The wording was obvious. If someone though OP meant “the bottom 10% can afford more yachts than the wealthy” that’s a logic problem.
I disagree. The connotation and literal meaning of the phrase “doing better than”, combined with the comment on social circles indicates that they’re trying to suggest the poor are somehow doing well, whatever that means.
That’s how I read it, anyway. And I think that’s why they’re getting down voted as well.
Doing well… proportionately. The talk was about growth/lack thereof.
Proportionally, having a penny is infinitely more than having nothing, but I still can’t buy shit with a penny.
Take your “proportionately” logic and shove it. Shit is bad. And it’s bad because capitalism has consolidated wealth at the top. Capitalism has run its course and has failed. It’s time to move on.
I can shove it all you want, but statistics show otherwise.
And blaming you own failures on capitalism won’t solve shit. Plenty of people are successful under capitalism, no matter what a dozen geniuses on a fringe site cry about.
Communism has been tried and failed, either through revolution (eastern Europe), evolution to market economies (China, Vietnam) or famine and slavery (North Korea).
Ah, Leftists. The screaming children of the modern age.
Also - Horseshoe Theory in action. Guess who else hates logic but loves being angry?
Which is nonsensical, which should suggest you’re misinterpreting.
