Americas New Foreign Policy

[Elfie]

There are factories still here in America but prices on those products arent tripling. Move all our factories offshore and hundreds of thousands of Americans WONT have jobs OR money.

Those few people that would work at the factory? Many people are still jobless (including myself). I was working in a factory as a temporary employee, that factory is FULLY staffed and working overtime on a weekly basis. There are plenty of people who are willing to work in factories.

A company moves a factory off shore because the price of using American people to staff it for the price they sell at is not worth it.  It happens when the company needs it to happen.  Some factories aren't huge, nor do they need to outsource to make a profit.


Before you post in this post again, I'd suggest you pick up an economics book before you really embarass yourself.

Same thing applies to your interpretation of the guns situation in Britain. But I won't bring it up here.

I have watched a guy shooting heroin in a shop doorway in Amsterdam. Like Swoop, I've also been offered E and "coca" just walking down the street. It goes without saying that you've always been able to get marijuana and smoke it without being harassed by the police. You don't even need to do that - just go to any of the bars nearby the banana club, and inhale deeply. M is so freely available that I've not seen it offered on the street. Why bother? That would be like offering to sell normal cigarettes on the street. No point - you can get them anywhere.

Normally, I'm polite to trades people selling me stuff I don't want. In the case of these street drug dealers I say "no, ***k off". They seem OK about that, and simply go in search of another customer.

You seem to think it's ok for our manufacturing jobs to all move overseas. That defy's logic. Every country needs to manufacture items for consumption and trade. People also need jobs.

It doesnt always happen when a company needs it to either. Many times its done simply to increase profits, not because of any need.

A company doesn't exist if it doesn't make a profit.  Err, it doesn't want to exist if it doesn't make a profit.



Just a further note:

Wow, insulting my spelling already?  Usually you hold off on admitting you lost until a few pages in.

Of course companies need to make a profit to exist  It's about making those companies more effiecent. The last factory I was working in makes medical supplies. The dept I worked in made these electrode return pads at a rate of 20,000 per shift. There were 65 people in that dept, the labor costs per unit are minimal.
