Actually, lots of it doesn’t come back, the US has a huge Trade Balance Deficit.
And we’re not talking about anything other than your claim that buying new video game consoles is actually good for fighting the recession and the pandemic.

Right and what was already addressed is that for your first point, those things have to be done for pretty much all products. So if it’s going to happen no matter the product, why not privilege those that provide a stronger injection to the US economy.
No shit the money doesn’t stay in one place forever, but you’re…

The UK imports more goods from Germany at a significant amount. If you wanted to stimulate the US domestic economy, why would you opt to send that money to the UK on the hopes that some of it will come back to the US domestic economy when you could just inject directly into the US domestic economy? And even if it was…

You’re talking about the context of stimulating the domestic economy. You can’t stimulate the domestic economy if that money is leaving the domestic economy. You can stimulate a foreign economy with that money, but you weren’t claiming that we should buy video game consoles because it would be good for China.

Why would money leaving the domestic economy be better during a recession if it ends up in England instead of Mexico?

The context that I brought it up being that if money leaves the domestic economy it’s a leakage?

What have you given a standard textbook example of?
And I’ve asked you several times to just do yourself a quick google search or to put in to wiki so you would find something like this;

So if you’ve never said how it’s wrong, you’ve got no basis to demand such a specific piece of evidence.

Do you know what a leakage is?

You don’t even have a counter-theory for why the circular flow of income is wrong. There’s nothing further to prove here.

Why would I need to do that? You either know what a leakage is or you don’t, and changing the context to two developed nations doesn’t change what a leakage is. A leakage is money exiting the domestic economy. It doesn’t matter what the economic status of the economy it ends up in,is.

Except they’re not good for stimulating the economy and you know this now. 

Wow, even by some kind of semantics attempt that’s just poor. You had to cut out the part where I explained leakages’ role in the circular flow to make it look like I’m saying something different. And even if you were confused, even if you actually thought I was using them interchangeably, even if you couldn’t tell…

A person doesn’t have to be psychic to read context. No, my criticism of your claim that buying video games during a recession is good for the economy is that the PS5 is far more of a leakage and there’s much better options for stimulating the economy that don’t involve such extravagance (this holds true for the XBox…

They’re not used interchangeably, leakage is part of the circular flow, not a synonym for it. Seriously, if you had just put it into wikipedia you could have saved yourself a lot of trouble.

Also, even though this Microsoft thing is a hail mary pass because you were not thinking about only buying an X Box *at all* when you made the comment about how buying a video game system is good for the economy, and I didn’t mention X Box in my first of 2 criticisms (the second one you’ve conveniently ignored),…

If you don’t know anything about the circular flow of income you could just do a quick search, rather than asking me to do it for you.

He says, having scrolled through an 80-comment comments section to make that post.

lol, a discussion can be a consumer review. It’s so obvious that you said something you didn’t understand and now realising you’re wrong, are desperately trying to find any kind of technicality so you can declare a victory on instead of going “sorry, I don’t know much about economics but that’s interesting to know”…

I think that if I was touting a way to improve the economy, I wouldn’t tout a method that involved massive leakages from the economy, especially when it’s a luxury good and there are many ways for that money to be spent that would lead to significantly less, or no leakages from the economy.
