Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51769955 A friend of mine owns a company called Double H Plastics. It's not a household name, but he makes products you've seen A LOT of over the years, and everywhere too. He makes those tiny creamer cups for your coffee, and every Major yogurt company on the planet uses his cups and lids as the choice vessel for their product. They literally sell for fractions of cent each, but when you're blowing out tens of billions of these things monthly worldwide, you've got something. Dave's one of my "billionaire buddies". Helluva nice guy too at that. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 72911111 United States 09/02/2016 07:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Globalism created the "Super Class" of billionaires who vertically integrate the entire supply chain with their insider trade deals. This super class of billionaires undermine all economies which are built on small business. The effect of globalism is to destroy the power of labor unions which created the middle class through creation of higher wages. Trade Union Busting is the ultimate goal of globalism to ensure that people have no power and only corporate interests control power, which is global corporatism. No matter how you feel about trade unions, it is undeniable that they were responsible for the creation of the middle class in the USA and else where. Strong trade Unions are very important to individuals and economies, globalism undermines these. Create a global trade union against the Nafta, Gatt, TPP, and other trade agreements to combat their total control of economies |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71694685 United States 09/02/2016 08:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The effect is right but the cause is wrong. It is as a result of failed states and failed power structures that are losing control and become monopolistic squeezing the commons that cause a breakdown and disintegration inward that is reflected outwards as war. War is the final outcome of failed supper states controlled by bad actors struggling to maintain control at all cost. Cycle is broad Growth of a society > consolidation of means of production and creation of monopolies > Monopolies creating unfair advantage through influence and laws and finaly control of governments > companies and people of foreign countries using their influence to maintain their market share and "protect their citizenry" pass laws taxing or limiting influence of foreign monopolies > tit for tat > loss money and market share > espionage corporate and foreign influence in foreign governance > more backlash and then War |

David Cameron mentioned "'Brexit' could trigger World War Three,/WW3" and unfortunately we are heading that root. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65170533 No it doesn't. The corporation will raise prices to whatever level they can get away with, irrespective of how cheap they can make the product. I remember when they closed all the textile mills in the eastern U.S. and moved the sneaker factories overseas. They saved big money on lower cost labor, but they still charged top dollar for those Nike tennis shoes. The money they saved was NOT passed on to the consumer. |

I recognize most wars as being asinine, but fighting rather than being run over is better. Furthermore, noone wants to fight a true patriotic America. Right now I'm not convinced we're "the best" but if corruption os exposed and people held accountable, you'd better watch out. |
