Why Its Pointless To Argue With Global Warming Believers 2062

I see you have no response. Please stop making absurd statements and then ignoring me when I correct them.

Yes, but in modern first-world economies, one or two percent of the workforce is all that's necessary to grow the food for everyone. The rest of the population is off generating wealth in other ways, which creates a much more dynamic, fast-moving society, dominated by rapid economic and technological change.

In other words, the fact that things were more stable in pre-industrial societies has very little to do with the fact that they often used gold coins.

Nobody really asked you.

What? Inflation *is* "the USDs slow devaluation over time". These aren't two separate effects which both must be taken into account. This is *basic* stuff. How can you think you're qualified to argue these issues without understanding it?

Once again, average inflation-adjusted income is *vastly* higher than it was in 1900, or even 1950. The reason there are often two breadwinners in a family today is *not* because individual workers have less buying power, but because:

1) There's more stuff out there that one *can* buy now, and people are willing to work for it. 2) Many women choose not to stay at home now that they actually have other options. 3) The collapse of unions has reduced real wages for *certain types* of jobs.

Note that none of these factors has anything to do with the value of the USD.

Yes, I see the problem. We're in big trouble of things keep up like that.
