   If a business is posting billions of dollars of profit it can pay its employees a living wage. Simple as.

     @AmonMaritza @Escoffier @sickburnbro If they can give free food and houses to the invaders and niggers, they can pay normal people enough to buy there own.
     
     Which is why they aren't.
     
     But now they have to, or we won't die in the Russian meatgrinder for them.

     they would make do with robots. also, there would be a lot of inflation if everyone made that much. the truth is money isn’t worth much. a good pair of shoes is 300-400 dollars.

     @Eiregoat @VaxxSabbath @Escoffier @TactlessWookie @wing_str jews are certainly well known for say .. cutting corners, but don't ignore the fact that whites have done this many times over the centuries - guilds, crown companies, etc.

     @Eiregoat @Escoffier @TactlessWookie @sickburnbro @wing_str and here we veer off again into Lolbertstan

     evidence that this is not the case: all of modern society

     the very first action of any entremanure who strikes it rich: find a way to hamstring all of his competition

     the second action is to find a way to make it impossible for his customers to avoid paying the rent, which gets jacked up to obscene levels

     "economic power" is not in any way different from "any other kind of power", and if it is misused - and it is 100% misused these days - it must be broken up

     jews are absolute geniuses at using regulations and other slimy tricks to hamstring their competition. Then they arrange all the prices at the synagogue and us goyim suddenly wonder why all the grocery prices are going up at the same time and mom and pop stores are going extinct.
     
     > "economic power" is not in any way different from "any other kind of power", and if it is misused - and it is 100% misused these days - it must be broken up
     
     Agreed, or circumvented. I'm a huge fan of Whites building parallel economies. I'm generally willing to pay up to 50% extra for any one thing if I know it's coming from a small White business. A lot more if it's a small expense.

     @Escoffier @wing_str @TactlessWookie @Eiregoat @sickburnbro oh, don't get me wrong: I have no problem with someone enjoying the fruits of outsized genius, to include "unbelievably large amounts of profit"

     I simply think that that profit should be the result of actual genius, not rent-seeking, arbitrage, strip-mining God's creation or one's local society, or any other "clever" trick, and they should have it taken away if/when they misuse that profit ("to whom much is given, of him is much expected")

     noblesse oblige is not optional

     Mind blowing profits due to genius are usually called "super normal profits" by economists. They do happen once in a blue moon in imo are deserved.
     
     But absent some kind of enforced monopoly like patents or public contracts they usually immediately get attacked by competition and get driven down to what are called "normal profits." Which are usually the opportunity cost for the people in that business.
     
     There are a few industries which are weird in that respect, like art, but for the most part direct competition is possible.

     @wing_str @TactlessWookie @Eiregoat @sickburnbro I would phrase it differently because I still see the statement of "too much profit" as just one more billionaire approved talking point. How about "profit skimmed off the labor of our employees?" Or "Profit stolen from our employees?"
     
     I used to write about immigration and every phrase people used painted invaders in a sympathetic light or denigrated anyone who resisted to overwhelming of this nation by invaders.

     @TactlessWookie @Eiregoat @sickburnbro I understand the concern but go through this thread and read my interlocutors points. Its straight billionaire approved talking points. Remember all I said was any business posting billion dollar profits (by definition) afford to pay proper wages you can live on. We have just been beaten over the head with this idea that if don't grind employees down for the purpose of more profit. Why are we ok with that?

     @Escoffier @TactlessWookie @Eiregoat @sickburnbro We have given up on what Jesus told us:
     
     "And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me."
     
     Who the fuck cares how much profit is OK or not? A 90 year old veteran (yes zogbot blah blah but he didn't know that shit when he was 18) is starving and working menial labor. The grocery store could put a stop to it entirely - "Sir, you have served our company by serving our country. Groceries are on us as long as you need them."
     
     Or just pay him 8x better than the 15 year old nigger who won't go get the carts. Something.
     
     This bullshit where we have to give alms to everyone, not just those in need, is jewish pilpul and should be answered with rope. Soon it will be, unfortunately.
     
     "How much profit is too much?" Any at all when veterans are starving, kids are starving, young men are committing suicide and OD-ing on every imaginable substance. Winn-Dixie can't take the money to Heaven.

     They only operate ~550 stores, so I doubt they make billions.
     
     Anyhow, yes, if you redistributed all their profits to the employees then their paychecks would be slightly higher, but not by that much. And the company would start to decline due to a lack of reinvestment.

     this archetype is not limited to only one particular ethny

     Some people just can't handle their booze, so it should be taken away, its no different than drinking goysoda and such. niggerweed and such obviously have to go as well, but thats easy.

     Zoomers aren't gonna buy the supplies and tools for their own still when I ban their Twisted Tea.
     
     I would feel bad about closing century old vineyards and such, they can keep exporting. But the main goal is to make it where there's so many hoops to jump through most people will choose to be sober, with sattelite tracking and the introduction of the modern police state, this is possible.

     @Largo @Eiregoat @Escoffier @TactlessWookie @sickburnbro Zoomers are already buying the very simple and readily available supplies to brew their own wine. Distillation isn't that difficult, either, though copper is expensive.
     
     I brew a significant amount of mead annually, and soon I'll harvest my own honey from which to brew it. Also looking at how to brew booze with sourdough starter, which will be neat.

     Yeah, but that's not for us to judge. We're not gods, we're just men. Even if our fellow traveller stumbling is divine intervention we should still help them up.
     
     > Bars & Liqour Stores
     
     Purity spirals are real. Most people can handle alcohol, denying it to everyone because some people can't control themselves isn't a solution. You can't remove every single sensory temptation from the world.
     
     > I borderline support enforcing prohibition anymore.
     
     There's a reason it got cancelled: It doesn't work and it did more harm than good. Criminalising alcohol just turns half the population into criminals.

     Only one of these did Christ produce in vast quantities for people to enjoy at a wedding.

     @wing_str @Eiregoat @Escoffier @TactlessWookie @sickburnbro False equivalency. Bad Drivers aren't fueling the destruction of Western Civilization. However, hedonists sedated by their weed, porn, goyslop, booze, etc. are destroying Western Civilization.

     There is a line somewhere but booze isn't it.

     People would just make their own. Already the country is dotted with shebeens.
     
     Plus, in practice that means only rich people can afford to drink. It doesn't really stop the problem.

     @Eiregoat @dubbub @Escoffier @Largo @TactlessWookie @wing_str indeed, and as we can see with trannies, they will do horrible things until they are socially proscribed.
     
     As someone has said, "a fine on an action just means it is reserved for the rich"

     > drunkenness should be made impossible (by raising taxes).
     
     They tried that here. Result? Bars are dying, everyone drinks at home.

     @Eiregoat @Escoffier @Largo @TactlessWookie @sickburnbro @wing_str I mean taxes on all alcohol sales, not just in bars.

     @Eiregoat @wing_str @Escoffier @Largo @TactlessWookie @dubbub absolutely. But remember the social proscription on being a drunkard is also useful for forcing society to do something like put them in a place where they get sober and then have the resources.

     I've personally found shame is a terrible motivation for alcoholics, it just makes them drink more.
     
     Usually the best cure is to help them deal with whatever underlying issue is driving them to drink.
