You do realize I'm discussing a thing with him right now while you just throw in insults yeah? You're doing exactly what you're accusing me of.
Of what? That wealth isn't just money? That capitalism is predicated on voluntary and mutually beneficial gain? That wealth can be grown?

What you somehow don't get is that this is only true for certain products. Not all of them. Good wines tend to gain value with age. As do many antiques, or works of art by recognized artists. Hell, land tends to grow in value, given that populations keep growing and land is generally under greater demand, particularly in cities. There are essentially disposable goods, and cars are one of those, and then there are goods that are expected to maintain or grow in value.
Also, while the value of the car depreciates, the value they get from the driving of the car makes the purchase worthwhile.
You keep skipping over things that you need to place a value on, if you want to evaluate an exchange fairly.
I'm talking about consumer goods which account for the vast majority of the economy. Plus i'm also talking about when a good begins consumption not when it is purchased. Open a bottle of good wine and it's value goes through the floor. Start a new car it's value goes through the floor.

What claims about all transactions? Be specific, not the vague pedantic piece of shit you are currently.
I've pointed it out over and over. You don't understand how capitalism works. How much do you expect a mathematician to argue with someone who insists that 4 is more than 5?
If a voluntary exchange resulted in a loss of wealth how exactly do you think an economy would work?
What are we gonna do now? Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men To be young believers
Clearly has an issue that is very specific but won't say what.

You just did the same thing again.

A loss of wealth for one party and a gain for another.
That is by definition capitalism. Companies are owned privately and run for profit. Profit requires revenue greater in proportion to investment.
With the exception of land, everything I listed there is a consumer good.
This is a completely unreasonable and arbitrary distinction. Consumer goods aren't so named because they're consumed, as in used up. They're so named because they're end products that are sold to consumers, which in economic terms just means someone who's using products and services provided by producers.Plus i'm also talking about when a good begins consumption not when it is purchased. Open a bottle of good wine and it's value goes through the floor. Start a new car it's value goes through the floor.

You're just using words incorrectly, at this point.
As someone living in California, I'm happy to see this finally pass. Unfortunately we will see local businesses take advantage of the hike's and increase the price of their products at a higher rate than the wage hike's will cost them. Everyone wants their piece of the pie.
