The other poster. On one hand you're right we don't need more politicians telling big business what to do. If they own it they need to protect & defend it. But, that should be a national imperative and corporate America needsto get it in gear to protect themselves.
On the other hand if you ask me whom I'm more concerned about 300M US citizens vs 1B Chinese. That answer is easy. I worry about the prospects for prosperity of our nation, the US. As, you should too. That is if you are an American citizen.
You don't have to pick me up & drop me off in China. I been around the globe a few times & have lived in a developing nation before. I get the starvation thing & its horrible to bear witness to.
but, if that is your argument for making light of such developments. Let's be clear on something, the business they gain (whether by legitimate or illegitimate means) will be squarely at the expense of our nation's business sectors which will directly translate into a loss of quality of life for your fellow neighbors & citizens. Yes, corporate America as been piggy in years past. But, it's the only one we have, like it or not & as we all know gov't doesn't supply jobs in the volume to truly lift up an economy. Not to mention the future prospects & opportunities for our nation's youth & future generations. If you don't care for yourself at least care for our country's future. American industry is what gave us the
conveniences & lifestyle we enjoy today & it's currently being fleeced by illegal means. I play for the US team. What Team are you on?
team humanity, there aren't many of us in existence, one here, one there, spread all over the globe
I watched a guy programming a 3D printer just yesterday. It was a toyish hobby device and he was just making square plastic blocks but it gave me insight. That technology will bring a lot of manufacturing back to the US. Technology advances very rapidly nowadays, in a few years we might not be outsourcing to Chindia at all... I read Engineering periodicals and saw articles about 3D printers used for making prototypes maybe fifteen years ago, now they can print a concrete house and short production runs of about anything you can think of.
The US had a very great run and wound up being the greatest economy ever even envisioned. The Public Sector jumped on the back of that economy and rode it into the ground. The wealthy and corporations have ALWAYS had the best politicians that money can buy over most of the course of the US's lifespan to date, that's not going to change. What has changed is that Marxists are in power and they mean business. Obama's church is Marxist [Liberation Theology], his friends and mentors were Marxists, he's talking about doing to all companies what he did to GM.. we're headed down the same path that destroyed Russia [ok, some peasants learned to read but otherwise, forgetaboutit] and makes Venezuela what it is today...
I play for that team too. But, not at the expense of those around me.
Charity begins at home.
my home hasn't needed any charity for quite some time, and if it does they know who they can come to, but I will agree with you, the days of easy exploitation with the governments support are over, at least for team USA. (now that everybody else is doing it) If we're not careful, we'll have to start working for a living again.

i totally agree.. what Obama did when he Gutted GM and gave it to the workers union is exactly what i think his views are and his willingness is more then obviously there... this is a direct attach against the free market system..
Those things are great. Work off of cartesian coordinates. I met someone the other night whom built one from scratch. He told me it was a retooling of his skill set as the industry he was in (color picture developing) is now history b/c of digital. I hope that industry takes off.
