Socialism Fails Everytime ...

lol.....
That question was not for me. He specifically and intentionally did not respond directly to me. If he has a question, he can ask.

What is a woman?

 

[85SugarVol]

Normal and healthy care and concern.
And yes, thanks, they are both doing very well....and both doing well in jobs that provide social good (a must for them).

But your move didn’t come without a cost - it negatively impacted the district you chose to leave behind. Right?

 

[luthervol]

Webster’s dictionary of 1828:

Greedy, adjective, Latin gradior, and probably signifies reaching forward.

1. Having a keen appetite for food or drink; ravenous; voracious; very hungry; followed by of; as a lion that is greedy of his prey. Psalms 17:12

2. Having a keen desire of any thing; eager to obtain; as greedy of gain.

Language does change, but I wonder how much the change in the definition of greed has been guided by liberals?

What Are the Seven Deadly Sins? A Biblical Guide

Many think the deadly seven are recorded in the Bible. Even though each of the seven is a sin, this list is not contained in Scripture. The history of this sin categorization began in the year 400.
Two centuries later, Pope Gregory 1 refined the inventory to seven. Almost every sin can be placed in one of these seven categories. Isaiah 14:13-14 tells us pride and selfishness are related to each of the seven and are viewed as the root causes of all sin.

7. Greed
Definition: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (such as money) than is needed (material goods)

Counterpart: Generosity, kindness

I think the buyer of our house probably made things even better.

So you admit you are greedy.

Is 10% Burisma cut for Joe considered greedy?

 

[BreatheUT]

Played this game with you and yours often before. I know what you're really doing. It's called a:

Really man? Smh. Honest debate leads to understanding. There is nothing wrong with defending your position or others defending there's with empirical evidence or facts.

 

[luthervol]

Of course I'm on the continuum, as is every human who has ever lived.

I suspect greed has been nuanced more by religious dogma and thought than by liberals.

And they don't get charged in Canada.

I am not sure what you mean by your first comment.

your quote "They claim the quality is the same, but less inexpensive than paying for health insurance in the US." - that would be more expensive, correct?

 

[85SugarVol]

I think the buyer of our house probably made things even better.

I doubt seriously they were able to adequately offset the loss of yourself, your wife, and your daughters.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

Did not know that. Have heard and read for years that Joyce Kilmer was it.

Yes sir, there are patches of virgin timber around our area as EasternVol alluded too. I trail maintain for SMHC and the ATC, so next time I am out there I will take some pictures .

I appreciate the high regard, but we left the area in good hands.

I like math. I did the math on a holier-than-thou notion shared earlier.
This notion, specifically (context is a wealthy business owner who is said to be greedy...the bad kind):

He obviously could have paid his employees more or done other things with the wealth he is accumulating.

I chose Amazon's Bezos for my math. Jeff makes a salary from Amazon of about 1.5 million per year. His 117B net worth is in stocks and investments. He would be required to sell assets for the exercise to be viable.

If Jeff sold 11.7 B in assets every year, he would net (after cap gains) 9.36B.
Amazon employs about 1.5M people. 9.36B / 1.5M = $6,240
$6,240 / 52 weeks = $120. $120 / 40 hours (not all employees are FT) = $3

Assuming Jeff did not have appreciation of remaining assets, he would be worth a few million after 10 years. The employee would make an additional $3 per hour.

The Amazon stock sold could have negative implications on the ownership, direction, and future of the business. Diluting the capital to employees could also incur opportunity costs.

If Jeff is guilty with the sin of greed, aren't those proposing this approach guilty with the sin of coveting their neighbor's possessions?

How incredibly fortuitous for that district. Well done.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Lol you randomly brought up alternative facts, the bible, and the Keystone pipeline. Then you accuse me of a "detour" for asking what I stated that was an "alternative fact"?
Did you not believe my FDR story?

I don't even believe you exist. But I sometimes pretend you do.

 

[Vol8188]

Those of you arguing with Luther know what a fool's errand that is.

Far better than trying to have an intelligent conversation with Woodsmanvol. Both of which I'm guilty of today. I'll see myself out

 

[GroverCleveland]

I suspect greed has been nuanced more by religious dogma and thought than by liberals.

Perhaps. It would be interesting to see how the definition has changed through the years.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Really man? Smh. Honest debate leads to understanding. There is nothing wrong with defending your position or others defending there's with empirical evidence or facts.

And my advice for you:

He’s incapable. Just here to troll

Look forward to seeing them.

True, but somewhat sad story. Ex wife had a great uncle who owned a stand of virgin cypress timber on the Cape Fear River. I had the opportunity to hunt in them. Had more money than one could shake a stick at and decided to sell the timber off. The knots that were left behind were unreal in size. Glad I got to see it before it was cut, but it was sad to see the aftermath.

typo. I meant less expensive.

They can both have levels of guilt. No contradictions there.
