It by definition cannot work, you are taking money away from the people.

It used to be that austerity was necessary because the country was “broke” and employment was too high, that was the neoliberal rhetoric. Now, go akshually it improves the economy somehow despite increasing poverty and unemployment . How? No one knows

Sufficiently advanced capitalism is indistinguishable from primitive superstition.

He is such a fucking clown. It’s like when a country accepts the Olympics you can see how corrupt and undemocratic their government is, but when you drink the libertarian coolaid and accept world bank IMF austerity, that’s just total autocracy

Mad to see all the coping going on from Reddit libertarians. Apparently the ‘math’ works out for this and everyone that is currently living in poverty was already poor. They are also waving around lowered rents as if that isn’t a direct result of increased homelessness and poverty rather than removal of rent controls. They ‘increased housing stock’ in the last six months apparently.

What math are they talking about? Dunno, just the math.

I would spare r/worldnews cretins if they weren’t so fucking smug about everything. The “math”. Man, shut the fuck you wannabe fucking nerd. All you know is racial pseudo psychology, you can barely comprehend basic arithmetic.

“Ignore the corpses and human misery, look at these made up numbers” is old hat for them at this point
