Nazi Germany nationalized a lot of companies and industries. That's typically a left-wing/socialist move, not something associated with capitalism or right-wing actions. Taking over the labor unions is step one - because the labor unions typically WANT the companies left private so as to enhance their bargaining ability (bargaining against the Government can be a rather dangerous move - especially with fascist dictators at the helm).
Socialism and fascism are two sides of the same coin, so it's all that strange really.
Quite insightful! For it is only via fascist actions (Government coercion/force) that socialism can survive... I guess that's also why most socialist/communist nations end up nationalizing industries and using anti-freedom actions (fascism) to maintain control of the populace.
During the 12 years of the Third Reich, government ownership expanded greatly into formerly private sectors of strategic industries: aviation, synthetic oil and rubber, aluminum, chemicals, iron and steel, and army equipment. The capital assets of state-owned industry doubled during this same period, whereby the nationalization caused state-ownership of companies to increase to over 500 businesses.[42] Further, government finances for state-owned enterprises quadrupled from 1933 to 1943.[43] Albert Speer in his memoirs remarked that “a kind of state socialism seemed to be gaining more and more ground” among many Nazi party functionaries, warning that Germany’s industry was becoming “the framework for a state-socialist economic order.”[44] Earlier, Hitler had restated his economic intentions in a 1931 interview with Richard Breiting, singling out the 13 point plank of the National Socialist 25-point program, which he declared “demands the nationalisation of all public companies, in other words socialisation, or what is known here as socialism.”[45]
Nationalization of companies is typically a left-wing thing, not a right-wing thing. Nazi Germany had a decidedly left-wing tilt in terms of its economy - socialist, if you will.
I've worked at several places that tried to use Slack... Most ended up using it for cutesy-type office notifications because the always-on/always-in-your-face approach of Slack is worse for productivity than even open office spaces. Slack does nothing that e-mail doesn't do - other than notify you IMMEDIATELY whenever anyone adds to a thread. It breaks the whole concept of segmenting/compartmentalizing the efforts of your day. Of course, with modern "tools" needing hundreds of developers and engineers to accomplish what used to be done with just a dozen, it's no wonder Slack is leading the charge...
Not true. I've owned a Chinese company before, full-out. Look up "Wholly Foreign Owned Entity" - Woofies. You cannot operate in all industries (financial, telecom, heavy industries like automotive or steel) but pretty much everything else you can be 100% foreign owned. But China does tax the crap out of anything imported, carefully audits your books every year (whilst your Chinese competition gets off scot-free without paying any taxes because they are never audited) and generally tries to make life miserable for a woofie - but you can 100% own a Chinese company, as a foreign national.
Let's be reciprocal - implement the same import tariffs and penalties (like escalating taxes based upon engine displacement) in the US that other countries introduce on USA-manufactured goods. Given it costs about 5% duties to import most electronics from China to the US, and about 65% to import from the US into China... A free market should be reciprocal, no?
Wish I could get good quality audio over Bluetooth. Heck, even AptX would be passable - too bad iOS does not support it... It's more important to "look good" than to "sound good" after all!
PS: Snopes confirms that Casor was "among the first to have his lifetime ownership of a servant legally sanctioned by a court." Not Politifact but equivalent. And The Smithsonian states has an article titled "The Horrible Fate of John Casor, The First Black Man to be Declared Slave for Life in America". I guess Snopes and the Smithsonian can no longer be trusted?
No I completely understand the historical context of the piece. That same historical context for the statues being torn down. And Casor - the indentured servant whom Johnson successfully argued could NOT end his indentured servanthood - was effectively, by decree of a Court that overturned his freedom from serving his contract - was the first legal slave in the US. Johnson kept him past his contract - and did so with the force of the Court behind him. Casor was the first legal slave in the US - one who's position in life, as a slave, was confirmed and guaranteed by a decision of the Court.
HK is a Special Administrative Region, with its own laws, currency, passports, languages (English and Cantonese are standard and legally binding, in mainland China it is only Mandarin), and such. As a US citizen, I just need a passport to go to HK; my Chinese national wife requires a special visa to go to HK. HK is "China" as much as Taiwan is...
So for my wire transfer, I could pay $1900 for the transfer, versus $15. And how fast is that money available? Wired funds typically are good within 1 day or faster... With the extreme volatility of Bitcoin, a 1 day delay could slash - or raise - costs by 10% or more.
"This was the first instance of a judicial determination in the Thirteen Colonies holding that a person who had committed no crime could be held in servitude for life" - John Punch was a criminal sentenced to a life sentence. Casor served his indentured servitude time, then was legally kept as a slave not because he broke his contract (like Punch) but because his owner, a black man, sued to keep him.
Getting money out of China, if you want so, is easy. You simply do a wire transfer to an over seas account. Just like in any other country.
Up to $50,000 per year, yes. Above that - you need a tax permit and register your capital as well and inform the Government of why you are doing the transfer. So I guess if you want to take 20 years to move your $1 millon overseas, you can - but going to Guangzhou, buying a few hundred thousand dollars worth of gold and a $500,000 jade bracelet and walking across the border to Hong Kong is a bit easier than a wire transfer.

From Wikipedia about the Nazi pre-war economy:
During the 12 years of the Third Reich, government ownership expanded greatly into formerly private sectors of strategic industries: aviation, synthetic oil and rubber, aluminum, chemicals, iron and steel, and army equipment. The capital assets of state-owned industry doubled during this same period, whereby the nationalization caused state-ownership of companies to increase to over 500 businesses.[42] Further, government finances for state-owned enterprises quadrupled from 1933 to 1943.[43] Albert Speer in his memoirs remarked that “a kind of state socialism seemed to be gaining more and more ground” among many Nazi party functionaries, warning that Germany’s industry was becoming “the framework for a state-socialist economic order.”[44] Earlier, Hitler had restated his economic intentions in a 1931 interview with Richard Breiting, singling out the 13 point plank of the National Socialist 25-point program, which he declared “demands the nationalisation of all public companies, in other words socialisation, or what is known here as socialism.”[45]

Slack is basically IRC for business that just raised money at a $5 billion valuation.
Yep, as long as the Irish aren't allowed...

Trump won the popular vote, too - there are only 538 votes cast for the President of the United States. He won a strong majority of them.

Brooks agrees with me. Blazing Saddles was so non-PC there is no way it could get made today. Too many SJW snowflakes would be hurt...
Zoom lenses are typically too large to fit on phones, so you're out of luck...

Android has been returning more revenue than iOS since 2014. And it's trivial to support previous versions of Android, as opposed to iOS...
Educate yourself. Sorry, snowflake.
Under a buck. Seriously. Margins actually shrink as you go down in price, too...
