do.

I have no skin in the oil game except maybe some of my pension funds are invested in oil. But I see the necessity of a strong economy. That means exporting products or at least using home grown products instead of importing them. Importing oil into Canada is just stupid..

 

[taxslave]

If all the globull warming truthers just practiced what they preach oil consumption would drop at least 10%.

 

[MHz]

Even back then I did not foresee just how far he was willing to go to prove me right.

In the real world that would make you a flop. It makes you 'great' in your version of the world does it??

 

[MHz]

The list is considerably longer than one item.

Carry on, . . . .
