  • “Folks, we’re gonna have a great depression. No really, it’s gonna be great. Some people say it will be the greatest. It’s gonna be tremendous. Like no one has ever seen before. Sleepy Joe Biden couldn’t do it! Horrible administration… and they stole the election. They said it couldn’t be done, but we have some great folks who put their great minds together to make it happen. Only this administration’s tremendous willpower could have done this. No one else in history… they said the 1930’s had a Great Depression… it was weak, pathetic, orchestrated by the deep state democrats. We’re gonna show them how it’s done, folks. No Great Depression has been or will ever be greater than this one. I’m telling you folks, this one will go down in history!”

  • Was that pretty confusing for you without the apostrophe?

    Just helping you on your way towards literacy. You’re welcome!

    I have

    Really? Where? Show me all those incredible arguments you made!

    the jobs that give back to humanity and pay a livable wage are hard to get.

    Are they? You haven’t shown that. All you did was get worked up about the salary of teachers in some states in the US, which I never even denied.

    you did a shit job. I even deconstructed it for you.

    More empty statements from the guy that can’t even read. Yeah I’m gonna be a no on that one.

    This isn’t moving the goal posts. This is the literal definition of a livable wage.

    Really? Being able to have a house or an apartment without roommates is in the definition? And if you started out with “food and shelter”, this is quite literally the (in this case real) definition of moving the goal posts.

    You dont? I’m trying to argue that many many teachers don’t get paid a living wage. Are you illiterate or something?

    Nice no u. No, if you actually would have used your brain you might have figured out that the point is: why are you trying to argue something that I already acknowledged in my second comment, the one you responded to, as if I’m denying that teachers are underpaid?

    The fact that these jobs don’t exist, or are hard to get

    They do exist and are not hard to get. Have you even tried?

    trying to derail it to shit on me.

    LOL there is no derailing a conversation that starts with:

    Gosh darn reality making things hard.

    Train was off the tracks with both wheels right from the start. This is all on you.

    The premise was that the jobs that are both fulfilling and pay decently were hard to get.

    Was it? Where did the OP say that? Please use direct quotes.

    Assertion fallacy.

    Yeah that’s not what that is LOL but nice try there buddy!

  • I’ve understood

    Doubt.

    The comment were referring

    We’re*
    And you can pick whichever you want. You still haven’t made a case why any of them are ignorant. Using the word doesn’t make it so.

    So to be clear, everybody who is not dead or homeless is making a living wage? Is that your argument?

    Well…

    Mm yes, he forgot to mention the silly extra requirements of food and shelter.

    … apparently it’s yours. Which is why the reductio ad absurdum was mine, but nice try at trying to make it seem like you can read.

    to be your standard

    Still nope, see above.

    Mine is that they should be able to afford reasonable shelter and food without having to find roommates or other external sources of income.

    More movement of the goal posts I see… whatever happened to food and shelter?

    Why do you keep generalizing it to “all”?

    What’s your point? Why shouldn’t I generalize? We don’t know the financial situation of each teacher so we can only speak in general terms.

    And for the umpteenth time –and the proof that you can’t read keeps building: it’s not about the teachers, or the nurses, they were just examples. There are other jobs, you know? As are there other countries outside of the US.

    And the fact that teachers are underpaid is something I already acknowledged in the comment you responded to, which you could have read, hadn’t you been illiterate. So I don’t know what you’re trying to argue.

    The premise was that the jobs were hard to find. They are not. Period.

  • Sorry so it was a joke or not? Or is this a joke now.

    I clearly wrote, for the third time now: the word illiterate was a joke about your lack of understanding a simple written sentence.

    I guess I could have been nicer when replyto your ignorant comment.

    Maybe you’re hallucinating things now. There was nothing ignorant about my comment. Your sarcastic bullshit was simply asinine right off the bat. I was having a chat with that other guy and here you come barging in, your idiocy on full display. You’re not projecting that shit on me. Get it away from me.

    This is not an example of moving the goal posts. This was a clear and obvious example of showing you how bad your argument was.
    Specifically, it’s a logical fallacy called denying the antecedent.
    Eg if A then B
    DOES NOT imply that
    If NOT A then NOT B

    You said :

    Mm yes, he forgot to mention the silly extra requirements of food and shelter.

    If they’re not dead it means they’re living. If they’re not homeless it means they have a home. And they also have enough to eat. So by your standards they should have a living wage.

    Also, it was reductio ad absurdum, and like I said, not questions one should really answer.

    In many many parts of the us, this is simply not a living wage. It’s borderline poverty.

    Teachers are living perfectly normal lives and they are not all on the brink of poverty. Sure they don’t drive the nicest car, but if that is what you think is important, just go work for Evil inc. instead.
