Newflash for you Randroids: I bash the elite: politicians, CEOs, plutocrats. I don't bash "America."

Farmer for whatever reason decides to not pay wages that people want (instead, magnaminously picking an arbitrarily higher wage). Farmer has higher costs. Farmer has to raise prices. Farmer's higher prices can't compete. Farmer doesn't sell product. Farmer goes out of business. Now there are no jobs. a,b,c,d....
Please please tell me you are not THAT stupid!
Let's take this apart: a--Farmer for whatever reason decides to not pay wages that people want (instead, magnaminously picking an arbitrarily higher wage).
What fucking color is the sky in your neoliberal, libertarian, AynRand-masturbatory fantasy world? In REAL LIFE, it would go down like this: the pickers say FUCK YOU, Old MacDonald, give me a raise or we walk. b--And so the farmer pays this. Farmer has higher costs.
Correct!
c--Farmer has to raise prices.
Correct, OR he can eat the wage increase by paying his investors/shareholders less money, because as we all know, the VAST majority of produce comes from corporate agriculture. Either that, or the farmer is a millionaire (quite common), and so he will buy a new car next year instead of this year.
d-Farmer's higher prices can't compete.
WRONG! The pickers for the OTHER farmer/mega-corp-agro ALSO wanted a raise. And if they did not, then they will quit their current jobs, and go work for the higher wage. ALL The other farmers will have to raise their wages and price,too. It's called a race to the top, bright eyes. And this time, instead of putting the price pressure on the earners to eat a wage decrease, the price pressure is put on the owners to eat the wage increase.
e--Farmer doesn't sell product. Farmer goes out of business. Now there are no jobs.
BULLSHIT. As long as people need to eat, there will be a demand for food. And where there is a demand, there will be a supply. See, when you read the wall st journal, Ayn Rand, listen to Limbaugh, that turns your brain to mush, as any reasonably intelligent onlooker can see. Now wipe your blood off of your nose, and go do some real reading.
The savemuniwireless mailing list kept us all informed of what politicians to email at what times.
I emailed those politicians told them I was going to work for/donate to their opponents when they came up for reelection, if they voted for HB 789.
Now we need to target Phil King, of Weatherford. He is the slimy corporate whore who sponsored hb 789.
We should probably raise money to run ads informing his district constitutents about how he sold out to SBC, et al as a corporate whore.
Here is the url to the Weatherford Democrat, the newspaper for the biggest city in his district.
I say we make an example of this whore Phil King by raising money over the Net to defeat him when he runs for reelection/office again. He will serve as an example for the other corporate whores. With the internet we can focus all our whore-hating dollars on some whore like King.
This guy is just a texas state govt representative. It is not all that big an office. We do not need to raise all that much money or have all that huge an effort in order to make an example of him by kicking him out of office.
After all, how much money could it take to run ads or classified announcemments in a small paper like the Weatherford Democrat?

yeah, I actually know all about it. I've actually BEEN to Japan. See, I am an educated person, as opposed to all these blockheads who read Ayn Rand and the Wall St Journal, and thus believe they have received access to the Hidden Wisdom of the Ages.....
cuz this sounds like more vaporware, considering the American sociopolitical landscape
Corporations go for the low-hanging fruit. Therefore, I doubt we will see any real funding for really useful robots so long as 3rd world "neoslaves"...oops! I mean "illegal aliens"....oops! I mean "undocumented workers" are allowed to move to the USA as cheap and desperate scab labor to fatten the wallets of investors and business owners and management.
Look at the young male goldenchested Libertarian proudly proclaim his political-tribal membership! Isn't he cute!? He is announcing to all the world that he wants to associate himself with neoliberal economics. They actually have the very propaganda, dontcha know....
Witnessing the political-tribal call of the young male goldenchested Libertarian is a prized event for anthropologists....
Now, don't worry my neoliberal (oops! I mean "libertarian"....) "free traitor" friends--I am sure they will have a built-in loophole for cheap-labor illegal aliens (oops! I mean "undocumented workers....). After all, we wouldn't want our investor overlords to get less profit than they would otherwise have if the labor supply were not flooded with cheap labor, thus bringing down wages....
What he is talking about it NOT socialism. And what YOU think is socialism is NOT socialism. You think russia/china == socialism. NO, they were and are not. Never were. Socialism is something that has not yet been implemented. Just like the flying car has not yet been implemented. And nanomachines. etc. Governments are engineered devices. Engineering takes work. Also, to build any machine requires an environment that allows one to build.
Anyway....
What he is talking about is just freedom. Freedom to work and live without domineering forces. I was hoping that some of you free market slashdotters would start to see the light because of the rather obvious case that sits right in front of us all--the monopoly power of cablecos and telcos. Obviously, they are inhibiting the advance of technology through their dominant power.
All he is talking about is engineering. If you want what wall st wants, what the GOP/Dems want, then go to the Serengeti in Africa. You will find it there. All that is, is nature. But raw nature never built the technical marvels we have now. Engineering built that.
All he is talking about is building a better place to live. You wouldn't build a chainsaw without an overspeed protector, would you?
These agents and their bosses should be tried in a court of law for treason, and if convicted, sentenced to the harshest punishment allowed by law.
THis action is nothing more than fascism, i.e., the corporate takeover of government. The corporations are our country's greatest enemy, and this action is nothing more than treason.
Umm, we OWN this country. It's OURS. Whatever happens in it, it happens because WE made it that way. The way I see it, if America can provide a cushy living for everyone, but makes NO ONE rich, that is fine with ME.
But the rich people and corporations have filled your head so full of elite-centered propaganda, you are like some kind of unthinking animal....
can you IMAGINE this happening in modern America?

The Outer Limits did a good story once about the more likely form of teleportation.
why is it worth mentioning that some cheesy tv series explored this topic?
This topic of self-copying should certainly be worth considering for every person, seeing as how we are all marching toward certain personal oblivion. But trust me, whatever the Outer Limits scripts have to say about this is hugely irrelevant.
However, on a much more relevant note, it appears that I, Cryofan, am the only poster on this thread who actually has a chance of ever uploading my brain. You see, I have a contract with Alcor to have my brain vitrified in liquid nitrogen until I am able to be revived. I hope to awaken in a future where uploading is available as an option for superlong life and space travel....
Dig this: a rumor is going around that there are large organizations working together that are trying to persuade (I say brainwash!) human beings to purchase consumer goods. These organizations often meet on a daily basis on or near Madison Avenue in New York City. This nefarious conspiracy must be put to an end./sarcasm
Ok, look, moron: there ARE PR flacks working for the MPAA that have gotten "news stories" in the newspapers and TV that are favorable to the movie industry. Why not the internet? Is there some special "force" that prevents those same PR flacks from posting here on Slashdot?
Furthermore, what do you want to bet that Slashdot was even paid to post one or more "Revenge of the Sith" stories? Maybe even THIS even slashdot story was bought and paid for? You do know that almost all the ads that are run on slashdot are paid for by corporations? Why not stories?
You don't think that these HUGE torrent of Star Wars "Revenge of the Sith" frenzy all over the media is not bought and paid for by the movie studio and distributors for REvenge of the Sith? All these "news stories" in papers and "features" on TV shows" most of the are actually ADVERTISEMENTS! And it is quite possible that this very story on/. is an ad.
Oh, one more thing: there is no Santa Claus or tooth fairy. Sorry to break it to you like this....
I agree that we need to starve the federal govt. In fact, small fed govt is what the ORIGINAL leftists in colonial America wanted. The Neoliberal corporatocracy that is America can only survive with a strong federal govt. That is the why the evil Founding Fathers set it up. Unfortunately, they did their work well, making it very hard for the people to enforce their will and make drastic changes. What we need is a constitution that models governmental structure such as we see in the social democracies of NW Europe. But how do you get there from here?
So the only alternative is to take power back from the DC and give it to the states. There might be an opportunity to use all the old pseudolibertarian propaganda that has been pumped out by the Right. It has convinced numerous Americans that States' Rights are what "conservative" Americans should want.
Well, states rights is the only way we are likely to get something like Denmark. Either that, or a massive economic collapse....
Do you see now that by paying money to go see their movies, you just make them more powerful? The more money you give them, the more money they will have to control our government and thus own your ass....
They have corporate "malefactors of great wealth", (to quote Teddy Roosevelt), and as such, they should be indicted for treason for their manipulation of our government. Once convicted, they should be sentenced as harshly as possible, i.e., strapped to Old Sparky. Any volunteers to pull the switch?
Yep, it's like the olden days, now that they have essentially busted the unions. We are headed back to the bad old days of time study, 16 hr days, 6 day weeks, etc.
Pretty soon if you get a bad mark on your time study, you will be up for 39 lashes.
Over in Europe, meanwhile, they work 20% less year than we do.
Obviously, you took my comment out of the context of the thread, you slimy lickspittle. Anyone with an open mind and a 80+ IQ can see that I advocate trying these traitors in a court of law. That is the whole point of it.
Why not just mix and match all my words in all my posts till you get what you want?
You need to understand something. THe United States of America kills people every day. Not just in war, although we have killed tens of thousands of innocents lately in Iraq. But also our policies kill people. Like for example, our lack of a national healthcare system kills 18000 Americans every year because they lack basic healthcare. THat is why Americans have shorter life expectancies that people in NW Europe or Canada or AUstralia, where they have universal healthcare. Our politicians would rather that the healthcare industry have high profits, than we Americans live longer. I consider this a form of murder. That is MY opinion.
And we kill people in the electric chair after convicting them in our courts. Sometimes we do this because we claim they have killed other people (although sometimes we are wrong about that).
Also we execute people for passing certain information to certain other people (See Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, for example).
So, I am suggesting that we subject some of our leaders (political and corporate) to the actions of our court systems. There is nothing illegal about saying that we should this. I have the legal right to call for CEOs and politicians to be tried for treason in a court of law, and if convicted, sentenced with the ultimate punishment, as others have been sentenced before in our courts of law.
THis is just politics. That's all. That red-state blue state crap you see on the boob tube is not really politics--that is something else....
I wrote: All the CEOs who fund the BSA should be tried for treason, and if convicted, placed in the electric chair, and electrocuted to death. And do the same for their lapdog politicians who give them this power.
