Steve Forbes' Commentary on Milei

[IamWaldo]

Zuck has created 72,000 high-paying jobs so he can't be that evil. How many high-paying jobs have you created?

How many hate speeches did he allow due his algorithms?

What does Evil relate to creating jobs?

I also don't see the relevance. It is a known fact, for example, that the unemployment in Germany significantly decreased under the Nazi regime by 1939 compared to the early 1930s. What conclusion would you make out of that, following the same logic?

You either believe in the 1st amendment or you do not. The KKK, Neo- nazis, etc have the same right to express their opinion (as long as they do not advocate the violent overthrow of the government) as the LGBQT crowd, communists or anyone else has. Poor taste is not illegal nor should it be "cancelled" because of some prevailing view that the majorities have at any moment in time.

72,000 people have jobs which allow them to buy a house, raise a family, save for retirement, pay college tuition, take vacations etc. Try
building a successful society in which nobody has a job because there's no one there like Zuck to give them one.

Wait until you hear how many people wars employ

Temporarily embarrassed millionaires billionaires (inflation, am I right?) never cease to amaze me; the idea that we should worship or praise men who have amassed such a wealth is ridiculous, and even more so when painting them as "job creators". Zuck has a net worth of 106 Billion dollars, that is literally the exact dollar figure needed to dollarize Argentina at $730 pesos per dollar, pay our loan to the IMF, and the fine for nationalizing YPF, yet one man holds this exact figure himself as one person, dolling it out to people and causes he deems worthy enough in search of praise for how charitable he is. It's not a new observation, but if animals hoarded resources like this we would study them and diagnosis them with illnesses of some kind.

Forget Argentina, what could 106 Billion dollars do to a country like Haiti or Somalia? How many vaccines and mosquito nets could you buy? How many cases of cholera could you treat? It's not like if Zuck wasn't a billionaire Meta's jobs would go away, it's just further proof that by hoarding this wealth he is in fact evil.

Besides, what does 106 Billion as a person get you that 1 Billion can't? Our time on this planet is finite anyways, and you can't take it with you.

Demonizing the wealthy is the last refuge of socialists after they destroy another country and its economy.

What county did socialists destroy in this context, I'm all ears

Russia, China, Venezuela, Argentina . . . . every country they’ve tried to turn into a workers’ paradise. They’re in the process of doing the same thing to the US that they did to Argentina.The common thread is scapegoating the wealthy for their failures when their “workers’ paradises” turn out to be fool’s gold.

The Soviet Union ended in 1991; China is has the second highest GDP in the world and has literally lifted billions of people out of poverty, Argentina has never had a socialist majority in congress nor socialist president, so it looks like the only one that might fit your critique is Venezuela, but even then, it has a ton of issues that go beyond Chavez and Maduro.

As for the US, this is just trolling

Red scare really didn't end with the 80s I guess, but hey, that's the cool thing about communism, it can mean anything apparently

China freed itself from its Maoist nightmare by turning its back on socialism and embracing a form of capitalism that would make even a robber baron blush. The Chinese Communist Party went along for the ride because even it recognized the bankruptcy of the socialist model. Under Xi Jinping it's having second thoughts now though.

In the US the Democratic Party's "progressive" ideology with its "Modern Monetary Theory" and reliance on mind-boggling debt to allow the country to leave beyond its means is Socialism 101.
