What is this single idea that Corps have to do what we say?
For all the bad words being thrown about, communism and socialism, Isnt this one of the Fundamentals?
It used to be that corps listened, but still did things THEIR WAY. But we are also the ones that States and Fed, kept giving Tax benefits away to them. WOW, move your company over here, and hire a couple hundred people, we wont tax you for 10-20 years.
LOVE that BS, and when the time is up the company MOVED.
Ever wonder why SOME international corps Moved to the USA? The Profit margins are HUGE. In their own countries, I think that have the same problems as OURS DID.
Iv had discussions with people who like trump, and the idea of moving the companies BACK to the USA.
rebuilding the Facilities(EXPENSIVE)
Material costs, not made in mexico or china or anyplace else. The USA has some of the highest Material prices in the world. ANd more facilities to make those parts(even more expensive)
there are other things involved, but everyone comes to LABOR. With Full automation, compared to the past, you can have 1/4 the workers. As has been done in other countries Already. Those plants have advanced, NOT ours. In the USA we Love the cheapest, quickest, way to do things. WE want them to break down so the customer has to buy it AGAIN. You cant have something that will last 40 years, 20 years, 10 years. If the companies had their Choice int he USA, you would buy Every year. 1 year 1 month, 1 day after purchase, it would fall apart.
For the regular worker we have to Prove ourselves every day, and be evaluated by 3-4 boss's.
When did we stop doing the same for our representatives and elected?
The new thing coming is that your cars are collecting All your data, tracking to where you are going, and Even sending the data wireless.
A person bought a car in the EU, and discovered he could remote to his car, Over the internet. HE posted that he would like to find another person in another area with the same type/model of car. Found someone in Australia. Contacted them, traded abit of info. And did a test on the car, While he was in the EU, on his cellphone to the person.
He had partial control of that persons car. And this is about 5 years ago.
Dont tell me that things like Onstar, and soforth are only for emergencies. IT WILL BE ABUSED and USED against you.
I can see a bank robber, running out and driving away. and someone checks the area for Wireless signals, find the car and tracks it home.
What I wonder, is How in hell do those following him think he did so much?
Who is telling them Trump did what?
Something really seems wrong in this. As in trump Cant force corps to come back. Not unless he can show lower costs to create products. And dumping min wage, ISNT going to do it.
" It did this by forcing both OEMs and service providers into long-term agreements that prevented them from purchasing chips from Broadcom's competitors, then bullying them if they went off script: "
IT IS LEGAL TO BUY YOUR OWN CABLE/SAT BOXES.
If you can find them.
But they only get made as the Customer needs/wants them, and can Purchase a large amount.
Then in some cases there is a chip inside that can be changed AS NEEDED.
It took years and current tech to decipher the encoding and proprietary config in these machines. As it did with old Nintendo and finding it in the Chip encoded Driver(they spread the encoding over more then 1 chip).
Where are the investigators? the detectives?
The ones that should CHECK and monitor a location that is suspected?
To Expensive? To time consuming?
Even in my Little area in the country. The cops have remote cameras they use.
i was accused of trespassing on a persons property. Police set up a few cameras. NOTHING in 1 whole year, happened at that home, except the persons residing there, kept calling the police. NO one ever got near that home of property.
Then comes a great question. Where in hell is the riot gear? They are so scared of getting SHOT AT, and they wont wear in when they are RAIDING a home? Not even when they were watching the Riots, did we see that many officers wearing riot gear. does this require special training NOT GIVEN??
You would think a few cameras around a premise, would answer ALLOT of questions. Like HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE, and HOW many cops you need to arrest 1 person inside.
Yes there are Bad apples, and they stand out very well, IF you look.
But lets not forget the JUDGES who sign off on these. In most cases its NOT just the cops running around doing it, without authorization. WE have allot of elected officials NOT DOING THE JOB THEY ARE HIRED FOR.
How many people have you fired for saying something you didnt like?
How many have been fired because someone in your hotels, got upset about something?

Will you be responsible to the republican party for ANY comments they say?

Im talking Full blown Capitalism.
Have you seen NASA? Who wants to do Allot more but cant get the money except from the Gov? And Why? Because the military Loves placing LARGE things in space.
And that anyone that couldnt Prove they could get into space SAFELY, was Either stopped or arrested? We have had allot of people trying, just no money from Anyone to help, and if discovered. They would loose all of the goods they created.
Capitalism is the idea of finding what a group wants/needs, finding it, and selling it to them at a profit. Then if possible finding a Product Everyone wants, and over charging for it until sales drop, lower the price and Sell it again at a high price until sales lower/stop, then Sell it at a fair price until it runs out. THEN make Version 2. And repeat.
AND if you are very good at this. YOU CREATE A MARKET for the product, that no one Knows they need/want.
Its a great way to kill off a country, Take all their money, and they have to print more.
Right now it takes 3-5 people, to design a product, ship the idea to china to see how much it will cost, OK the product, have it shipped, and then have the Distribution systems Pick it up, and send to the stores. So, What jobs?
Do you realize that the corps can restrict products in the USA? THEY wont buy them, nor sell certain products. AND because the corp Purchases them at high prices, they can control the price of the product IF' its ever in this country. Your cable box, a TV recorder system, and a few other things. Also consider where they come from. NOT American made 99% of the time.
Once you gave up the regs and laws for corporations and conglomerates, you gave up your power to control them.
They can do Anything that want, and YOU SAID SO, by not doing the RIGHT thing Long ago.
Capitalism has flaws, socialism has flaws, democracies have flaws.
But capitalism is based on taking advantage of Others systems and flaws. Its a giant game.
I dont think we are much democratic in recent history. The 2 groups have NOT asked us what we want. They dont cares, its Their agenda.
All the money the politicians get Came from us, but we dont get any representation for it. And the corps keep taking our money.
Re: Amazon's unchecked market power poses a threat to competitio
If you goto both internet locations.
LOOK around, Look at WHO is selling.
Both Amazon and Walmart FRONT for other companies. LOTS of other companies.
Buy where is the overhead?
Thats the fun part, as most sellers in the USA cant go direct, and buy from other USA companies which forces the prices up FARTHER.
HOW many times do our products go from 1 company to another to get to a reseller?
How many Original Manufactures and 1st Wholesalers, get into this to sell AT Consumer prices?
There are so many levels to Wholesales, that unless you are willing to Buy 1000+ of something, you will NOT get a discount, as a seller. THAT is whats killing off the Smaller companies and Competitors.
AND All of this is based on the SMALLER companies competing. WHY? If that were so, then we could WIPE out TONS of Major sellers.
really wonder what store they got THEIR phone from and not have ATT, Vorizen, Samsung, and a list as long as your ARM Apps on it.
Friend of mine has a samsung phone, Vorizen service and Android. ALL of them want control of the phone, and it fills up EVERYTHING in ram.
Real pain to figure which one you want, IF you want abit of space left.
The real problem?
Is thinking an economy HAS TO GO UP.
The second problem is a tax system so complicated you need a 4-6 year degree to even understand most of it. and the biggest holes are the ones the corps have made themselves.

There was a box, if you could find it, that had a Encode card inside it that could be programmed, and Cable HAD to give you access and update it as needed, WHEN you paid. But they werent cheap(they were but) And even computers could use them.
