if the world's top economist...

[UncleBuck]

...decides to quit his job to pursue his butterfly catching hobby, are his economic insights suddenly useless?

yes or no.

 

[Canna Sylvan]

If he goes on the dole to do it, then yes. If he does it with his own money, it's a retirement/vacation. This is like asking if you still beat your wife. Butt hurt thread fail.

so, the economic insights of a person vanish if they go on food stamps?

detail the logic behind that statement, wabbit.

 

[Dr Kynes]

any person may at their pleasure choose any vocation they like, as long as they do not demand somebody else foot the bill for their new career.

also it may matter a great deal to those poor butterflies.

 

[Canna Sylvan]

Think about what you just wrote. How successful are his plans if he's on food stamps. No matter how good he was, when you fail like that, you become a has been. They gonna pick him up each day at his bush in the park? You can't be serious.

Hey, everyone give bucky a break... It has been months since he had a debate topic he thought he could win!

Well, theoretically this is in the Obama 2nd term where everyone making 250K a year or more gets taxed at 100% and food stamps start getting paid out at 70K income.

so the world's top economist, who has made correct prediction after correct prediction after correct prediction, decides to quit his job, give away his possessions, and be a vagrant on food stamps. does his knowledge suddenly vanish because he has decided to no longer be gainfully employed?

do your retired parents no longer have a say in things because they are retired?

Well, theoretically this is in the Obama 2nd term where everyone making 250K a year or more gets taxed at 100% and food stamps start getting paid out at 70K income.

more retarded fear mongering from desperate righties.

yawn.

Which top economist is this?

Or are you just continuing your hypothetical fantasy in a sad attempt to be right about something for once?

it's whoever you want it to be.

i see you answered that economic insight magically vanishes if someone quits their job.

explain to me how that works. what mechanism makes that knowledge base disappear?

Unless the world's top economist whether by elevation or whatever measure you are using happens to post here, your question is irrelevant and idiotic.

 

[Canna Sylvan]

Bucky,
It's cool he wants to do that, but obviously if he goes on food stamps to do it, his mindset changed.If a pastor comes out he's really been an atheist all these years ever since getting out of seminary.What has changed about his insight as a pastor?

 

[UncleBuck]

it's actually very relevant.

you see, a racist member of this website claimed that your opinion doesn't count unless you are paying taxes.

a lawnmower pushing kiddo joined with him in agreement.

i contend otherwise. i contend that economic insights do not vanish once gainful employment does.

and you have yet to justify your assertion that knowledge magically vanishes by uttering the phrase "i quit".

there's still time, kiddo! convince me that the words "i quit" function as some sort of knowledge erasing wunderphrase.

does his base of knowledge vanish magically by entering a food stamps line?

how does that work?

 

[Canna Sylvan]

Bucky,
I'm sorry. But I can't take a dude seriously who's on food stamps, even by choice on what our economy should do. I hardly doubt any sane person would. Even other homeless would laugh.

 

[RyanTheRhino]

The truth is that it won't matter. The only people with revolutionary insite get laughed away completely destroying reputations.

Years later they find the truth but it's to late the parameters have changed and require a diffrent formula.

the question is not whether you take them seriously, it is whether or not their knowledge or the validity of their predictions stemming from that knowledge somehow vanishes.

if so, by what mechanism?

you clearly realize you have no answers, so you are weaseling away from this one and changing the goalposts before it's too late.

 

[RyanTheRhino]

if so, by what mechanism?

Use it or lose it.
