    Could it be that they ended up shitholes because their resources were extracted with all benefits going to those who stole the land and resources, leaving the natural population impoverished financially and intellectually? They're coming back and feel that they aren't shitholes but it does take a while to dig out when you have been oppressed and impoverished for hundreds of years. Fuck all the European vermin that went and destroyed literally every society and land that they came upon.

    You do realize that Europeans came and extracted the wealth of these nations while destroying their society and way of life? The only injustice is that these extractors weren't impaled and burned on a pyre as they arrived. I cannot believe that in this day-and-age anyone with two or more working brain cells can even jokingly put forth that the Europeans got a raw deal, FFS!

    I don't know about other countries' particular configurations, I know that in Germany those boards are in-place as per their Constitution. A Constitution that was put in place and dictated primarily by American and Russian generals after defeating the Germans in WW2. I don't recall if these boards are made up of Union members, I know that at a bank, the gardener can be part of the board. Advisory boards are not ignored if that is what you are implying by saying I am being a bit generous. What I get from it all is that the boards give their corporations what American corporations lack: a soul. Thus their corporations are not a psychopathic beings hell-bent on maximizing profits whatever the cost.

    I get the feeling that somewhere in the madness of your post, there is something coherent. Could you re-post with some examples of what you are talking about, right now it's too abstract to comprehend. If you respond by insulting my intelligence, you won't make any progress, as I'm just asking for clarification.

    Also, who is co-opting Marxist sloganeering and what institutions are on the side of the people to help oppose these AstroTurfers?

    They protect their industries by keeping them in-country. This is done because all corporations have an advisory board made up of rank-and-file employees, who clearly have a vested interest in the company remaining and zero in it leaving. I wasn't trying to imply they had sanctions on China, sorry if it read that way.

    I absolutely loathe drumPft, everything about him, from his absurd "hairstyle" to his voice, diction, "policies", etc.

    However, I favor sanctions. We should sanction smartly though to protect our high tech manufacturing industries. So we could be a powerhouse like Germany, which protects its industries. China protects its acquisition of technology, why shouldn't we also work to help our industries?

    This "Tech Group" sounds like they favor inaction and ineffective whining because, apparently, they have more to gain by importing Chinese goods than by helping strengthen the American middle class. Damned blood-sucking corporatist vampires.

    To be fair, your poor spelling also contributed to my decision to heavily discount you ignorant warning. As a white male you've very likely never experienced USian prison hospitality so your knowledge is lacking in many areas. You also seem to lack the ability to mount a coherent argument so it is very likely that you are another sad right wing useful idiot.

    Strip joints/booths are not porn. They are in-person entertainment, they happen in meat-space.

    The other forms of porn were much slower speed and thus less damaging. Very much not the same.

    Our monkey brains are hardwired to seek sex. The hijacking of these circuits with porn is a significant problem as it causes shrinkage of the affected area due to the overstimulation.

  17. Interestingly, the people in the wide open areas of CA (the strawberry areas in other words) are largely enthusiastically right-wing and they are the ones most interested in protecting the ability to bring in low-pay workers from other countries. I bet all the folks in the middle of the country (red mostly) would not appreciate paying for berries that cost $30/hr to pick. Those strawberries would probably double in price.

    Don't blame the left, it is mostly the right that gets the direct benefit of the cheap labor.

    Due to your poor grammar and the fact that thousands South Americans are streaming through the porous Mexican borders (as well as traversing the whole country), I am going to completely disregard your guarantee. Just like I would any statement made by the mendacious occupier of the WH.

  19. I didn't so I am ok with them not following the laws either. I say we do another few rounds of amnesty. The european immigrants got them and we stole the land from the natives (which Mexicans technically are) so lets do more amnesty, just to make things kind of even.
