     Because Boomers wanted cheap shit from overseas and didn't give a shit about the future. There's no pulling money out of your ass on an international scale; the money always has to come from somewhere.

     God forbid Euros or their descendants across the pond embrace a even tiny modicum of austerity (a.k.a. living within your means).

     If you didn't, they'd stop selling you cheap dog toys and smartphones. The trade balance always balances somewhere; nobody just gives you stuff for free. Once you run out of savings, you have to start pawning power plants and steel factories.

     @Nudhul @Hoss @istvan @trogdor Sad! I think they were talking of nationalising the steel factory or they'd be shut down. I still find it hard to believe that this shit can happen... that we just let foreigners own important things here rather than thinking of national security. I think even a Danish owns more estates and land in Scotland than the Scottish nobility which is absurd.

     Doesn't matter. It's still cheaper to make stuff down the street than to ship it from the other side of the planet, assuming you haven't passed a mountain of laws making that artificially extremely expensive.

     Was it "slave labor" in the US in 1950 when the US competed just fine? The "muh slave labor" argument is just plain false. The cost of labor is high because the cost of living is high and taxes are high. The cost of living is high because interest rates are low and massive, ridiculous levels of regulatory capture and mandatory petty luxuries, and absurd taxes. Did I mention the taxes?

     Don’t ignore the way American businesses were willing to race to the bottom of quality to compete on price, and to shit up their own markets to preserve their market position. General Motors is a great example of this and did it globally

     Trade has been around forever. In fact, this sort of thing was the central dispute of the Nullification Crisis... 150 years prior. What changed int he 70's was the massive increase in taxes and regulations that utterly crippled American companies. Shortly after, China decided to move away from communism, as it turned out to be retarded. So all the companies, like water seeking its level, left the newly-communist USA and moved to the newly-free-market China.

     @Hoss @istvan @trogdor Yes. I do not want an Indian colony. That country is still backwards with a caste system, parts of the country are still living in the past and mistreat (Even rape) women so I'm not surprised that Indians try to escape it. Too bad people bring their baggage with them so they make the places they escape to what they were trying to escape because they keep the same values and faith they had where they came from which made their own country so bad.

     The American lifestyle for the past few generations was basically the product of a whole nation running up a credit card that had no spending limits while they only make the minimum payments every month. Now the card is getting declined when we swipe it, and due to generations of fiscal illiteracy the vast majority of people are completely incapable of understanding why swiping the card isn't allowing us to get stuff anymore.

     The company boss doesn't make much more than you when there aren't a bunch of regulations and taxes preventing you from starting your own company with blackjack and hookers and 0.2% lower profit margins (thereby pushing him out of the market unless he sells his cabana).

     And poor you will be, if you live in the US and it manages to install and keep high (200%+) tariffs on non-economically-crippled nations. You'll have a lot less stuff than the Boomers had, but you'll have a job and only a little smog, which is a lot better than having cheap dog toys you can't afford because there are no jobs while China buys your power plants. It's by far the lesser of evils, but will require a degree of austerity.

     They aren't all bad (factories shouldn't be Gilded Age-tier hazardous work environments, industrial waste shouldn't be dumped into waterways, etc) but yes, there's a lot of regulations that serve no purpose but to gatekeep competition from established players.

     "Regulation" is always the wrong way to approach the problem. Don't want companies dumping toxic waste? Pass a law saying that if a company does that the CEO gets hanged. But making them file a bunch of senseless paperwork ahead of time is nonsensical, ineffective commie bullshit.

     In a world where dueling is legal, all publicly traded corporations should be required to have bylaws mandating that activist investors can challenge the CEO to a duel on the grounds that he must either accept or step down from his position.

     @eriner @istvan @Hoss @dcc @trogdor @gentoobro @Leyonhjelm @sim i think why it ended up getting axed was because people were being total niggers and pulling karmello's and using dueling laws to deny culpability.

     If we're gonna bring duels back, violating the rules of dueling needs to be strictly punished and prosecuted as murder.

     Regulation is requiring preemptive compliance with arbitrary rules (inevitably naively) intended to prevent an infraction (but never actually does), whereas criminalization is leaving people the hell alone so long as they don't do the bad thing, then punishing them after the fact if they do.

     Regulation prevents nothing; no amount of paperwork ever stopped a single barrel of DDT from getting dumped. Worse, in practice regulations tend to protect the big offenders from prosecution, since, after all, they did file all those papers that the little guy couldn't afford to.

     @Nudhul @dcc @istvan @trogdor @gentoobro @Hoss @Leyonhjelm @sim I've solved this problem with my new app: DuelMarket. Not only does it maintain a public ledger for all registered duels, you can bet on the outcomes for any registered duelist!

     And there's no such thing as welching on a national scale. No matter what you do you're taking it up the ass one way or another, whether that be onerous taxes just going to debt payments or insane inflation and the exchange rates that go along with it.
