Yes, wingnuts: MCIs and CGEs and those left and right who bow to them.
Yes, Profit margins are quite important in the business realm. They allow for expansion and retainment of current employees as well.
And when taken to extreme they cause in- and out- sourcing of American jobs to wage-slaves.
It would seem that less extremism is in order.
Perhaps we have the wrong neanderthals running our corporations, and a little less Darwinian dog-eat-dogism would do us well.
Terrible analogy, you're completely ignoring the numerous and important allies earned in no small part through economic diplomacy.
Or, in other, words, the truth of my obviously accurate analogy doesn't escape you, and you have a particular agenda here as you describe.
Make that 5 years. My sincerest apologies. The question stands though, was foreign investment and outsourcing somehow obsolete during recent decades?
You seem to like to deal in extremes.
It's not a question of whether it existed (one extreme) or not (the other extreme); creating a false dichotomy is meaningless.
The fact remains that it's best to keep damaging aberrations to a minimum, which occurred through measures of statutes, statutes which began being dismantled during the Reagan corporate socialist movement .. until the stage was set at the turn of the century for greater exploitation of "labor markets" abroad.
As to a more important figure now, the real un- and under- employment rate of around 14% isn't going to decrease much any time soon .. and is likely to suddenly skyrocket again .. like it did in the post-holiday season of 1933, because, then, as now, we couldn't get Americans working again, and the dead-weight eventually sunk enough additional American businesses to bring the next level down too.
Outsourcing did increase greatly in the 00's, but you're conveniently ignoring the fact that the U.S. economy and labor market were operating at near normal capacity for the vast majority of that period.
I'm not ignoring anything.
I'm not even questioning the questionable veracity of your assertion.
I do question how important is "the economy" if too many people are out of work.
I realize "the economy" has value to those who bullishly seek to profit from it.
When we can find a way to make "the economy" "strong" and eliminate in- and out- sourcing to wage-slaves, then we'll be better Americans because of it.
Indeed, when it comes to ignoring something, it's time for "economists" and "labor analysts" to stop ignoring the horrific plight of the millions of unemployed Americans back then .. and the scores of millions of Americans now remaining without full-time living-wage jobs.
Wingnuts Blaming outsourcing for the Mortgage crisis? That's a new one. I wouldn't stick with it though, given the complete lack of supporting evidence.
Are you purposely misconstruing, or was my starightforward presentation too complex for you?
Wingnuts are denying that the jobs stolen from Americans were stolen.
The reality is that the
sub-prime securities crisis, as it was
more accurately referenced, was, indeed, precipitated on precisely that: sub-primers having their jobs in- and out- sourced from under them in the, as you admit here, ramp-up of such job stealing entering the middle of the past decade. All that turn-of-the-century effort to bring sub-primers into the real estate market backfired when our corporations subsequently ramped-up their Darwinian dog-eat-dogism competition. Once sub-primers lost their jobs .. their mortage eventually followed.
Only a revisionist bent on hiding their agendas would deny the now long-known reality of it.
Anything else from the Astrology section catch your eye? Stock picks perhaps?
Nope -- nothing more from your publication was worth mentioning.
