capitalism is starving your only neighbor to death when your job is making food and you almost certainly have extra

Let's say one grows one crop and the other grows another crop, but it's a bad year for that crop or there's a disaster on only that part of the island, so the first farmer starves, when the second farmer could've avoided having an all-potato diet or something. The unemployment would be in the form of "you can stay at my place until you finish rebuilding", like neighbors who are not insane may do when another neighbor's house burns down

also there's a trillionaire with a 50 foot high wall, out of sight and out of mind

the exciting thing is he might be so giddy that he allows questions, and if people ask him for his thoughts on the protests then we might get some new headlines displacing the JOBS news

also thats not an example of an economy at all because there is supply but no demand

what you would have is two subsistence farmers on an island until one murdered the other to gain his beets

anyone who doesn't think that the obs numbers were manipulated or just outright false just to try to distract from and warm up the current protests is just plain naive imo.

once upon a time there were two idiots stranded on a desert island. they both claimed one half of the island and farmed it for food. one day, one of the idiots fell and broke his legs and couldn't harvest his crops. he crawled over to the other idiot asking for some temporary food assistance while his legs healed, but the other idiot didn't see what was in it for him, so he refused and so the first idiot starved. the next winter, the surviving idiot also fell and broke his legs and starved :rip: :911:

One farmer strangles the other farmer and consumes his flesh instead of growing any food. This is why government spending doesn't work.
