How about we pull our military back home out of the 200+ countries we have troops in? Bet that would "fund" me being able to keep my own damn money.  |
Great idea. And you "Pay As You Go" for services that the Government provides for you.
So when you drive off your your driveway, you pay a toll, and the further you drive, the more it costs. This will cover the cost of building and maintaining the roads. Plus people like Highway Patrols, Paramedic and Firemen in case of violations and accidents. Plus the profit to make the shareholders of the companies happy.
And this will cover every single time you get something that today comes from the Government and local public services.
And you think that's cheaper?
And those who are out of work because of this won't be buying memberships to your sites. Well they won't be buying much at all, because welfare and jobs are slashed. Your payments to a security force to make sure these people don't sit in your living room, pointing guns at you, will be huge. Can you afford it?
If yes, then fine. If not
YOU'RE FUCKED!!!
And yes let's bring all the troops home, make them unemployed. They will make great security forces to protect you from the soldiers who didn't get jobs.
Robbie your solution is simplistic. The solution is long term. And needs to be solved by people who have a clue. Not Vendzilla.

They moved because the workers rates were a fraction of what the workers in the US were paid. And yes deregulation.
In countries like India, they love deregulations. Not those who have to live with the consequences.
Go sell less Government interference to these guys.
Gulf of Mexico. I won't mention Enron.
The creation of this problem we face today started in the 60s. When cheap goods started to flood in from Japan, Hong Kong and a couple of other places. The answer to criticism was the West would provide the high tech stuff and other places cheap consumer goods.
The people selling this garbage, were idiots, con men or people looking after themselves first.
China space program They couldn't feed themselves a couple of decades ago. Now they loan the US money to keep it afloat. And they have a space program. Seems the plan didn't go as it should of.

The only thing to do would be to put some protectionist measures in place, which our government will never do at the moment. If things get bad enough they might. We cannot compete

And China tells the US Government not to do that or they cut the funding of the loans.
Too late, that horse bolted 20 years ago. The US has to produce something in the US that sells to China. Stop parasites living off the work of US companies, by stealing their products, then advertising on sites giving away those products and then blaming others for the loss of jobs. Yes talking to you Vend.
