- tharmasTax incentives?
- Private debt caused the Great Depression.
- Its deliberately vague.
- Its called Quebec. They have their own laws. Quebec is Canada in name only. Its a country within a country. They can even ban Canadian citizens from entering Quebec which in the past they have done so.
- Yes. This exactly.
- >Has trump forced us into the hands of China and Europe?
Indeed. In order to get/keep Argentina out of the hands of the Chinese Trump gives them $40 Billion. A pretty risky venture considering their past record. I am aware that there are other reasons for the bailout (e.g. Citron hedge fund manager, who could lose a fortune, is a buddy of Bessant etc.).
Canada on the other hand gets lots of bullying. The hegemonic goal of the USA is to control the Western hemisphere, yet Trump does everything to make the Canadians want to pivot towards China. Is that what the Geopolitical Elites in Washington want? Or is it a ploy, to push Canada into the hands of China, giving the USA an excuse to "take Canada over".
- and our other choice is PP, who is a career politician, who's achievements are what?
I'm not happy about the choices. But c'mon PP?
- The outsourcing of American manufacturing was done by the American Corporate Elites. I hope some of your anger is directed towards them.
Lutnick has already stated that America wants all vehicles for sale in America to be built in America. Any vehicles built outside America will be tariffed.
Sure, the Chinese will destroy Canadian any auto-manufacturing left for the domestic market, but it is the Trump administration's stated goal to dismantle the Canadian auto-sector, which is happening now.
- What would the administration costs be in collecting this tax?
- The neoliberals didn't care about national security when they shifted the manufacturing and jobs to China for profit. They were outplayed by the Chinese.
My anger lies with the neoliberal elites not the Chinese. The elites can go die on the battlefield. Its their mess.
- I heard that the purpose of over hiring during Covid was to hoard talent. That is, to prevent another company from hiring that talent.
- Ah yes, the employee is a Cost, not an asset. Got it.
- Wine to run Office on Linux?
- We already live in a Plutonomy. Already 50% of sales in USA is by the top 10%. The top 1% make most of their money selling to the top 10%. The Elites don't need us for consumption to make money. Walmart is reconfiguring their sales model to carry more "luxury” items. And now with AI the Wealthy wont need human labor hardly at all. We are surplus to requirements.
The sad thing is it doesn't have to be like this. AI could be used to reduce peoples working hours and give them more leisure hours.
- There's a theory BigTech hired to hoard talent to inhibit competitiveness of rival companies.
- Yes! Western states had to ensure that life was better in a Capitalist country. Hence unions were tolerated, along with human rights, rule of law, anti corruption etc etc.
- Dont forget those private prisons need customers.
- Its a Reichstag fire/Horst Wessel moment all rolled into one. Right out of the play book.
- >China is heavily reliant on coal.
Agreed they are. But they want to move away from it, especially for air quality reasons. They've had a huge problem with air pollution. They are big into EVs. This means less reliance on foreign oil and cleaner air.
- The Chinese are going all in on electric to get away from oil and gas for geostrategic reasons.
Meanwhile team tRump are all in on oil and gas because non carbon is for libtards.
