>turbo retarded right-wing economists: da econmy is not a zero-sum gam huuuduur!
Why cannot econo-idiots understand that there is no such than as a system that isn't zero-sum.

The first law of thermodynamics states energy cannot be created or destroyed nigger! Even the universe says there is no free lunch. No matter how much money you print, no matter how many innovations you come up with, you will never be able create more shit like magic out of thin air.

The economy is a zero-sum game! If one person is mega rich it absolutely means that many are poor to compensate.

This is exactly why wealth redistribution needs to happen. Wealth inequality is the single largest destroyer of empires and nations all throughout human history. It cannot increase forever. Doing so would result in one man having all the wealth while the rest have absolutely nothing at all.

Don't believe in right-wing economist Shekelburg's lies of "growing the pie" the size of pie is set in stone, and it cannot increase or decrease. You either get a smaller slice and struggle while the rich get more, or you fight for a bigger slice for yourself and the people. There is no other option.

trust the poors who can't figure out how to make money in a rigged system to control all instead
that's an idea. btw I'm ready to order you can fetch my drink now

If it was a zero sum game we would all still be living in tribes

Think of public officials like miners who are elected into power. These miners are perversely incentivized to distribute resources to people who bribe them, instead of distributing resources in ways that improve civilization. Ostensibly there are laws in place to prevent this behavior, but if no one enforces them, these laws functionally don't exist. Civilization increasingly sees less benefit from trade and economic activity, as the actual benefits are funneled from these compromised miners directly to those who incentivize them. These attackers then use a portion of the resources received to compromise the miners further. As you can see, the game design of the system is broken

Wealth distribution in society actually mirrors energy distributions of gas particles in a container very close. And is a big reason why our economy is a zero-sum system unlike typical economists want to believe. This field is called econophysics and it's honestly better and more truthful than mainstream economics.

You know even on a gold standard this is not a zero sum game, right? Someone comes up with good shit, makes a factory to make the good shit, employs people to make the good shit (they do because the pay is better than the other options they had), and people get the good shit.

the first law of thermodynamics dictates that energy is conserved, but there are different forms of energy, such as work and heat. Look at the equation. The whole point of classical thermodynamics was to maximize useful energy (work) within a process. In doing so, this is where terms like gibb's free energy and entropy arise.
It's true that the game of life is based on an interplay of entropy and energy, but the game of life is not a zero-sum. There is still opportunity to to scoop up free energy in the environment and convert it into something useful. But in the long-term for any closed system it is negative sum due to the second law. In order for the process of life to continue, it must continually break the barriers of the system imposed on it.

Lol society is definitly not richer than in the stone age or middle ages. Lol its not like inventions create value. Ore Rocks definitly have the same value as pure metal bars and the same value as machined parts and the same value as a car.
