Frankly I think trade with China is ultimately more constructive than China-bashing If you call artificial cheapening of their currency, dumping of persistent low-quality goods until they stick, and the selling out of our national sovereignty to them trade, so be it. Don't be surprised to see it continue until the desired outcome is reached, and without the mistakes made with Japan.
Thousands of jobs being lost in an inefficient industry is a good thing Transition is even better, and engenders less hate. The displaced get a transition to somewhere where they are needed at a pace they fully control(read: less signalling, more action). They are less likely to turn to crime if they have a direct hand in their future (as opposed to indirect/signalled).
The loss is always temporary, and those people will eventually find more efficient jobs. Apparently you would consider larger values of temporary acceptable if you replaced CompUSA with General Motors. In both cases, you're still presuming the areas are even capable of such tasks if the industry wants to move out.
Christ you sound like the MPAA. Oh will you PLEASE think of the thousands? They've bought Washington DC lock, stock and barrel. Consider that their transition to other industries of use.
Is it any better to have the target be "unassailable" as opposed as to one that can be named if they both get blamed for the same things?
NCR woulld seem to fit a bit more than IBM given some of its circumstances nearly following script. It'd fit given that it was a large company(similar to something Yoda would lead) with influence across the world, but then extinguished(via AT&T and Nyberg) to obscurity.
That's not to mention that their local presence is all but going or gone, and with a similar touch.
It's so hard to find one because so many people want one, they're a reasonable price For values of reasonable only accepted by economists and scalpers.
(tax cuts for corporations & rich people = more jobs). It also means something called Noblesse Oblige on a national scale. Apparently it's being misinterpreted to allow things like Enron, up to the "Aspen Pardon" that voided any convictions.
ust look at what happened during Reagan (i.e. "trickle-down" economics) He helped break apart our national sovereignty. Also, the big thing about breaking the will of unions nullify that idea about trickle down benefits. By the time something becomes "universally accessible" due to it, it's been removed of any quality to speak of whatsoever.
or the current administration ...which will hopefully be the last users of the Reaganist system of economics and a complete gutting of its remaining components.
You know....freedom also means freedom to fail, and freedom to fuckup That is how violent unrest forms. That is, the kind that says "believe in the Holy Market or be punished heavily for your blasphemy". When you can easily engineer permanent values of "fuckup", that is why there are said safety nets.
I dunno what happened to personal responsibility, such things are what grew the US to greatness For the larger part, that mostly happened with your hated regulations in place.
(although I sadly think we're now on a downhill slope) Repeal "Right to Work" laws, and remove Taft-Hartley permanently. Barring people from collective bargaining does you no good.
But really...when the hell did it become the US governements place to 'take care' of us in spite of ourselves? When it has been proven that self interest is too fickle to rely upon.
That's not what the country was built on....ingenuity, and self motivation and personal independence, those are what drove the country. Now...we're just all getting soft.. That same independence can also be interpreted the other way as well. Indeed we are getting soft, it is due to prostituting this nation's sovereignty with globalization(in its current form).
Well, if you let "The Holy and Unfallible Austrian School of Economics" run their funding, that's what's going to happen to NASA. Underfunded, and with equipment barely even capable to do the job.
Some things require a "Manhattan Project" approach to get off the ground, when the market solution would take generations to even get something off the ground and be made with no attention to quality or assurance that anything living would survive.
You can't argue that a capitalist system (such as, well, all of global trade) is geared toward profits and maximising commodification? Shame that quality gets killed in the process, something regulation gladly would keep alive and at a sane price.
They can always do a strict proxy check, verify your IP, and/or require the use of a piece of identification that would pin you in NJ (that has a very high penalty of falsifying).

The reference referred more to Hurd's history before HP more than it was to the calculators.

I believe you mean NCR.
Fortunately it's too far for them to camp, and they havent figured out that there is no loot on the moon(save for the US mission).

That's a lie.
I just hope that this iteration of refunding, that the old SDI/"Star Wars" initative can be awakened .

Your model would probably have just as much expense if they didnt cut so many corners, especially on quality.
