When rate of return on capital > growth the rich just get richer. Not quite as dire as Marx's principle of infinite accumulation, but a far cry from the Kuznets curve.

No, you (general) leftists like to think you are more learned and knowledgeable (you aren't btw), but it's much more fundamental.
Were you better educated, even in high school, were you made to read the Grapes of Wrath and the Great Gatsby and other works instead of whatever they taught you you would understand that your argument is prima facia absurd.
It's only possible to believe the things you do by being uninformed, or say in Bernie's case, stubbornly misinformed holding on to hippie delusions, the vestiges of a revolution that never happened.
Please explain how your vote will stop climate change. TIA.
You argued months ago you were from eky. It all came up because I pointed out middlesboro is not the mountains because the mountains is eastern ky.
That makes my point even more salient and no circling around to the more you know.
You should be able to use your own reasoning ability to understand there's no there there to your ideology, it's a fool's hope against all the data, logic and history.
Move to renewable energy and put international pressure on others to do the same.
By reducing the concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
What about able bodied non-workers? How should they be taken care of?
Also, if you increase regulations and corporate taxes, what is the incentive for businesses to grow, and make advancements in their field or industry? What’s their incentive to create jobs and innovate?
Good luck getting China and India on board with that.
these idiots and their climate change religion. the climate changing has more to do with our planet's position in the solar system and our relationship with the sun, our ever changing axis tilt, our solar system's relationship with it's even bigger place in the galaxy than it has anything to do with carbon emissions. we are only in our infancy in beginning to understand these things but our weather patterns on earth have everything to do with our relationship with our celestial sun god and have little to do with us little humanoids have done.

The PAIS Alliance (Spanish: Alianza PAIS (Patria Altiva i Soberana); English: PAIS Alliance (Proud and Sovereign Homeland); país also means "country" in Spanish) is an Ecuadorian center-left social democratic, and originally democratic socialist[7] political party.
Use your own reasoning abilities, it's a war on reality you engage in that can never be won.
First you must try.

The climate's always changing. Everything's in flux on geologic timescales. Earth's been a ball of fire, a ball of ice, and everything in between over its history. What we're talking about are human timescales. Climate changing over millions of years gives evolution time to change life along with it. Massive climate change in a handful of centuries does not.
You are going to stop what is always changing?
The distance I talked about above was in about 1000 years. And it was massive.
Pressure? What is pressure? Bombing/eliminating all of China's coal plants? If not, you're not serious.
You can’t move to renewable energy, it won’t maintain the grid.
You’re being fed a line of BS to rile up your emotions.
Why would you "solve" it? Why is inequality a problem? It's a result of choices people make.
Where is the proof that CO2 has caused a temperature rise?
If you have enough to meet your needs, what difference does it make what others have? This is all a red herring.
Oh yea, here's Bloomberg on the great Jack Wilson killing terrorist in TX church:
"“I wasn’t there,” (LOL) Bloomberg told his audience. “I don’t know the facts (Double LOL)—that somebody in the congregation had their own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people. But it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot. You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.” WTF, Bloomberg! You F-ing idiot!.
As critics pointed out, if the Bloomberg rule had prevailed and the people in those pews had to wait until cops arrived, many more innocent citizens would have been maimed or murdered. " Really. Libs have to love this. And he positions himself as their sane candidate.

The Last Glacial Maximum? They melted due to increased greenhouse gas concentrations and increased solar output. Which further illustrates the effect humans are having currently, because our temperature is rising significantly faster than then while we're in a period of decreasing solar output unlike then. The correlation is the CO2.
You have to solve it so to speak because it disrupts society, tension between haves and have nots leads to instability, violence and other bad outcomes like all this nonsense we see today. It doesn't matter that you have way more than you could have ever dreamed, it's that the other guy has more and it's not fair; wouldn't it just be better if we all had what we need when we needed it? Chuck that guy, I'm just going to take it, it's what I deserve! Why should he have it all, he's not better than me! He probably stole it from someone anyway. Rise up against those exploiting us to take back what's rightfully ours, for the people!
The argument however fails any and all analysis from any discipline, from any angle... except it doesn't fail that feeling of disgust you have that someone else has what you don't and that's not fair.
And then the real problem happens when you get what you want, Venezuela for instance, and find you just recreated the same problem you had before, only much much worse.
But I agree fundamentally with what you mean, people are not equal we have different strengths and weaknesses that lead to different outcomes. That's a feature, not a bug.
