It appears I’ve triggered Poe’s Law, again.

PS judging by the number of unironic likes that post got, sounds like you’re not the first.

No problem. You seem to be used to it.

Funny you should say that. You give the impression that you have some sort of formal academic understanding of economics, yet you often comment on what are clearly political sciences and social sciences based issues.

I wonder why you dont't apply your, convinient, reasoning to yourself?

(Please don't actually answer me, my question is rhetorical and answers itself)

PS: unless you've studied formal logic, tecnical rhetoric, and the modalities of forum dialogue (to at least post grad level) In which case you are allowed to answer me.

Cheers!

Why do you tell posters not to answer? Are you afraid of being challenged? LOL.

If you can't stick to the topic of the thread, please let the adults talk.

Should admit I took the bait.

We expats in Argentina live a good life. We take our taxis, eat our steaks ...

Of course, probably would beat your real life back home, lining up for food stamps.

This is undoubtedly the most ageist, racist, and sexist comment I've read in this forum in the past thirteen years...

...or any where else in the past 50 (my adult lifetime).

Its ironic that this poster is clamoring for woman to be given a heightened role in society and denounces machismo in Argentinian society while she makes the most vile comments on men just because they are men . Imagine if a man said that about a woman they would be denounced severely by all .

I don't recall mentioning healthcare. I mentioned "socialism." If you plan to respond to further posts, please read with greater attention.

However, I will deliberately take your bait for the sake of argument. Steve eloquently described some of the problems with "free" medical care. It is a tempting concept, but "free" anything creates significant distortions and inefficiencies in the market. In Steve's penultimate paragraph, he states it well, "Nothing is free."

The reason I laugh at most socialists is because intuitively, they know nothing is free. They adopt socialism because they stand to take more than they give. In other words, these are people who pay no or minimal taxes and feel envy at their wealthier neighbors. They aren't espousing an economic philosophy, they just want free stuff. That's why I always challenge them to explain the economics of socialism to me. Cuz socialism, at its heart, is an economic theory. Not a political one. No socialist I have ever met, including on this forum, can explain socialism. They simply respond as you did, "Free healthcare."

Below is a quote from this morning's Bloomberg. It pertains to your issue:

(Bloomberg) -- Elizabeth Warren took a lot of flak at this week’s Democratic presidential debate for being evasive about the taxes needed to pay for the $30 trillion Medicare for All plan she champions. There’s a reason for being vague: Her team hasn’t yet figured out how to pay for it. “Her taxes as they currently exist are not enough yet to cover fully replacing health insurance,” University of California, Berkeley economics professor Emmanuel Saez, who advised the Warren campaign when developing the wealth tax, told Bloomberg News on Wednesday.

You really have hit rock bottom on this forum if your only faithful chearleader in Retired Banker Lol

If you can't stick to the topic of the thread, please let the adults talk.

You are clearly unable, or more likely unwilling, to follow your own logic.

Remember you think people without economics degrees can't opine on the topic.

I was merely telling you to be consistent and not respond to me unless you have the relevant qualifications.

Not surprising that you hold others to standards you won't hold yourself to.

Enjoy talking with your 'adult' friends !
