>2018, the system will collapse, I'm sure.

a-any year now

>buying into the "more production / more efficient production / lower production costs = lower prices" libertarian meme

Where has that ever worked out? The difference just gets pocketed. That aside things like the demography and national debts and so on will eventually fuck everything up.

wow, nigger, is not like phones and computers and everything has become cheaper.

is not like consoles of videogames become cheaper after a few years.

wow, I hate reality.

They only become cheaper after they want to move old inventory. The physical materials needed to make these things is still the same or lesser than what it was before. Real necessities like food and housing and so on have not become cheaper. It's all become more expensive.

Not with computers the CPUs are constantly being upgraded. A Pentium 4 is much cheaper to produce compared to something like a Icore-7 yet the cost of a computer has decreased

Literally everywhere.

Yes, by you. If that was not the case, you would still have to work an entire day just to afford a loaf of bread as was the case in pre-industrial societies. Now, on minimum wage, you can afford a loaf of bread with just a few minutes of labor.

Yes, the FIRST person/company to automate gets to pocket the difference, but the second one cuts their price to get market share, and the third one does the same, and so on, until the margins are razor thin.

Don't listen to the shills OP. Good post. I agree. And my money is on this year for the initial stock market collapse (like in 2007/2008). Too many insiders, hedge fund managers over the past 6 months saying things like: "we've never seen this before. We have no idea how to proceed. Central Banker meddling has completely distorted the market.

For any non-shills who don't believe a coming market collapse is coming, you should get wise. Our window to vastly expand our message will open with the collapse of the FIAT currency system and this debt based prosperity. Many non-whites will leave when the debt finally kills the world economy, as well.

>food

lets ignore the green rebellion and how now food is cheaper to produce than in centuries before.

>the system collapsed in WWI, WWII, bretton woods, big depression, 1971 nixon oil crisis, 80's asian crisis, 98 asian bubble, 2001 9/11, internet bubble 90's companies crash, 2008

but yeah, the system has never crashed before.

This is all theory that depends on actual "healthy" competition existing rather than the virtual oligopoly that exists in a lot of industries today. People will charge what they can get away with and what's more we see lobbying to successfully create literal barriers to entry to competitors in lots of cases

Libertarians also like to talk about people not going against their rational economic interests but that also gets disproven when people ideologically do so all of the time, see; current deplatforming of wrongthinkers..

The point is that despite all of the abilities to produce more of it now than ever, it's more expensive than it was just 5-10-15 years ago. I can barely afford to eat certain staple foods often anymore since the price has more than doubled.

We need Mexicans, but we need to give everyone welfare because blue collar work will be automated.

because the FED keeps printing billions of dollars, which causes inflation.

>>10407355

I'm not a burger but the same trends still apply here. Now this is in part because mass immigration is such a huge cost that money printing and national debt are just going through the roof but also just the general cost of living is up even when you account for inflation.

>>10407540

the FED wants inflation but what goverments generally do is increase nominal wage, which the FED wont do.
