Now it is time to start going to nations in which the large companies sell their goods cheap at, buy them and simply bring them back and resell them here.
It has always ticked me off that so many of the medical companies sell their drugs and equipment for a fraction of the price in all other nations compared to what they do here. And no, it has nothing to do with regs. After all, it is the exact same piece of equipment. It is called, you charge what the market will bear.
Actually, not much different. The fact is, that most of our manufacturing got its power from nuke plants. So, no. What you should be asking is, how our shipping the manufacturing over to china, or how Canada ships some of its manufacturing to Mexico, or how Europe ships to poland and other eastern europe nations outside of kyoto, is disastrous. Polands emissions have gone up, while Germany's has gone down just a little. Mexico's has shot way up, but that is mostly due to Canada buying plants in USA and then exporting them to Mexico who is not hampered by kyoto.
Kyoto is the worst fucking nightmare that there is. It is actually making things WORSE, not better.
The problem with Chernobyl is that when it started, the gov did NOTHING. In fact, their lack of doing anything is what lead to it getting worse and spreading all over.
Simbol Materials. However, at this time, recovering Au is not profitable enough. BUT, I am going to guess that with enough injections over and over that we will soon see the Au concentration rise to the point where it is profitable to look at it.
If USA did not sell the coal to China, then China will get it elsewhere. Simple as that. It is almost silly that this is being brought up. The ones to knock on this is NOT USA, but China. They are the ones that are demanding it. The advantage of getting it from USA, is that the coal is cleaner than it would be elsewhere.
There is a lot more on the ISS than what was on MIR. Both ideas from USA and Russia went into it. For example, much of the solid communication comes from USA. And then you have the bathroom which was done cheaply by the Russians. And Life support via Russians was cheap and MOSTLY reliable, but it has had plenty of issues. OTOH, the new water recycling and life support systems from USA appears to be doing a good job. There is a great deal on the ISS that comes from western tech.
It never really was Mexico. Claiming that any of the west was Mexico is a lot like claiming that the moon belongs to America, or that Antarctica belongs to Argentina. Or Japan claiming that China belongs to them. The fact is, that Mexico had set up a number of forts because they were busy fighting the millions of native American Indians that were here. In fact, it was the new Spaniards that wiped out so many of them, not the American.
And yet, the CEO who made all the decisions was a LONG time known hard core well connected republican. That is why he was approved for funding under W. And to be fair, Solyndra was actually a good bet. The problem is that China subsidized and dump on our market. Worse yet, the neo-cons insisted that all of our subsidies be open to all companies esp. China. Basically, the republicans wanted this to fail.
First off, I work my ass off to NOT buy Chinese made goods. The reason is that the chinese gov is obviously in a cold war with the west.
I prefer to buy American, but I have no issue buying from a western nation, or any nation that is not trying to bury us.
And the problem with American companies is that they do NOT put profits first. What is going on, is that when reagan dropped the requirements that exec not own stock, it actively encouraged executives to get large stock options, run up short term profits thereby running up stocks and then sell their own options.
Basically, all of the executives are destroying our companies and our nation just to get a small fortune for themselves.
2 things that should be changed in American companies:
1) require that executives (maybe managers as well) no longer own public-traded stock in the company or the industry. However, it should be encouraged for companies to provide employee stock and allow executives to own it as well as the employees.
2) quit giving tax breaks to outsource the work to China. Seriously, that is just plain stupid.
3) stop with all the tax breaks. Re-write our taxes dropping nearly all breaks/subsidies, and do a progressive tax on personal and corporate.
When you are mugged you get nothing. When you are taxed, you get things. Now, if you do not like our taxes, please, leave. You are free to go. Try china. I think that is more in-line with what you neo-con types like.
We did price controls in the 70s. You were not around to see the disaster that it produced.
Likewise, USSR had price controls.
Finally, China still has price controls on most of their nation's goods that are not exported.
My answer is, no thanks.
Also, you really need to be able to add. .20 the first year and.10 a year thereafter for another 3 years. That adds.50 to taxes. Also, oil is expected to drop to $50/bl by fall. And finally, we have replacements via joules bioenergy coming on-line over the next 4 years. Combine that with [LC]NG coming on strong, well, I see diesel and gas dropping quick. What is needed is for us to raise the taxes on diesel and gas and use it for infrastructure.
There's no such "push" unless you count continued, incompetent attempts by various governments in the US.
You mean the $7500 for electric or NG cars is NOT a push towards such? Or that more than 33% of the state govs. have said that all future vehicles will be NG so as to not import oil? You mean that those are not pushes?
Finally note, that Keystone is NOT about getting oil to America. It is about getting oil to refineries in Texas who will then ship those oil products out. America will generally gain nothing out of keystone
I gain nothing from your continued existence, but that would be a poor argument for opposing your existence as a consequence. While it could be argued that the US would gain nothing from this pipeline, it is also true that a large number of US citizens would gain at no significant loss to the rest of us (which is why the effort is still progressing along despite the considerable interference from the Obama administration and elsewhere). That's in my view a great reason to allow such endeavors to continue.
As I said, Keystone is NOT about getting oit to America, in spite of the BS that we are fed. However, I back it for a different reason. Basically, if the west is exporting oil, while we move off of oil for transportation, then it drops OPEC's ability to control the west. However, Transcanada's, the American oil companies, and the republican claim that this is about sending oil to America is total BS.
BS. We constantly stumble from one issue to another with the neo-cons making big todo's out of EVERYTHING. They believe that nobody will pay attention to their lies. Hell, look at the fact that they are doing as little as possible about the illegals here. They continue to want the illegals here, but as illegals.
Sigh. I hate to tell you this, but by raising the prices slowly, it avoids hitting the poor. Look at Europe and other nations. They raised their taxes slowly over a long period of time to give ppl time to adjust to buying more efficient cars. In addition, our roads, bridges, dams, etc are crumbling. Why? Because we are not taxing enough. And considering that oil is expected to be around 50/bl next fall, this is dirt cheap time to raise these. And adding even.1/gal to 3.5 is not that much.
It is LONG past time to raise taxes. If the gas tax goes to the states and the diesel tax goes to the highway system, then we will see repairs everywhere.
Of course, the ones creating all of these crisis and not compromising in the least, are the republicans. You did note that Romney lost the election and that a number of republicans congressmen lost their seats. Right? At the next election, the house will likely go to the dems.
So, let me see if I understand this.
China subsidizes Steel companies in China back in the late 80's, and then dumps on western markets esp America destroying others. Once they took over the markets, then the prices are double what they would have been prior to China's dumping.
From there, they do the same with electronics. We used to get cheap electronics here produced by Americans. Now, they are produced in China. Of course, a CHEAP smart phone here is around $150. Over in China, a cheap smart phone is $30.
They did the same with clothing and then fabric. Moved on to our furniture.
NOW, they flat out steal our R&D, subsidize the development in China and then dump it on our markets.
In fact, to get our AE industry off the ground we provide subsidies that is open to any and all companies. OTOH, China subsidizes ONLY Chinese companies, but all is dumped on the global market.

They already do.

Nk gets its help from its partner; China. I would not be surprised to find that the bios/eeprom was shipped with back doors.
Australia holds a lot of useful information. Now, China will hold it as well.

Solyndra? No. They will not. But on others, they already have.

Recall the phrase "continued, incompetent attempts". Sure, they are pushes. But it'd be better if those politicians had stayed out of the game.
Why do you say that?
First off, I work my ass off to NOT buy Chinese made goods. The reason is that the chinese gov is obviously in a cold war with the west.

Hell, look at the fact that they are doing as little as possible about the illegals here. They continue to want the illegals here, but as illegals.
Quit lying. Taxes did NOT go up on the rich. They were not given the tax break permanently that others were given.
Sigh. I hate to tell you this, but by raising the prices slowly, it avoids hitting the poor. Look at Europe and other nations.

And you do not see an issue with this. Really?
I like it. You can do some interesting things with it. However, you have to code.
