If we fast forward 20 years we might see that the Chinese system of social credit scores and "re-education" works to get rid of poverty.Originally posted by Eddie View PostComment

Maybe it eliminates class distinctions. It certainly doesn't eliminate poverty.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
Her comments actually got me curious about what King said about capitalism. Again, interesting. But I also believe that most religious leaders would have a view of fighting poverty, caring for the poor, helping provide for them, and wanting there to be additional services and support to lift them out of poverty. Frankly, I also wouldn't necessarily expect a person with religious training to be an expert on the economy. I think it would be easy for him to find the flaws in capitalism - as he also sees the people impacted. But that doesn't mean he knows a better way. For example - as much as he wanted to fight poverty in the US, I'm guessing that if you'd plopped him down in a communist/socialist country during his same era, he would've had similar things to say about their economic system.

I just read an article about AOC's primary challenger who is backed by the US Chamber of Commerce. At the end of the article there was some suggested reading:

She is so incredibly useless it is unbelievable. Is she a committed believer, a useful idiot, or a pandering genius?Comment

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

Most people would say stupid. I don’t think she is as dumb as many people say she is. In fact, I think she has figured out how to play big girl politics at a very young age. So I’m going with liar.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post

I tend to lean this way, but I also think she genuinely believes some of the economic "theories" she puts forth. If she believes what she says, her understanding of economics is literally grade school level at best.Originally posted by Art Vandelay View Post
Edit: and yes she has a degree in economics so I guess that would be evidence in the liar column?Comment

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
