The problem is that HE hasn’t changed. Still babbling on (and being well-paid to do it) about the world economy not being a “zero sum” game even though technology/transportation has made it exactly that.

No it hasn't. You don't understand economics any better than a Sanders socialist. A rising tide lifts all boats. Capitalism and free trade creates wealth and abundance for everybody who participates in it. It's why our standard of living has simply skyrocketed. Poor people in the U.S. today lead lifestyles that would have been the envy of all but the wealthiest 50 years ago. It's sad that you think transportation and technology are BAD things. They represent the unlocking of wonderful new freedoms for all of us.

B.S. Poor people live well here because the dwindling supply of hard working & taxpaying citizens in this country are paying for it...THAT is Socialism.

You are still babbling the “rising tide lifts all boats” garbage that was applicable 30 years ago. That was my POINT about technology and transportation and the idiocy of the old “zero-sum” game argument.

The global economy IS a zero-sum game...there are no new players to be had. We have nowhere to go but down unless we protect ourselves; and down we have been going for well over a decade now. Use your brain and quit spouting platitudes...the evidence is all around you, FGS.
