    Don’t correct my vocabulary. Saying the rich are a different species is irony, not hyperbole. Anyway, you haven’t made any points that stand here.

    nor did I claim money “doesn’t do anything.”

    5 minutes earlier:

    The only thing you can remove from the process and still get the same result is capital…

    So you never said it doesn’t do anything. Just that it can be removed from the picture with no result. (?!)

    Goodnight to this conversation.

      CAUGHT IN THE ACT

      Hey look everybody - here’s doomcanoe clearly trying to use a separate sock puppet account to chime in and make it sound like someone supports his side of this argument. But OOPS he forgot to actually sign out and back in and posted it under his doomcanoe account! You can see right here his deleted comment, once he realized his mistake. It’s still cached in my inbox though.

      Nice try, sir. Now I know where all the downvotes came from overnight. This is SERIOUS weaksauce. And you still don’t know the difference between hyperbole and irony!!!

        Pff. Your refutation is there in black and white, and not just from me. The fact that you won’t recognize it doesn’t change anything.

            people want to be paid for their labor.

            You willfully missed the memo, but this was /thread.

            You keep moving the goalposts. First you say your points stand unless we disprove them (as if that’s the way it works). Now we have to prove this new statement you -and no one else - have said, that money is the only way something gets created.

            Really, just stop struggling. You made the point that capital can be removed with no effect, and that’s just plain bullshit. The rest is you dancing around trying to shift the goalposts.
