I am against every form of government meddling in any form of business and individual lives of people. So I am partially for this deal, I am against the parts of it that strengthen 'intellectual property rights' nonsense. I am for removing government regulations from everything, so I am for this deal whenever any form of government power is reduced.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! So the excuse to steal the 3000 from the driver is to make sure that they PAY the 3000. You don't find it as funny (and sad, that this is actually an acceptable practice by the idiots who vote for politicians) as I do?
Trump will not solve the problem but not for a second for the reasons that you believe. The problem with Trump is that he promises easy solutions to everybody and that is pie in the sky.
However there is nothing 'unregulated' about accumulation of wealth and power, unless you consider all the government intervention into the free market economy being 'unregulated'.
The only sane economy is economy based on actual free market capitalism, anarcho capitalism, unregulated (as in no government intervention) free market. We do not have that, we have gigantic, out of control governments, deciding price of everything, taxing every form of income and wealth, licensing every form of business activity, preventing savings from being accrued with extremely high inflation generated by government and pseudo-government structures.
I see both, Trump and Sanders being potential HITLER (here we go) characters. Except that I don't think Trump actually believes the crap that he is espousing, which makes Sanders much more dangerous. Collectivism (socialism, communism, Stalinism, Leninism, Marxism, Nazism) murdered hundreds of millions of free individuals, destroyed countless amounts of wealth. How many more hundreds of millions, how much more of the economic potential has to be destroyed?
AFAIC it is government that is the criminal organization. Government uses guns to extort money from individuals and businesses and it is 'legal' because it is 'the law'. Licensing, taxing, none of it is voluntary, all of it is coerced under the barrel of a government's gun. Uber is breaking that 'law', sure, but it is the law and the government mafia that is criminal.
I prefer freedom to anything else. Once you are a target for any kind of Danegeld it does not stop. The slogan "tax the rich" never stops, it doesn't matter what the actual taxation levels are (and the rich are paying disproportionately high taxes), the mob always wants to tax more. It's a never ending cycle, the only way to win is not to play. The rest of society doesn't matter, the only question is can you protect yourself or not and today it is possible to protect yourself much more than at any previous time in history.
I think the morality of anybody making as much money as they possibly can in a free market capitalist system is superior to any other morality, especially to the morality of collectivists, the mob who want to steal based on the fact that they see others with more money them themselves.
The reality is that the lower income people suffer more when they are voting in politicians on the promise of this theft, because in the long term it leads to capital flight. The obvious lack of morality of the 51% is what is hurting the 51%.
The morality of the mob is to murder and steal, colour me unimpressed.
Actually 0% interest rates make investment capital prohibitively expensive. Almost nobody has any real savings and so borrowing savings at a normal interest rate is impossible. What the Keynesian policy of 0% interest rate is doing, it is killing off real investment capital and only making it possible to gamble with the newly minted (or electronically created) fiat.
No business is expanding in the USA or most of Europe for that matter because it can borrow cheaply. It cannot borrow at all. The only people who have access to the newly minted fiat are entities like governments, borrowing more for social and military spending and gamblers. Gamblers can borrow (banks, fubds) to operate in highly risky environment because the government also insures their losses for them.
Basically there is no normal productive economy, which is why people are losing hobs to automation, outsourcing, plain bankruptcies etc.
The solution is to remove government control over money, interest rates, business, labour. This will happen organically as the economy collapses if it is not allowed to happen in our own terms and volition. I do not expect people to allow it to happen by them understanding the problem and applying the correct solution, so it will happen by itself, on its own, and it will be much worse that way.
I see, so instead of eliminating laws, taxes, fiat printing operations ran by central banks to increase new business formation by promoting higher savings rate in meaningful money you propose yet another level of oppression based system.
You know what is funny? The idea by the collectivist democrats (I am talking of people supporting democratic elections who also hold your ideas on the economy) thatyou can have so called 'progressive' income and wealth taxing system and yet you can have a 'one man one vote' voting system.
If you believe it you are naive. In a system where majority oppresses minority economically, (the lower income people mob together to impose higher taxes on the higher income people by using a voting process rigged by design to oppress minority by majority), the people who have the most to lose ( the 1%) will ensure that their position in the election process is at least equal to the overall tax percentage of the total that they are burdened with.
Graduated taxing leads to graduated voting. Your vote means very little in the system where you are in theajority positioned to steal from a minority.
The morality of: 99% votes to take the most from 1% is obvious for what it is - highway robbery. Under such circumstances any methods of fighting against this oppression are justified.
What should we do with the unwashed masses? Remove the chains of the government from their economic plight. Let people build new companies, let existing companies not be punished by government regulations by hiring more people.
The mob kills its own economy with the mob tactics, the mob cannot be allocated the same voting rights as those, who actually employ the vast majority of the mob.
I want to find out what genes are responsible for nearsighted stupidity and infinite greed of those, who are moralizing others about compassion while voting for politicians who promise to steal from the fee that have more and to give subsidies to those, who are voting for it?
I want to know what makes somebody so blind to their own violent and greedy while cowardice nature that they are inclined to steal and rob by using the force of the collective and calling the resulting oppression and theft 'compassion'?
The point of this is not to help to find anybody under debris, the point is to build a spy tool for Putin and his cohorts to seed these things around the world, everywhere where ears and eyes could provide information useful to remain in power and steal more, so this contraption will look like a cockroach or some other insect or animal or object that can move around and spy while not being easily detectable.
Actually I would check all of the competitors. This could be the work of a rogue engineer (or manager or tester) who was paid a ton to do this to hurt VW.
It's all good, except for example I don't give a flying fuck who signed what, I didn't sign it and I am certain people who may be able to mine on the moon eventually would see it the same way (correctly). Fuck those who signed it on behalf of everybody else, nobody should care about it.
Why not pretend they cracked it? For an oppressive government (read for any government) FUD is easily as important as reality, so why not pretend they cracked the system?
As to the company in question, they could easily set up fake 'tests' to show that they have some positive result, that wouldn't be that difficult. Putin is losing his iron fisted grip on his dick.
But the reason why the manufacturing was lost in the first place is the government manipulating the money supply, interest rates, business and labour and creating a giant welfare/military state.
A month ago or so, China decoupled from the US dollar, the idiots see it as something China is doing to 'devalue' its currency. The reality is that once the dollar bubble pops, the Chinese will not be forced to maintain the artificial peg an Yuan will skyrocket compared to the USD.
This was a long road, the Chinese gained when the Americans defaulted on the gold dollar back in 1971. Chinese gained when the Americans were spending more and more on unsustainable military and welfare state. Chinese put up with USA was maintaining its artificial 0% interest peg for a while, but Chinese don't want to put up with this any longer, they want an actually strong currency, currency that is not forced to inflate every time the Fed starts yet another round of QE (and QE4 is coming).
The value of money and the economy and manufacturing and education and standard of living are very much linked into one system and they cannot be artificially manipulated forever.
Great kid, he is just following the spirit and the letter of current state of USA economy - repackaging things and calling it 'manufacturing'. Ironically in this case the kid repackaged a piece of old American technology that was likely completely built in the USA.
I want INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM to be legal, which means every single substance under the Sun is something that every individual has the right to produce / possess without government oppressing them.
Bitcoin is a speculation vehicle, nothing else, but given the state of American economy, total lack of production and real economic growth, the fact that this 'economy' is only held together by the strings of 0% interest rates the Fed's Yellen thinks she can keep up forever... I guess it makes sense that some officials in the government think that electronic currencies not backed by anything actual in real life are a 'commodity'. Why not...
So as I predicted manytimes, USA economycannotsurvive at interest rates even as high as 0.25% (even though the current range that the Fed is maintaining is 0-0.25, they are normally around 0.13 or so).
Every American is already getting a ton of 'free money' from the actual productive societies around the world that are giving the USA the stuff they make for the fake money USA prints.
You think more of that will help the USA economy? Wrong! That's what destroyed the USA economy in the first place - defaulting on the gold dollar in 1971 and creating giant inflation since then, growing all types of government spending based on this inflation and new debt and new taxes.
The correct solution to the problem of people not being employed is not to punish those who are still providing employment opportunities and cheap products that people need but to allow people to save money again and to start their own new businesses and this requires removal of all government intrusion into business, labour, economy and money in general.
Your idea is the exact opposite of what is needed and the reason you believe in it is because you genuinely do not understand the actual underlying problem, so it seems to you that it makes sense that those, who are still productive should be subsidising those who are not, but that's the road that crushed so many economies and societies around the world and throughout the history that it is a little discouraging just how ignorant people are of all of the preceding teachable moments even today.
People who are benefiting from increased productivity are people who are investing their savings to be more productive, those are people with savings that let them automate the jobs away. You are forgetting something: businesses exist to make money for the owners of the business, not to employ anybody, not to do anything else but to provide profits for owners.
Why do people think are entitled to other people's money?
- because they prefer to live by stealing rather than by adapting to the changing environment and doing something of value to somebody, anybody who would pay for their work.
Collectivism is the refuge of those, who do not see how they could be of any material use to other people. The people who do not provide any material use to others are faced with the reality, which is: they are worthless to others, so they have to collectivise to force others to fee them.
The correct response to this is to fight against all forms of collectivism and never give up an inch.

All of the laptops mentioned here are worthless with their ridiculous 1920x1080 screens!
Lenovo Wxxx with at the very minimum 1920x1200 and 32GB RAM.

I say if you lose your manufacturing you lose your education and the economy.
But the reason why the manufacturing was lost in the first place is the government manipulating the money supply, interest rates, business and labour and creating a giant welfare/military state.
China manufactures, thus is has the real economy. USA prints money, borrows, taxes and has no real economy.

What you want is more owners, not less, what you need for that is more savings, not less, what you need for that is sound money and a real productive economy. USA is not a real productive economy and the fact that the Fed didn't even move their goalpost from 0-0.25% interest rate range to 0.25-0.25 proves it very well.
The next thing that will come from Yellen will be QE4, not a rate hike. Rate hike was never going to materialise with this collectivist system.
