A cartoon depicts a chasm with a rope bridge, once connecting both sides, cut and hanging from the side of the cliff, sabotaged by a suit standing on the well forested right side beside a spool of rope and holding a saw. The left side of the chasm is a wasteland of sawn tree stumps. There’s a sign that reads “Please return saw and rope when done”. An empty box sits beneath the sign. The suit calls out to a person in the wasteland on the left side of the chasm “BUILD YOUR OWN DAMN BRIDGE LIKE I DID!” The person in the wasteland replies “WITH WHAT?! “

    Sorry, but you are trying to argue that black is white. It’s pointless.

    You then present my argument back to me that it is expensive to have two specialised teams.

    A maintenance crew does not build bridges. It would be too expensive to have architects and engineers sitting around waiting for a bridge to be built

    It’s an inefficient use of capital, which was my initial point… Just saying socialism fixes all problems is naive at best.

      Are you going to stop insulting me? Because I don’t see a reason to continue this conversation unless I know that this post isn’t just the preamble to a future insult.

          And now you are lying. You said this:

          They are two different things you moron.

          I am not interested in talking to someone who insults me and then doesn’t even have the courtesy to admit it.

          Goodbye.
