Tibs still chasing the outliers in an attempt to prove the narrative he provided.

People Don't Actually Want Equality. They Want Fairness. - Evonomics Bernie Sanders talks about economic inequality all the time, and it’s a message that resonates. You don’t need to be a socialist to worry about the divide between rich and poor in America. Many Americans across the political spectrum claim to be deeply troubled by economic inequality, and many say they support changes that would yield a more equal distribution of income and wealth. But in his just-published book, On Inequality, the philosopher Harry Frankfurt argues that economic equality has no intrinsic value. This is a moral claim, but it’s also a psychological one: Frankfurt suggests that if people take the time to reflect, they’ll realize that inequality isn’t really what’s bothering them. People might be troubled by what they see as unjust causes of economic inequality, a perfectly reasonable concern given how much your income and wealth are determined by accidents of birth, including how much money your parents had, your sex, and the color of your skin. We are troubled as well by potential consequences of economic inequality. We may think it corrodes democracy, or increases crime, or diminishes overall happiness. Most of all, people worry about poverty—not that some have less, but rather “that those with less have too little.” Frankfurt argues, though, that we aren’t really bothered by inequality for its own sake. He points out that few worry about inequalities between the very rich and the very well off, even though these might be greater, both absolutely and proportionately, than inequalities between the moderately well-off and the poor. A world in which everyone suffered from horrible poverty would be a perfectly equal one, he says, but few would prefer that to the world in which we now live. Therefore, “equality” can’t be what we really value. Some of Frankfurt’s arguments get technical, but it’s not hard to think of cases where a mistaken focus on equality makes the world worse. My favorite example here is from the comedian Louis C.K., where he describes how his five-year-old’s toy broke and she demanded that he break her sister’s toy, which would make things equal. “And I did. I was like crying. And I look at her. She’s got this creepy smile on her face.” Can Frankfurt really be right that people don’t value economic equality for its own sake? Many scholars believe otherwise. The primatologist Frans de Waal sums up a popular view when he writes: “Robin Hood had it right. Humanity’s deepest wish is to spread the wealth.” Fairness People Don’t Actually Want Equality. They Want Fairness. The invisible hand of egalitarianism.

Many scholars believe otherwise. The primatologist Frans de Waal sums up a popular view when he writes: “Robin Hood had it right. Humanity’s deepest wish is to spread the wealth.” In support of de Waal, researchers have found that if you ask children to distribute items to strangers, they are strongly biased towards equal divisions, even in extreme situations. The psychologists Alex Shaw and Kristina Olson told children between the ages of six and eight about two boys, Dan and Mark, who had cleaned up their room and were to be rewarded with erasers—but there were five of them, so an even split was impossible. Children overwhelmingly reported that the experimenter should throw away the fifth eraser rather than establish an unequal division. They did so even if they could have given the eraser to Dan or Mark without the other one knowing, so they couldn’t have been worrying about eliciting anger or envy. It might seem as though these responses reflect a burning desire for equality, but more likely they reflect a wish for fairness. It is only because Dan and Mark did the same work that they should get the same reward. And so when Shaw and Olson told the children “Dan did more work than Mark,” they were quite comfortable giving three to Dan and two to Mark. In other words, they were fine with inequality, so long as it was fair. Equity is what he has in those mansions he owns.

I don't think they really understand. They started this post as some kind of win to show trumps agenda doesn't have support.

Day in Day out the farmers tell us why the right is bad. but never what the democrats offer that helps or is good for US. Cause that platform is horrific for Americans. So, they gaslight about the right nonstop. The script is boringly predictable.

Tibs focusing on the outlier because he tried to make a "Right bad" profile and actually showed his disdain for the states with the largest minority populations. Remember, working out. Taking care of your health is white supremacy. per lefties

They constantly treat minorities like they can't take care of themselves and need assistance. its an ugly form of racism wrapped in self-absorbed white night narrative. Same thing when you talk ID to vote the actual gun problem the actual crime problem the extreme poverty problem

you have bad data. in 2016. 180K people voted in the Iowa Caucus. trump came in second in the first round. in 2024, 110K people voted in the Iowa Caucus. Trump came in first. https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/primaries/iowa https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/iowa/

could you imagine. LMAO

If it was so, why are they rushing to our border to get asylum? Now for this country and what we vote for. you know. for our representative government. OUR. My eyes must be lying when watching the homeless population grow in front of our faces. Most of us never voted for Clouse, the Devos elites or any of the "World order engineers" you're referencing. they have become way too big for their britches. Welp. Him and places like Forbes had him at 10B in 2015, and 2.5B in 2020 What Is Donald Trump's Net Worth and What Are His Assets? (investopedia.com) "As president of the United States, Donald Trump was likely the wealthiest individual ever to inhabit the White House. But his actual net worth remains a matter of debate. In 2015, Trump claimed in a press release that he was worth more than $10 billion.1 In November 2023, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index put his net worth at $3.1 billion, up $500 million since 2021.2 Forbes magazine, however, which has been tracking Trump's wealth for decades, estimated it in September 2023 at $2.6 billion.3"

and still got 51% of the vote.

He said the right things to get a cabinet position. maybe.

MLK. great american with a great message. Current DEMS destroying his message and going back in time to promote race and sex-based hiring and promotion policies. LMAO. First off, you know that pathetic **** doesn't leave the house. Second. You know damn strait if it does, its not leaving its little non diverse enclave. But you nailed it about him being a complete keyboard commando. money says he wouldn't say 90 percent of the BS he posts here, to an actual person.

So he talked Hamas into the terrorist attack on 10-7?

Lashing out like a child. Kinda pathetic. But the norm

English please.

Why yes. You both are. But way to low of an IQ to grasp it

Lol. Anything to attack the right. It's Dem states and cities that are both war zones and seeing people flee from them.

Lol at the lefties that don't even grasp how badly he won that event. Even Dem money Haley came in behind Ron. The normies, centrist, Indis, eighties don't care that a horse of lefties is tossing insults. This Biden/corporate/globalist platform sucks for most. Stay mad. That picture does kind show the statist and always agreeing mob of you.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/16/investing/premarket-stocks-trading/index.html New YorkCNN — Switzerland’s skies are ablaze this week with jets carrying business and political leaders, news pundits and billionaires into Davos for the World Economic Forum (WEF), an annual event where the elite hash out the most pressing issues of the year over $150 steaks and $40 martinis. This year, more than 60 heads of state, including Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron and China’s second-in-command Li Qiang, will be in attendance. The United States is also sending Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry. Business executives include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, to name a few. With several major countries approaching pivotal elections this year (half the world’s population is going to the polls in 2024), leaders are concerned about how these events might reshape international alliances and economic policies. Of particular interest are the Republican primaries in the United States and how Donald Trump, who won the first GOP contest of 2024 in Iowa last night, might fare. “It is a threat, it is something that worries people to a great extent, but it can also be perhaps a wake-up call (for Europe),” BlackRock vice chairman Philipp Hildebrand told CNN’s Richard Quest on Monday of Trump’s run for reelection. The WEF’s Global Risks report, published last week, found climate change to be one of the biggest risks facing the world. The report also said that cooperation among global leaders on the issue is scarce. So while leaders will likely discuss the use of fossil fuels and green development, there may not be much agreement. The WEF, meanwhile, said that an increase in extreme weather events, including rising temperatures and rampant floods and wildfires, could lead to a “global catastrophe” within 10 years. Is that why the elites are making bunkers and moving to the seashore? The World Bank said last week that the global economy is likely to slow to its worst half decade of growth in the past 30 years. Without “a major course correction,” the bank said, this will be “a decade of wasted opportunity.” “It’s going to be very difficult to make money,” Nicolai Tangen, the CEO of Norges Bank, which manages Norway’s $1.4 trillion government pension fund and calls itself the world’s biggest single investor in the stock market, told CNN’s Quest at Davos. “I think inflation will be difficult to kill off and we are seeing wage increases in many parts of the world. You see the climate (government actions like the red sea) impacting inflation now, you see transport routes being impacted, geopolitics is not great, so it doesn’t look particularly good,” he said. What does military logistics and use do for the climate? Geopolitical tensions: With conflict in Europe and the Middle East and growing tensions between the United States and China, geopolitics will be another major topic of conversation. Leaders gathered in Davos Sunday to discuss Ukrainian President Zelensky’s 10-point peace plan to end Russia’s war with his country. Zelensky is expected to give a speech later Tuesday and meet with JPMorgan’s Dimon. Israeli President Herzog, meanwhile, will participate in a conversation about “achieving security and cooperating in a fractured world,” with US Secretary of State Blinken and WEF executive chairman Klaus Schwab later this week. The five wealthiest people on Earth have become a whole lot richer in recent years, reports my colleague Tami Luhby. Since 2020, the net worths of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett have skyrocketed by 114% to a collective total of $869 billion after taking inflation into account, according to Oxfam’s annual inequality report, released Sunday. If current trends continue, the world could see its first trillionaire in a decade. At the same time, nearly 5 billion people globally have become poorer, as they contend with inflation, war and the climate crisis. It would take nearly 230 years to eliminate poverty based on the current trajectory.

You know they lost it when they are openly talking about assassinating the other party's candidate. Effing moronic

How many Buffalo folks died in last year's blizzard.

Rape is tried in a criminal court. someone is desperate to use words that don't fit for propaganda reasons.

Eff, the red sea being out of commission is going to drive up the cost of everything. seems all the groups doing the attacking right now, are known military wings, funded and directed by IRAN.

The left is desperate to make this into way more than it is. Like always. then you would be one of his biggest supporters
