Capitalists want a workforce that is desperate and does not have basic needs met. So the argument is that if people aren’t desperate enough they won’t work? Think about medical care. If you owned a factory wouldn’t you want workers to show up, healthy and fed and ready to work? Sure they do, but they would rather have desperate people who have no choice but to work for pennies, who can’t afford to take time off to vote or strike.

For public services and non profit, here you say you think wages are the only component included: “But in many cases those services represent the value. So what winds up being included is just the wage.” When you say “just the wage” it means you don’t think other costs are included (materials, overhead).

I speculated that the total cost must be used. Then you say the truth is exactly like you say but the quote you provide says this “the value of government output is deemed to be exactly equal to the total cost of the wages paid to public servants plus the cost of intermediate inputs.”

If you look up the definition of intermediate inputs you’ll see it includes other services, goods, and energy. So in the case of nursing they include medical supplies, electricity, and office costs like payroll services. It doesn’t seem like that’s what you said in your first post.

Regarding dividends, they are a distribution of profit. They are not a cost. Shareholders own a portion of the company. In a privately owned company the owner may transfer money from the company account to his personal account. This is not a cost for the business. In the same way, payments of dividends is a distribution of profit to shareholders.

In the case of a public utility or non profit organization that does not generate any profit, the value of a service is probably measured using its cost. Even though wages may account for the majority of the cost there are always material costs and overhead. I’m only referring to your example where you say the value of a service only includes wages.

You mention dividends and say they are not retained by the company. They are profit that is distributed to shareholders. What a company does with its profit is irrelevant to the discussion.

Price - Cost = Profit

My statement in the original post could only be true if all costs are derived from labor. I just spent a few minutes reading this reddit post on Marx’s economic theory https://www.reddit.com/r/askphilosophy/s/pKHF2zltlj

He was a trump and netanyahu supporter. It’s fair to point out he was a shitty person when people get excited about how badass he was.

They had already killed two people the US wanted to negotiate with

From NYT: "…Israel prioritized targeting the leadership in the early phase of the war, intent on killing as many high-ranking officials as it could.

That included killing potentially more pragmatic leaders that the Trump administration had hoped to negotiate with, such as Ali Larijani, Iran’s top national security official, and Kamal Kharazi, a former Iranian foreign minister. Both men were involved in the negotiations with the United States when they were killed in Israeli airstrikes."

This is Madison Reyes who plays for Indiana. In 2019 she was picked up as a point guard due to her natural pointing ability and her sensitive nose. Madison has a habit of pointing out players who wear excessive perfume and she says it interferes with her ability to play.

I didn’t dismiss the validity of the article. I was actually asking people if they’d seen changes at CNN yet. I think it’s hard to read tone through text. I can see how you might think I was asking people if they “think they are still a trusted news source” rhetorically but I was actually seeking information. Maybe comments isn’t perfect place for discussion of the news outlet

I’m expecting that CNN is going through or will go through an overhaul that shifts their editorial stance to the right similar to what happened at CBS. Right after the acquisition CBS cancelled their segment on El Salvador’s CECOT prison and then fired the correspondent responsible for it. Bari Weiss has no broadcast journalism experience and is firing correspondents including Scott Pelley and dozens of others. They shuttered their radio division. The Ellisons are not just involved in business and media. They are supplying Israel with computer systems that are being used against Gaza and Lebanon- they are using an AI targeting system to kill people and destroy vital infrastructure like hospitals and schools.

All of the playbooks to take over and control a society involve controlling the media. This isn’t a trivial matter and it’s happening. So yeah I asked if people see any changes happening at CNN yet.

“During her active career, Savannah traveled 450,000 nautical miles (830,000 km), visiting 45 foreign and 32 domestic ports”

cool

CNN was purchased by the Ellison family (along with CBS), you think they are still a trusted news source?

The existence of a scar would be telling and they already know who did the biting so it’s not a matter of bite matching.
