It sounds good, just like building a better longer lasting product that can be repaired at a reasonable cost instead of throwing everything away when it breaks. Unfortunately, this involves tearing down and completely revamping the entire financial system and doing away with the stock market.

When you're a profit driven company that has to answer to shareholders, there's only so many different places you can reduce cost to increase profit, and most of it is geared towards cutting production cost, which often gets shifted to the individual busting their ass on the production line. Its as clear as night and day that this has been going on in long-time capitalist countries of the world, particularly in the US, where your average production worker barely makes enough to support themselves, much less a family. The cost of everything goes up and wages stagnate while employers keep expecting more and more from their workers.
Agreed — no reason to blame consumers/workers when corporations yield soooo much more power.
 
The morale of the story: you can do whatever you want if you apologise right after.
Merry Christmas! :toast:
 
Put 30 percent tariffs on everything coming from China. That way you'll only buy essential goods that are very necessary from the country. Nobody should be sending money to a regime planning war against its neighbor.
 
Sorry Matt Leblanc GIF
 
The worst 2 countries in the world, unfortunately citizens are not to blame their awful governments are.
It all depends on how deeply indoctrinated those peoples are.
Both appear pretty jingoistic in my opinion.

That's pretty much what we are doing right now.

And then you find out that the "govt" is essentially paid for by the same companies importing these goods :slap:

I'm betting the biggest companies "exporting" to the US are Apple, Walmart, Amazon, HP, Dell et al.

You know this is how modern day capitalism works, right?
 
probably everyone on this planet has something in their house that is made in china, now that is world domination.

Depends on where you live, pretty sure we have millions, at or below poverty line, who can't "afford" made in China.
