punk rebel ecks posted:I meant for middle class/lower middle class Americans. if you're poor, you usually have many different forms of debt. paying off your debt is generally a wiser financial move than investing in anything. if your debt APR is <= 7% that doesn't mean that it's the rational choice to invest in stocks with the assumption that they are a 7% year on year ROI when you're poor. again, stocks are super volatile. imagine if instead of CDs or a savings account as a poor, you had put that money in stocks before the 2008 crash. you would have been far worse off. also generally you should invest in index or mutual funds. even in the scenario a poor picks specific stocks (lol) and hits the lotto and doubles their investment, they're still loving poor.

also just because the market has performed a certain amount on average in the past is not a predictor of the future. a 7% average APR is not guaranteed. people generally just want to find some justification for why they can blame the poor for their problems. poors not saving enough money or not being savvy investors is a very common punching bag. these people usually don't want to support agendas that help the poor like reducing volatility of healthcare costs or supporting educational or vocational opportunities.

TLDR Stocks are gambling for rich people who want to feel smart about gambling, there might be some card counting tricks to fool small-fry but in the end its still a clique of millionaires with insider info you dont have who win

imagine you had a poor person and you scolded him to invest in stocks. maybe he gets a marginally better retirement or he's wiped out when the market cyclically crashes again. imagine that same poor person and instead you provide them with vocational training or opportunities in higher learning. they are on average going to have way better class mobility and also benefit society as a whole multiple times over what society has invested in them. this is considered crazy thinking to most democrats/liberals.

it boggles my mind that people will (at least nominally) support public funding of K-12 education but after that gently caress you. it also boggles my mind that people will support medicare but if you say maybe we should lower the age of medicare people go insane.

Neoliberals and conservatives live in a world where what we currently have (and what we had in the past) is the only things within the realm of reality. Conservatives want to tear down existing institutions (that are unfavorable to their interests), but don't wish to create anything. Neoliberals desperately try to cling onto existing institutions, but can't fathom the idea of any major shift or change happening. All change must be slow and incremental, and definitely within existing systems/channels/methods, to the point where the change isn't even keeping up with the failing system it's trying to fix at the rate it's failing,

Concerned Citizen posted:just for the record: Actually, you are blatantly wrong and stupid. the 1.36 million cited was the sum of money Tennessee DONORS directly contributed to Hillary, not the money transferred from Tennessee dem party to the DNC, and it was taken from the FEC summary report for TN.

Buttigieg supporters are pretty terrible and will inevitably metastasize into the cancer that kills this subforum. The one downside to the HillShill Toxx Amnesty is that it didn't permanently remove them.

You are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the democratic party is. You have to see it for yourself.
