What I'm talking about when I use the word fungi limits is the subsidy issue.

You should know me better than that Brooke.

Consider, for example, the central bank of Japan holding the dollar up by holding dollars on account -dollars that were exchanged for yen because of payments made by Americans to Japanese importers.

Is that a subsidy to Japanese companies that sell goods in the US? It certainly helps them achieve cost parity, thus driving revenue. It certainly is a bill footed by the Japanese government.

Fungible: money is the thing to which I'm referring, and if you want to see examples of who is exploiting it, just look at those nations holding large dollar reserves.

For the record, no, not all things can be off-shored. There are good shippers and bad, as well as sizable differences, including qualitative in all factors of production.

My point above: it sure would be nice if the US government weren't providing a tax disparity in that most fungible of things, thus encouraging capital flight.

Otherwise, pardon my buzzword.

Sorry, PJ.  I meant no offense.  I wasn't commenting on your stuff -- just the quote from Ratsy's former employer.

Have they cut any American jobs due to this announcement? If so, show us.
I was just agreeing with you. The more American jobs they cut, the more Boeing profits. As far as this announcement, every unit that would have been completed here is cut, thus jobs lost. I'm curious how many that is. I've never partnered with a communist government before.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Yeah, so I often wonder if the day will come when the Chinese government nationalizes everything we've "invested" with some kind words, "hey, thanks for capitalizing the PRC, now read the shoe and get the f*** out <boot>!". That's what you can only call "political risk".

However, to call modern China communist is to confuse the name with the thing. I've spent time in Nanjing. That place is communist in name only. It's open for business, has private ownership, and is very much profit-driven. It's a bit more of a synthetic, call it crony capitalist, much like most of the west these days.

It's an aluminum dildo with wings, just like all modern airliners. Efficient it is. Beautiful it is not.

Come now, Zack, admit it. You're just upset because the colliery shut down and moved operations to Chongqing and all the coal miners ended up on the dole living in council estates. Don't worry, there's always the BNP and marching and tinkering. now, you know I hate to see a grown man cry, so off with you.

As for burning down the White House, isn't it about time? You guys tried it in 1812 but, back then, people would've been more upset about it. Nowadays, they'll just stand on the lawn and watch amused as the WFD hoses down the embers.

Anyone read "One Second After" ?
What happens with the Chinese regarding the US at the end of the book?  :lol
It's why I have a Chinese SKS and scotch tape to assist my round eye droop.  :rolleyes:

Yep.  And without preparation by the US (which would be quite cheap and easy to do if only we would decide to do it), we are hugely vulnerable to N. Korea, Iran (once [can't talk about it] helps them get nuclear weapons), Pakistan, and any group that manages to get even one nuke on a crappy rocket into a shipping container off our coast.

Hmm... I guess masturbation needs a new metaphor.
