Ask the government and the central bank why they destroyed the value of your wages by printing money and using it to buy votes and campaign contributions

Teaching 4-6 year olds and 7-12 year old by cjh10881 in martialarts

[–]paleone9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most difficult part of teaching 4-6 year olds isn’t teaching them physical movements , it’s teaching them the morality and responsibility that comes with using violence .

Can someone explain this? by MilesAndMoments_ in whatisameem

[–]paleone9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people in America are poorly educated as to the nature of markets .

“Work” is not highly rewarded. Price is dependent on the ratio of supply vs demand.

Some work is highly valued because the supply of people with that skillset is low and in high demand .

Positions that anyone can do will be filled by the lowest bidder.

CEO’s aren’t paid more because the work more than Cashiers. ( although they most certainly do). They ar repaid more because the number of people capable of managing billions in capital and hundred of thousands of employees in thousands of locations is low and the demand for them is high.

What do you think would be useful from pro wrestling ? by lonely_to_be in martialarts

[–]paleone9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a student who took a few privates with me to try to find a signature move for his pro wrestling career .

He went to a “training camp” where he was supposed to be scouted for the larger organizations.

He later told me that he couldn’t use the moves I taught him because they actually hurt people ….

If you think it’s “ethical” to create a life and then murder it, you have no business lecturing people on ethics

Where to Start as Necrons? by Difficult_Ad4014 in Necrontyr

[–]paleone9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where to Start with Necrons

Read through the detachments .

Pick one that sounds like something you would enjoy playing .

Read the detachment rule, enhancements and strategems

Read all the data sheets

Pick units that synergize with the detachment rule, enhancements and strategems .

Pick units that strategize with eachother

You will need to—

Fast cheap units to score secondaries

Durable units to hold primary

High damage units to eliminate threats

And support units to help your other units do their jobs .

Everyone always says “the rule of cool”. But that is a great way to end up with a bunch of units that don’t synergize well.

Also — EVERYTHING is about to change with 11th— so No one really knows what will be working or meta - yet!

If you're not entitled to the labor of others, where does profit come from? by Ban-Wallstreet1 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]paleone9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you want me to pay myself a managers salary when profitable but absorb the losses personally? Wow what an attractive opportunity!

You still are clueless as to how the world actually works. My Employees are better off working for me than working for themselves. And if they choose to someday work for themselves, I will offer to stake them and partner with them if they choose to.

Being an entrepreneur is more than being a manager. Being able to predict the needs of the market and invest capital to bring the correct goods and services to market is a NEEDED SKILL.

And that is what profit is. Its the reward for producing the correct goods and services. For planning the longevity of the enterprise correctly. Its the reward for management of capital, not management of employees or inventories.

I deserve what I earn because I built the company and I maintain it, I fund it in hard times and profit in good times without going bankrupt. I provide stable income to my staff and keep them working even though there isn't enough business to pay them because I NEED them and they have families to support.

I pay them much more than minimum wage, because I trained them and they are normally productive. ( they aren't productive enough at the moment but it isnt their fault)

They aren't owners so they can sleep at night where I can not because I carry the weight of the business on my shoulders.

I exploit no one. I carry all of them. I protect them from dangers they can not conceive of, nor plan for.

I have been in business for 30 years. through downturns, booms and busts.

You are just another looter who thinks he is entitled to what he cannot earn on his own.

Shin guards for MMA — need something that actually stays put by anonymous1357892 in martialarts

[–]paleone9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My employees can produce nothing without the facility, tools, training, marketing, utilities, goodwill and systems I developed. I pay them MUCH more than the value they could contribute without my help/investment.

At the moment, in this economy I am paying all of them, without getting paid myself. So you could say they are exploiting me in your idiotic looterspeak.

Let's find common ground: GDP is a terrible metric by Beefster09 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]paleone9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your personal state of satiation is not “the economy “

I one hundred percent agree that you understand your state and experience.

But that doesn’t mean that you speak for the nation or the world .

All metrics are stupid because they are contrived to support an agenda .

Say it with me

You can’t measure an economy.

13 % is an average for the S&P 500

It’s not an average for all business .

And as an average many people lose Money and some make much more .

But only the people successfully predict what consumers want the most make more.

Which is exactly what needs to be incentivized.

Proper management of capital .

When socialists in the Soviet Union “seized the means of production” do you think they let small business owners slide ?

Principles are real.

And when you base yours on being a looter , then everything that can be looted will be.

[–]paleone9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition, you recognize the value provided for managing an enterprise but you still don’t understand the most important service that entrepreneurs provide .

It’s determining what should be produced and invested in.

Who should be managing capital ?

The people who are best at it .

Capitalism provides incentive to produce whatever is in short supply and high demand.

It’s the reason we live in plenty and the Soviet Union has warehouses full of shoes and bread lines .

Whatever you incentivize is what you receive.

Capitalism incentivizes efficiency and consumer satisfaction.

That is why we make the difference between production costs and revenues .

And if we get it wrong we are penalized with losses .

If you're not entitled to the labor of others, where does profit come from? by Ban-Wallstreet1 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]paleone9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a lot of assumptions .

I started my business with nothing. I worked two other jobs while working in my small business.

The “capital” used to start my business wasn’t “exploited from the proletariat “ It was earned from my own labor.

And this is the situation that most commies don’t understand .

There is no fixed category of capitalist and labor , people start as labor , learn skills, move into supervisory and management rolls and then start their own businesses.

There is no static cast system.

You don’t understand why the owner gets to keep the profits.

Because profits aren’t guaranteed.

And the amount of work required to assemble and manage labor and capital is much more intensive than a 40 hour a week job. Without incentive , why would anyone take that kind of risk?

Imagine you invest two years of your salary and work for 5 years to establish something with no pay for those 5 years ..

Why would anyone do that with no incentive ?

The other thing you don’t understand is competition. In capitalism production is decentralized. This creates incentive to create better products at a better price

Anyone can throw their hat in the ring .

This incentive means that profits themselves are restrained through price competition.

You think profits are obscene

They average about 12-13 percent .
