Rant about French government

Capitalism is the only system that has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty.

Wealth is not energy. Wealth can be created and destroyed. When someone creates wealth he's not stealing from anyone. The idea that only labor creates value has long been discredited. See the labor-theory of value.

If we're to tax billionaries, let's tax loans backed by liquid assets. Loans creates money out of thin air, adding to inflation. Money is debt.

Bureaucrats are the worst species because they tax us on everything and yet they always turn a loss. And yes, I also think that the worst problem we have right now is inflation... Having experienced hyper-inflation, I dunno why Europeans don't notice that the Euro has lost +40% of its value relative to gold since COVID-19 and +80% since its creation.

Rich people own anything but money. The problem that is in our hands to solve is getting education on financial & economic subjects early on because they won't this teach at school.

Hear, hear.

My diagnosis, besides universal suffrage, points to money creation system as primary ill.
It is Wealth Sink (paper out, wealth in), inflation super booster and basically fraud.
And one of it's nasty symptoms is also Brain Drain on myriad of short term return BS projects.

There is a lot of confusion in your comments The first is that bureaucrats are a result of capitalism Without them, the system cannot run The aspects of inflation that you mention are not a spontaneous appearance They are also provoked by the capitalist organization itself Capital at present is essentially based on speculation bubbles And obviously the assertion that this system is the only one conceivable is an invention to continue this human aberration
But this forum may not be the place to exchange value theory (according to the schools) Only one aspect is enough to discredit the need to continue in the capitalist "logic": The centripetal concentration of wealth (which is quantifiable) in about 10% of humans to the detriment of the other 90%

This is false.

Capitalism is the root of all poverty.

No idea why you're allowed political posts when others are not?

At this stage I think I'm done with this place until there is fair moderation of political postings.

The Greeks knew about Anacyclosis. I think the evils of universal suffrage could be somewhat mitigated if we take it to its logical conclusion counting children's "votes". Ideally, the parents of N children should have the rights to N more votes.
 
Dang fellas, this is a technical forum and while the mods allow some variance, this one is really one that seems as if it should be taking place on a political forums. I think that most of us come here for FreeBSD discussion, and my post will be #106 of this very non-FreeBSD thread.
