Who said I'm not doing anything. I have several thousand rounds of ammunition and a stockpile of food, what have YOU done? What should I do? Write a letter to my congress person Corrine Brown? Ha ha ha-breath- ha ha ha.
There is no "solution". When the globalist can't suck another dollar out of us they will retreat to greener pastures and survivors of the collapse will eke out a "Road Warrior" existence. Until then, don't worry, be happy.
Globalism is great until your job is out sourced. Of course any business will charge the maximum for it's product. You own an iPhone don't you? We hope that competition will keep prices, and profits, lower.
Allowing foreign manufactures to compete drives prices even lower and usually eliminates domestic profits completely and with it the business. Now the money you spend for that product disappears form our economy and can't be used to hire people or pay taxes.
The genie is out of the bottle now so global corporations run the world. In a few years American wages will match those of Mexico and India. One reason is that most Mexicans will be here anyway.
H1-B, foreign workers, work cheap, business makes more profit. You buy cheap imported goods, more cash stays in your bank account. Same motive, get every thing as cheap as you can. We are all guilty.
Heard it from the authors mouth. Jerry Purnelle speaking at a forum in Jacksonville, Fl at Dream Con. Some works are left out of print until a new audience develops. Then with a marking push the work is re-released. He said some well meaning person will come up to him and say," I saw this great story was out of print so to give younger readers a taste I put it online for you." So there goes any chance of the release having any audience left.

Do you drive a foreign car? Where was your computer built? Who picks the produce you buy? Where was the shirt you're wearing sewn?
You say, "Americans can't build a reliable car, they wont do that kind of work, their stuff cost to much." There is a bumper sticker I see on pickups in my area, "Don't talk bad about a farmer with your mouth full."
Don't cry for them. I worked with a Mexican who made $10 an hour stacking produce bags. He said he had a four bedroom home built back in Mexico. He sent back enough money for his retirement with servants for his wife.
Freedom of movement. One reason I didn't go to collage in 1970 was because freshmen couldn't have a car on campus. Without my 68 Impala I felt helpless. Yeah, that was dumb, I could have took my motorcycle. Wasn't getting any girls anyway.
Not really, Union state, WORKERS vote to unionize, union, with all the legal protections (right to strike). Pay up sucker. Even if public officials grow a pair and offer a taxpayer fair contract, the union can reject it, they can then shut down the system and the police will join them in solidarity. Where's Ronald Reagan when you need him.
This is a public union where money comes out of tax payers pockets. Who gets to say how deep those pockets are? And allowing a few hundred people to hold hundreds of thousands of people hostage? Just deed the system to the union and have them set prices high enough to cover their demands. Oh yeah, more hostage holding.
I'm sure there are over a billion, huddled masses, who would gladly immerse in our culture. You really want them ALL here? Who gets to say "We're full, no more"? Me, you, the UN?
Like Raj said on "The Big Bang Theory" when he thought he was going to be deported back to India, "There are so many people, they're everywhere".
That's called farming. One crop per year, one paycheck. Unless you lose money and can't pay back your loan. No paycheck this year for you. Too much of that and the bank seizes your assets.:(
Hyperbole is what the internet is for, I got you didn't I? Hate is such a harsh word, distaste and apprehension maybe. I grew up Southern Baptist in the Fifty's South. I'm a sweet, lovable old guy, I don't mean anyone any harm. xoxoxo.
No comparison, where are the thousands of sq miles of virgin prairie to plow? Or billions of board feet of lumber to build new homes. Not to mention the EPA, OSHA or DNR. How many millions of Mexicans have marched across the southern border? Most new jobs require above average intelligence. Half of the population is effectively unemployable.
Did their competitors have instant world wide communications, wire transfer of funds, high speed container ships that could land thousands of tons of merchandise on the docks from China in two weeks?
Funny you should mention farmers. How many jobs where there in China fifty years ago? Where did a billion Chinese come from if no one had a job? Subsistence farming. Same thing in India and Africa. Modern medicine, mostly antibiotics, have allowed human populations to boom. Modern farming methods, machines, and fertilizers greatly increased food supplies and now most of theses farmers are unemployed. Get rid of the machines, fertilizers, and pesticides and food production will drop then most of those people can go back to the land. I put in my forty years farming and I'm NOT going back, but everyone else can.
The feudal system was much better. 20% to the Lord and the serfs shared everything else. What, there was a market place with merchants? People bought and sold things? really?
I guess Florida is different. Beck Auto Group, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Ford, Nissan. Garber Auto Mall, Buick Chevrolet Chrysler Dodge Ford GMC Jeep Ram Dealer.
Well, I'm glad I still have my first amendment rights even though you would take them away. But in thirty years will I end up like Paula Deen? Ancient cultures used that word but now it's almost (and could be) a capital offense.
Marrage is about inheritance. The first born son of the legal wife inherited the lands and titles of his father. Bastard sons had little or no rights and of course all female children had no rights.
Ours is the first society to revere homosexuals. Most societies only tolerated "taboo" sex and some, even today, view it as a major crime. This is irrespective of whether or not the "desert goat herder" religions had ever been taught. With anything negative publicly being said about homosexuals declared "hate speech" leaders of most major religions will find their first amendment rights severely restricted and may find their holy texts censored.

But, but, if we raise tariffs than no one will buy our stuff. US trade deficit 500 billion. Free trade is not fair trade.

You say they can't communicate. How long does it take them to get a flash mob organized?
They're almost done with Paula and George, you better lay low for a while.
People in small towns aren't cheap, they're poor.
Ah, 1950s farm life, The Walton's with electricity and indoor plumbing. You can have the rat race, I never left.

I know what you mean. My son had $50,000 in loans from law school. It took him three whole months to pay that back. It was terrible.
