Applause, comrades! Listen, Trump is no longer my friend. My new friend is comrade Kamala. Alexey Antonov Publication in CHAT: Russia I read the announcement of the US presidential candidate Kamala Harris's program (Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/08/16/kamala-harris-2024-policy-child-tax-credit/) ). Look, Trump is not my friend anymore. My new friend is Comrade Kamala. Urgent! Redirect the forces of our hackers, interfere with the elections of the other side. This is exactly the president America needs: grants of up to $ 25 thousand for first-time mortgage borrowers. Newborn benefits of up to $ 6 thousand for low- and middle-income families. Up to $ 3.6 thousand US dollars per child per year in the form of an expanded child tax credit. A ban on price increases in the food sector, especially meat prices. Democrats are ready to promise anything to win, and that's great. If implemented, this will kill the United States (Soviet States of America) much faster than expected. Our vote is for Kamala! And I am also in pleasant anticipation of a great profit. Whoever wins, all this can be traded perfectly well on the stock market. Against the backdrop of the election platforms of dear candidates, gold has reached its highest values (https://tradingEconomics.com/commodity/gold#:~:text=Gold%20increased%20441.66%20USD%2Ft,2509.65 %20in%20August%20of%202024) in the entire history of observations. I propose that from now on, Russian communists are automatically considered foreign agents in favor of the United States. ===== It seems that not everyone understands what the problems are with Kamala's communist program. Let me remind you of a few interesting facts from the world of real economics. Take, for example, fixed prices for products. Where does the price of milk come from? The cheerful milkman gets milk from a cow on a farm, he has expenses, he has profitability, he has demand from buyers, and all this comes together somewhere at one point, when the price is formed. He is not interested in selling at a lower price, because it is not profitable. At a higher price, people start buying from him little by little. This is how supply and demand works, and that is why we have everything. Because some people are interested in putting on their pairs, and others want their fancy moustaches to flow with milk. But there are many citizens here who do not have enough milk. You are elected president, and you think - how can I convince the degenerates of the electorate to vote for me? I will set a price for milk for them! How can I do this? You can say: "Cheerful milkman, you live too well, sell your milk cheaper." And he will answer you and say: Who are you? I did not invite you; Then stretch your dicks, in your government. ” And he will not sell milk. If you force him to sell milk cheap, you pass a law and he starts doing it by force of arms, then there will be more people who want to buy cheap milk than real milk, otherwise they would have bought it earlier, at a higher price, it is simply not profitable to produce it at such a price, and so the milkman would do it. You will have a shortage. At the same time, the wear and tear of the cow, the cost of gasoline for the milking boat - all this does not get cheaper. Frustration and lack of motivation cause a loss-making business. Or will he go into an unregulated industry? I will even go to Mexico and sell cocaine. Well, let's not let the milkman go around the world on the cheap, we will not force him to sell an endless amount of milk, but we will introduce some standards. For example, we will prohibit the sale of large quantities of cheap milk to one person. We will sell 10 liters a day at a discount. What will this lead to? You have 15 people who want to buy a liter of milk, and there are only 10 liters for sale. Who should get the milk? Beneficiaries, large families, those who got in line in the morning, friends of the milkman's wife, those who bought the queue of those who got in line, those who asked the beneficiary to buy him milk at his own discretion. quota... you will have a black market or non-market mechanisms for obtaining much-needed milk. Because it is necessary, and the concept of "fairness" in a world of endless needs but limited resources has very little application. To put it mildly. Then maybe make separate shops with fixed prices, dividing "social" and regular? Well, so that without suffering for those who have money? Then you have arbitrage, because you can take "social" milk in one place, take it to another place where the price is market, and sell it there. Again a black market in milk! Or it will be worse in the social shop, that is, social milk will be bad, but for normal money it will be normal. Or we will have to prohibit the free flow of milk and introduce liability for speculation. Otherwise, the money will flow through the milk from state social stores to the “market” stores, and someone will “make a profit on this.” Oh well, maybe we won’t legislatively limit milk prices and engage in repression, but subsidize the difference from the budget? Citizens will buy milk for 50 kopecks, with the market price being 100 kopecks, and we will add half to the milk producers from the budget? Where will the budget get so much money? Our budget is generally in deficit, the external debt is huge, but that’s normal. Let’s print more money. And we will “report this money to citizens for the milk” (and steal a little, about a third). The printing press will increase the amount of money in the economy, which we will invest in it ourselves. The printed money handed out to milk producers as “compensation” for low prices appeared practically out of thin air. And then it will go from the milk producers to salaries, expenses, and the purchase of new cows, for example. And we have the same number of cows for sale (how are they different from dairy cows?), and there is more money in the economy. And everyone needs more (cheap) milk. What to feed the cows. Cows are getting more expensive. Everything is getting more expensive – inflation is happening. Inflation occurs both for those citizens who do not need milk at all, and for those who have nothing to do with the dairy industry – inflation will hit them too. Everything will become more expensive for them: gasoline, bread, real estate and education. We will subsidize not only milk, but also many other things, very important and necessary. It turns out that, wanting to provide citizens with cheap milk, we still take money from them for it OUT OF THEIR POCKET. Nothing appears out of thin air. How is the problem of shortage of cheap milk solved? In fact, there is only one. Someone has to do without milk. You can not set prices and provide everyone with free "something". Temporarily, of course, it is possible. But then everything will go in a certain direction (see the Soviet Union, Venezuela, Argentina – inflation everywhere, or a black market and a deficit, or both). Okay, now you'll write to me that I'm a fucking capitalist and am not ready to provide citizens with at least cheap milk. I agree - for example, humanity will be able to provide everyone with milk. But! Today everyone has milk at a fixed price, and tomorrow everyone wants to have quality meat at a fixed price. Then fashionable jeans (3 pairs). Then unlimited Internet. Then a Mercedes-Benz convertible. Human desires have no end. In principle, we cannot be content with what everyone else has. Our brain gives us "success hormones" only when we have something that others do not. And here's another hour of a lecture on motivation and development (we'll skip it). Just know that a person wants the best for himself. Somewhere it's bread and a jug of wine in the middle of burning Rome, and somewhere it's your own yacht on the Cote d'Azur. The concept of "living with dignity" over the past hundred years has gone from hot water once a week to the ability to fly a thousand kilometers on a big iron bird just to "rest". No, seriously, it has already been declared as an inalienable human right, the deputies will not let you lie. They are already speculating on this in their populism. Thus, it will not be possible to "fix" and "provide" something important for people (they are always interested in what they do not have). So, absolutely for everyone. This is sick nonsense. This does not mean that inequality cannot be fought and that it is impossible to help those who have less money or those who are less fortunate. It means that the laws of economics cannot be overcome, and the difference in what is consumed is the norm, the basis and an integral part of people's lives. Attempts to build communism are needed by political forces that want to promise fools an obviously impossible amount of benefits in order to get their votes/bayonets, and then take power and do good first of all for themselves, that is, the Politburo of the depths. state Therefore, you…
