@jakubwiech When you have to compare item by item and not the total economic output - you have already lost the argument. It's like when Belarus brags about producing 120,000 tractors a year. Try something like this - what the median person actually receives, accounting not only for income

@ArtemisConsort On the left is Elon’s house. On the right is Bernie’s. But these people know this, and that is exactly why they hate Elon (much more than a cocaine-snorting heir of old money). He left the longhouse. They even hate the boy selling lemonade on the street. https://t.co/KwEhzCiKwM
You don't even have to be that successful. If you're just trying to make something for yourself through honest independent work, the left will want to destroy you. Do you remember when they rejoiced when the boy selling lemonade on the street was robbed? The left hates the

Ok, let me explain “bad accounting and reveals a lack of understanding of how GDP is calculated” part. The argument mixes up hospital bills, patient payments, and GDP accounting. GDP does not record “whatever number appears on a bill.” It records the value of healthcare services
@splendid_pete All wrong — I already explained this in my reply to a similar post. 👇 Also, this is just bad accounting and reveals a lack of understanding of how GDP is calculated. And also, PPP already accounts for price differences. https://t.co/X3ORi87nLY

@splendid_pete Nope. Americans are just richer, and rich people are spending more of their income on healthcare (not just in absolute terms but as % of income) - they are buying and consuming higher quanities if it. Here's amazing article in the topic: https://t.co/s0n7hA6nXE Also, where do

On the left is Elon’s house. On the right is Bernie’s (1 of 3). But these people know this, and that IS precisely why they hate folks like @elonmusk. They hate people who dare to leave the longhouse. It’s the caveman instinct against market (or, more broadly, evolutionary)
People like Bernie react to wealth inequality as though it were consumption inequality. But these billionaires’ consumption will not change at all with their increased wealth. They’ll live the same, eat the same, dress the same. They aren’t doubling their number of mansions or

@elonmusk They even hate the boy selling lemonade on the street. He’s also daring to leave, instead of just complaining about how scary the outside world/capitalism is... https://t.co/KwEhzCjimk

@elonmusk And again, why is it immoral that somebody launched far more rockets into orbit than the entire rest of humanity combined, made an EV the best-selling car in the world, made the best AI, enabled disabled people to move objects with their mind, etc? https://t.co/lGVZ97BBIB
The great economic crisis of our time is growing income and wealth inequality. While millions of Americans struggle to pay rent, buy food, or afford health care, 10 billionaires got $730 billion richer in 2025. This is immoral and unsustainable. We must defeat oligarchy.

i think the uncomfortable truth is that europe is able to prioritize “work life balance” and promote a slower lifestyle because other countries (like the US) are doing the heavy lifting when it comes to creating and scaling new technology and in turn, enabling prosperity

@jakubwiech What’s wrong with the Human Development Index 👇 https://t.co/kZrF2eGtBl
@MediaHistoryNow @DouthatNYT No — actually, it does. Our best economic models tell us that people aim to maximize consumption over their lifetime. Healthcare is part of consumption. Americans spend a lot on it BECAUSE they are richer, not because they have to. Spending a large share of income on healthcare

Good, b/c unions have a negative impact on employment, investment, productivity, and profit. 👇 Those companies are really on the side of the people, whose lives they improved immensely — unlike unions, which only improved the lives of their criminal union leaders.
Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega businesses are not on your side.

Also, the custom of gift giving developed in the past in a context where it made much more sense. You live in a society where markets are thin — few buyers, few sellers, unpredictable supply. I see something for sale that I am pretty sure you would like, buy it and give it to
David Friedman proposed this as an economic model of gift giving: People have more than one “self.” One self cares about long-run welfare—savings, investments, future plans. Another cares about short-run happiness—immediate pleasure, enjoyment, and emotional payoff. Cash
