Date: May 21st, 2025 8:01 PM Author: Comical Doctorate Boistinker yes, they are very good at going backwards and describing what happened while making up reasons but it never results in a predictive model and you end up with that Burry guy becoming famous because the entire field can't spot the biggest bubble in history (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5728630&forum_id=2],#48952176) |

Date: May 21st, 2025 8:04 PM Author: vermilion trust fund office The breadlines at the tail end of the USSR were caused by the introduction of market pricing for trucking services in an economy with no credit system. People couldn't pay truckers. Truckers wouldn't work. Good literally rotted. Soviets fixed for that by threatening death and labor camps for refusing to work but then Gorby got all civilized and stopped enforcing Soviet labor laws.

If communism caused breadlines, Russians would have been used to them by the 1980s. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5728630&forum_id=2],#48952182) |

Russia and Cuba conquered the continental USA in Red Dawn just a few years earlier. They should have made a Red Dawn 2 where Russia has breadlines and collapses while occupying Kansas.

It's per capita and GINI was quite good, no one talks abt this. They pretend it was North Korea but even North Korea actually isn't that bad, USSR was a lot better. Americans are brainwashed faggots, so its difficult to even have a convo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5728630&forum_id=2],#49113379) |
