Why are Americans like this?

Why are Americans like this?

They're hysterical and obsessive no matter what hobby, or in this case ideology, they subscribe to.

They have a point.

You can see some really absurd cases of the economy rewarded those who "earned it".

>He says as he obsesses over the superior country
Sage

fuck off retard

>no arguments

>invest in something
>they are now rich
Ann is a fucking retard for not investing in Amazon.

Well done Ann, someone who is willing to risk buying Child Porn has more financial initiative than you.

I think you spend too much time on the internet. Why dont you visit america and meet some americans in real life.

Capitalism hurts people who work more than those who take risks.

>like this?
I don't know what you're referring to. Your pic just seems like someone presenting a weak argument against the idea that the free market rewards diligence.
>They're hysterical
You mean not-autistic?
>obsessive
How so?

Even "fat cat capitalists" know it deep down that they have a point. There is no reason to be fanatic on a stupid pseudonymous Cantonese basket weaving forum.

I actually made money off Bitcoin, so you might call me a hypocrite, but come on, it is obviously a fucking retarded system we have, if some NEET like me can randomly fall into riches while millions work 50+ years and still don't manage to have a net worth comparable to mine.

Risks and rewards is the natural state of evolution and man.
>Should I risk going beyond my farm to find more food?

How do you not have any savings?
>Ann wastes her money on every new iPhone and buys new expensive clothes every season

ITT: young people theorizing about the value of types of work they've never done

>Going to reddit
Why don't you stay there

>savings on american minimum wage
why do sheltered mommas boys always have to make it clear for everyone what they are?

>if some NEET like me can randomly fall into riches while millions work 50+ years and still don't manage to have a net worth comparable to mine.
You do realize that it wasn't random right?
It wasn't like he woke up and then suddenly got rich. He spent his hard earned money on a stupid coin and it blew up.
Nobody thought Apple or Amazon would do well and now the people who risked their money into some stock are rich or richer.

It's not some magic well where you throw your money in and hope for the best, you of all people should know this, the Dutch started fucking stocks.

ITT: you theorizing about the age of people you have never talked to and know nothing about

>work more
How do you quantify that?

Two points you are missing.

1. While "wealth" is created, by virtue of Bitcoin, it is not necessarily a good for society. Bitcoin could overall be hurting society. After all it is mostly used by criminals. Some of it is "harmless" drugs, but they also use it for money laundering theft (carding) and extortions.

2. There is an argument to be made that rewarding dumb luck is not the way to go. For all you know both Ann and Bob were investing in things. Mostly without any real understanding of anything. It just so happened that Bob got lucky.

She's working since she was a teenager, how can she be still minimum wage?

Minimum wage is a livable wage in the right regions.
I know I'm right. Here, let's try this:

How many of you have been officially employed for at least 20 years? 10 years? 5 years?

You get money by solving someone elses problem x how many lives you have affected x the scale of the problem. If you do a shitty low wage job that dozens of others can do then there is no demand for you, so you arent solvings problem. Apparently people have a need for bitcoins (not in the least because they believe it solves their poverty problem), many people want it and it can have a big impact on their lives.

well obviously trading child porn with magic numbers provided great value to the economy.
we would all be doing space exploration at this point if we all started trading child porn with magic numbers.

>. Bitcoin could overall be hurting society. After all it is mostly used by criminals.
So can standard money. Is having hard cash a bad thing now? Your computer can be used by criminals should we ban that next?
>2. There is an argument to be made that rewarding dumb luck is not the way to go
It may or may not be dumb luck. Maybe Bob knew bitcoin currency was a good alternative?

I wanted bitcoin myself to make online purchases ever since my credit card info got stolen.
Investing isn't all luck, it's foresight, looking at who is running the company, the demand of said products,etc.
I'd only say it was 40% dumb luck, but then again we are lucky we are not hit by a bus walking outside.

You are not really portraying an accurate picture of what actually happened.

A guy who was middle class NEET living on his parent's dime, "invested" some $1000 of the pocket money he get from his parents for nothing. Entirely disposable income and for him the risk is pretty much nil. Losing $1000 is no big deal.

It's not the same as some guy in the 1700s invested 1/2 his fortune in a daring voyage that might end up with the ship on the rocks.

>in the right regions.

Just like actors. They fill a small boredom problem for countless of people.

>It's not the same as some guy in the 1700s invested 1/2 his fortune in a daring voyage that might end up with the ship on the rocks.
A 1000$ to some NEET is a junk of his fortune though. Just talk to any NEET.

Also we might be looking at bob but not someone else who did put his fortune in bitcoin after seeing it's potential.
The pic is cherry picking/strawman/hyperbole at it's max.
>Everyone richer than me is a pedophile.
Jesus christ Ann

>i-if I mention r-reddit that means it’s w-wrong!
Fuck off kike.

>working entire life
>no savings
Nice lie. My mother works at a factory getting shit pay (like $400 a month) and she still has some savings

In 'murica lots of people live on credit, they literally take out micro loans for groceries, and then pay them back at the end of the month with their paycheck. Paycheck to paycheck in a very literal way.

It's where the phrase was coined and also they have a huge payday loan industry.

I work a slave job and still have some savings.
I know single mothers who still have a 401K and IRA money.

And? Moving sucks, but it's not like it's a bureaucratically-controlled process here.
>1000$
kys

>kys
Care to explain reddit?

Those people mostly choose to do that for the wrong reasons. They take out loans so they can do dumb shit like eat out every night of the week or buy new sneakers they don't need.

Stop using a proxy and pretending you are American.

this needs to be done itt

I'm an american idiot who the fuck would even pretend to be american?

ann made the mistake of getting a loan, bob did not

>all poor people are dumb as shit retards who waste their money on sneakers

OK

>American poltics are now antifa vs nazis
Yea, why? Where could this cancer have come from?

You put the dollar sign after the quantity.
>muh Reddit
Thank you for protecting the integrity of this venerable website, sir.

It is not sad that people get lucky sometimes, but it is just sad that people that work don't always get enough.

Most ANTIFA are liberals, not communists.

>You put the dollar sign after the quantity.
Get your autism checked sir.

>Communist apologists.

It's all making sense now.

It doesn't make sense to complain about the latter but the former is a problem, yes. Decades ago, Boomers had a very nice stable life with any old full time job and wife not working.

...

They would literally tell you the exact opposite. Also, aint there the meme "liberals get the bullet too" from antifa.

...

I'm not a communist, you retard. If you knew who I was IRL you'd know for sure that I wasn't.

I was just stating a fact.

The problem is that I'm trying to have an intellectual discussion and you are trying to have a political discussion and you clearly cannot get the hint.

>DUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH UR UGLEH
Fuck off, kike.

>let me tell you about poor people in your country
Not all, but most. They received shit information and values from their parents, and they'll pass the same bullshit onto their own kids.
Motherfucker, I'm a poor-ass peckerwood from the Rust Belt who worked like a dog and sacrificed for what I have. I know what holds my friends and family back a lot better than you do.
>.Tahts' atutisic
You failed at something most of us have learned by age 7. Just admit that you fucked up, learn from it, and be a better person going forward.

Porky is probably the only leftypol meme I like desu

>it's this way in my country, therefore it must be so in yours

>URRR EVIL FUR HAVIN MONEY
Fuck off kike

Ann is ugly as fuck and doesn't deserve my compassion.

...

Roasties btfo

>he says as he obeses

Its because of the extreme competitive society they are subjected to. Not only there are strong incentives for them to compete with each other, they also drow in the brightest and best people in the world. I dont think its mentally healthy, and i am not sure i would like to live in a country like that. But it has made them the strongest empire in history, and pretty much the only relevant country today.
Humans cant reach the stars and colonize other worlds, americans can.


Those are very specific cases. On average western societies will reward good behavior and punish destructive behavior. That is true both talking economy issues and social issues.

>ancoms are liberals now
Huh...

>Reposting Ribbit screenshots sans comment
Sup Forums 2018 everyone

...

*ahem*

the difference was back then one could afford to be a bread winner and carry his family on just his salary. Now the kikes have gone through great trouble to make sure that's not the case anymore.

LateStageCapitalism is the perfect representation of the terrible direction Reddit has slipped into. It, like Reddit, was originally dedicated to technology and LateStageCapitalism specifically was for showcasing the absurd and shitty products coming out of the system. Then it, like Reddit as a whole, was taken over by politics and reduced to shitty facebook tier virtue signalling and political "debate".

I can play this game too:

>This is Bob. Bob has been working full time since she was a teenager. Bob has no savings.

>This is Alice. Alice moved to Dubai and became a "Porta Potty", i.e. a women who lets rich guys shit inside her mouth every other day. She also got three million followers on Instagram by simply taking pictures of her body half-naked. Alice is now a millionaire.

Taking risks can hurt you way more than working. Don't cherrypick success stories while ignoring failures.

>Then it, like Reddit as a whole, was taken over by politics and reduced to shitty facebook tier virtue signalling and political "debate".
There are lots of subreddits that don't care about politics at all and downvote people who want to start debates.

>hurr le downboating people is good!
Go back to your hugbox, faggot.

You still support his point.

>ann has been working full-time in a dead end minimum wage job because her IQ is low and/or she doesn't have trade skills/useful degree
wow
really made my neurons fire

Hard work alone has never paid.

>stirner
Fuck off
