What Fruits Will Reduced R&D Bear For The U.S.?
lucabrasi999 writes "Here's an interesting
commentary from Mike Tarsala at CBS.Marketwatch.com regarding R&D spending by U.S. companies as it compares to overseas firms. It compares today's US tech firms to the Big Three Automakers of the 70's, while saying the overseas tech firms are similar to the Toyotas and Hondas of the 70's. In other words, US Tech firms are about to be taught a lesson in global capitalism. I think Mike is 100% correct. What do you think?"
I've read so many economic fallacies that many /.'ers take as fact. "Government can offer stimulus to the economy" is one (fact: government only takes, rarely provides). "U.S. Businesses" are another -- many U.S. corporations are owned by off shore investors. How does any of this actually affect ME?
I'm a big fan of The Mises Institute which offers articles about the Austrian School of Economic Theory -- categorically disproving many of the myths about the economy today.
Mike Tarsala could learn a lot from these guys...
I have a honda now, but my last car was an 87 mustang with over 200k miles. at the end it was still running but i only got rid of it because at that age the weirdest shit starts to go... :D
I got me where i wanted to go and never left me stranded. came pretty close a couple times nothing like pop starting your car by rolling it backwards on the interstate service road
Point is if you take care of them,*any* car will usually last but it depends on the car. Also, american car parts are usually cheaper.
Saying the japanese do it better is just a faulty argument.
why run from Vincenzo?
Oh, great. You're telling me that this war against Iraq _isn't_ about oil?
