@penerico23 Counter reasoning: Frederic Bastiat's broken Window fallacy. (Google it.)

After it's all said and done, Gary Oldman is still absent one glass.

The robots wasted electricity and time cleaning it. They could've been cleaning something else.

broken window fallacy

@J4m3z1 I think the bakery's broken window vid would have been better 'suited' (haha intended pun) if it had said he would have used a portion of the funds he spent on the window to purchase a larger mixer to allow him to produce more goods. Then the illustration would make a bit more sense and be linked directly to the cost of fixing the window vs the cost of expanding a business.

Why is Gary Oldman channeling Tootsie.

[bittersweet302]

ok you guys argue about broken windows, i'll sit here and try to figure out WHY THE FUCK he tried swallowing a cherry.

Well Said Commissioner Gordon.

I was wondering where the GOP got their economic theory...

Amazing voice. I did not know he was British because his American accent is so good.

[FenixLites]

his logic only holds true in a monetary system, wasted resources are meaningless if you made a profit.

Yeah I think I agree. I'm just thinking about the reasoning behind the "Broken Window Fallacy". A video I watched on youtube here said "the baker could have spent his money on a new suit instead of a new window".

But why would a baker want to buy a suit? Isn't there some kind of (mild) chaos and disorder occuring which causes the baker to want something that he doesn't yet have but doesn't exactly *need* to survive, i.e. a suit. Can desire still exist in a perfect world?

@J4m3z1 A theoretical question? Alright, I'll bite... The world where the skyscraper has evolved from the failures of previous building designs is, in my opinion, preferable. My reasoning for this opinion is that stagnation is dull...we, as beings, thrive off change. Everything we have today, all the technology and creature comforts, stem from mankind's struggle to exceed the dangers of our existence. Replace your shack with a cave...pretty boring aye?

@XxxTenebraexxX

Clearly, I'm not asking you if the first ever building was destroyed...

I was asking you about what you think is preferable and why. Either, a world where the wooden shack seems to make do, or a world where the skyscraper has evolved from the failures of previous building designs.
