What exactly do you think happens to the money you spend at the grocery store on bacon? It goes to the people producing it. And then they make more.
they were already paid before the store bought or received the bacon. and after you spend money, it's not yours and you can't decide what happens to it.
Lmao. I hope you are just trolling because that's a 2nd grade answer. There is no way you are a serious person who has serious opinions about the world.
But what DOES happen with it? The store restocks.
what happens when you buy beans on june 25? the store takes your money, and increases their orders of hotdogs and hamburgers using your money in preparation of july 4. the fact that the store is making that decision is not your fault, it's theirs. it's their decision to make.
5 responses in 3 minutes? Yeah, no. I'm not engaging with whatever tf this is. Using debate terminology does not mean you have a logical argument and I'm not about to go through economic semantics while you play ignorant. Think as you please and I encourage you to tell/show as many people as you can about this interaction.
packing 3 appeals to ridicule and a personal attack into 2 sentences is impressive in its own right.
this is a thought-terminating cliche.
this is a personal attack.... and an appeal to ridicule, not a rebuttal
