Doesn't the US military have a Hit Squad?

@umbrarchist.bsky.socialOct 19, 2026, 7:00 AM

Yeah, I used one working in the camera department when I was in high school. Who are you calling Old?

What Adam Smith actually said and what we are told about "Capitalism" are two different things. I call this system "CorpsCon"! We should have had mandatory accounting in high schools. The Economics Profession is GasLighting us by ignoring planned obsolescence and Demand-Side Depreciation.

@umbrarchist.bsky.socialOct 19, 2026, 12:38 AM

Am I surprised? Am I shocked? Am I even disturbed? YAWN! Has the US military figured out what a "Domestic Enemy" is yet?

This was certainly courageous and informative. 🤣

Economists are free to explain why they haven't been advocating mandatory accounting in schools since 1950. That Adam Smith guy used the word 'education' Eighty Times in Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times. Marx mentioned 'depreciation' 100+ times but no cars then.

@umbrarchist.bsky.socialOct 17, 2026, 10:51 PM

Economists sometimes talk about some guy named Adam Smith. He used the word 'education' Eighty Times in his book Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times. I have not heard of economists advocating mandatory accounting in schools or criticising Planned Obsolescence in cars.

PO = Scam Where are people talking about how Planned Obsolescence transfers Wealth Upwards? What have economists been saying about the Depreciation of Automobiles since Sputnik? Ask two or more AIs when PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in cars. NDP = GDP - Depreciation

Why Trump cannot figure out and comprehend that he is stupid is a more interesting question.

@umbrarchist.bsky.socialOct 17, 2026, 5:59 PM

Geology requires some comprehension and acceptance of Physics. Economists "Know" that Physics does not apply to automobiles purchased by consumers. 70 years of Demand-Side Depreciation is irrelevant!

"The word pathetic is an adjective that primarily means causing feelings of sadness, pity, or compassionate sorrow, or expressing miserable inadequacy that provokes scorn or contempt." He only gets the "scorn and contempt"!

@umbrarchist.bsky.socialOct 17, 2026, 5:51 PM

Would mandatory accounting in high schools since 1950 have been anti-Fascist? How much do Americans lose on the Depreciation of automobiles each year?

Yeah, what did Karl Marx know about 'depreciation'?

@umbrarchist.bsky.socialOct 17, 2026, 5:42 PM

What is the story with English speaking countries?

Adam Smith used the word 'education' EIGHTY Times in Wealth of Nations. He wrote "read, write and ACCOUNT" FIVE times.

We could have had mandatory accounting in high schools since 1950.
When have economists advocated that?

Explore Economics with Artificial Intelligence: 1. Ask an AI when PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles. 2. Ask an AI why it makes sense to leave the Depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods, especially Automobiles, out of the NET Domestic Product equation. šŸ˜†šŸ¤£šŸ˜†šŸ’ø

How Economics Works!?! How did it work before 1920? How has it worked since 1955? Ask two or more AIs when PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles? What is the NET Domestic Product? Where is the Data on the Annual Depreciation of Automobiles since Sputnik?

Ask two or more AIs when PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles. The road to serfdom is paved with BMWs. John Maynard Keynes never saw a TV commercial for an automobile. We are not in Keynesland any more, Toto! What is Demand-Side Depreciation anyway?
