    Could you site the source of this "theory", please.

    Consider, macro hording of money supply leads to a decrease in money supply for the business-consumer cycle. As less money is available, less items are purchased. As less items are purchased, less employees are required.

    I believe the "Angry White People Crowd" are at the "tea party" meeting down the street. Those people seem obsessed with a value system that seems to contradict itself after every sentence. But one thing is definite with the tea party, and that is death to everyone. I have seen to much death to agree with the tea party. And the logistics of living to be over 100, and maintain our population growth, is to go to a space faring culture.

    Well, lets just backup here a bit. If my neighbor discovers that part of my fence is broken, and walks onto my property to tell me so:
    1. Is the neighbor guilty of Trespassing?
    2. Is the neighbor guilty of causing the fence to be broken?
    3. Is the neighbor guilty of being the cause of the broken fence?
    4. Is the neighbor guilty of Negligence because the fence is broken?
    5. Is the neighbor guilty of Indirect Negligence because the fence is broken?
    6. Is the neighbor guilty of not maintaining the fence?
    7. Is the neighbor guilty of any damage because the fence is broken?

    I know, responding to an A/C is pointless, but a question arises.

    What if the decision maker is female? Then it would be vanity. I have found that suggesting someones view is from about half way inside their handlers colon to be informative, and non sexist.

  12. Re:Blame (insert blank here) on US Blocks Huawei From Building LTE Network · · Score: 1

    Your argument has a double edge to it. In order to undercut your competitor you buy cheaper. If the government "adjusts" Trade Balances to shift in one direction or another, that affects the cost of the product. As a purchasing community, the U.S. is tapped. It is getting to the point that business models that rely on outside usage of goods and services are beginning to optimize to the point of extinction. A review of the H.P. business model clearly shows that when a corporation optimizes profit and ignores the 60 month and 120 month business plan, that business model pays a heavy price. What I'm not convinced about is when the government ignores the phrase, "Default/Foreclosure/Auction." Businesses go out of business, that is not necessarily the fault of the people. And the short sightedness of business is definitely not the fault of the people.

  15. Re:Emergency Response on US Blocks Huawei From Building LTE Network · · Score: 2

    It would have been more diplomatic for the U.S. to have stated that Huawei was denied because of its "Convection" to a prior "cost cutting" business model. Also, I believe that there is a requirement for products that are used for Emergency or Military Communications to be manufactured in the U.S.. Not all things, but definitely Communication Package Systems. In that case, anyone outside the U.S. gets a "red flag" regardless of nationality. From a global point of view, Huawei can peddle its comm. gear anywhere on the planet. And from a U.S. perspective, U.S. Trade Balances are so far in the "red" that saying, "no" to other venders outside the U.S. is a help to those of us in the U.S. that can't swap sovereign boundaries like, um, a Bidet.

    I agree, mod this parent up. I'm still cross eyed when little shrub thought it very profound that "America and China were two countries separated by a large body of water." After that comment, I'm glad China did not close all its ports to U.S. cargo ships for fear of genetic contamination. And I think President Obama could get a crow bar to close the spigot that drains America about a billion dollars a week in Trade Balances; I don't think we can't take much more global marketing hype.

    Multi national businesses are coming to grips with a shrinking world, some will survive this transition. HP doesn't understand that a quick ROI is expensive, it will not survive at this rate. Some other company that can plan further ahead than the next dividend will take HP's place, that is life. I will miss hp, their reputation for making fine products isn't based on selling cheap crap, but its handlers are. I hope that hp sees the day when their share holders, and the its board members stop treating their collective heads like suppositories.

    Some things to consider. Businesses can come and go as they please, people can not. But it is a standard method for businesses to be charged a license fee to do business in an area.
