"1. The speed of new technology has outpaced the creation of new jobs; low skills manufacturing jobs have been outsourced. The result is an historically wide wage gap and an age disparity between winners and losers. New tech (like internet, cloud, robotics, and artificial intelligence) will begin to encroach on higher level jobs in law, financial services, etc. For the first time in our history technology and productivity are increasing rapidly but new jobs and income remain basically flat.
"
In what used to be most of the job market, one person can do the work of ten. What happens to the other nine ? There is not enough demand. For example TV sets are specifically designed not to be fixed. They won't sell parts or even give you an enhanced block diagram, and TVs are still a mass market even though some people are getting away from it. I law there is money, but really there are so many lawyers these days the money is not as good and it is not as attractive of a field to get into. Financial services I would not touch with a ten foot pole after what happened to KPMG. They busted those people for retroactive laws and made them sign off on attorney/client privilege. Plus they apparently create money out of nothing or else someone would have been caught with all that loot that went missing in 2008.
"2. There is a heightened skepticism that government can get anything done. "
For good reason. I want them hamstringed at every turn. Elect a democrat, have a republican congress, elect a republican have a democrat congress. The fuck everything up so the less they do the better. I'd like to outsource the government itself. Nobody here up to the task of running it right wants the job.
"3. A good number of whites fear the colorization of our population. "
There is nothing wrong with separatism. In fact, this diversity kills itself if everyone interbreeds. Then everyone is brown. Where is the diversity then ?
"1. China is emerging and pushing against American influence in the Pacific, while both economies need each other. Can America make some room for Chinese influence in the Pacific before war ensues?
"
Those problems all seem to stem from actions in the South China Sea. And that island they are building. What I wonder is if then their internationally recognized territorial waters extend because of that, and how far. The subject has not been addressed in international law. Maybe the US should make some islands. They could be quite strategic, put military bases and RADAR stations on them. And of course some F-35s if they can get of those fucking Edsels working right. But the south China sea is what, 10,000 miles away ? Ain't none of our business really.
"2. The end game in Syria is to depose the current regime preferably by diplomatic means. Russia and Iran should have a seat at the table. Diplomacy can be effective only from threatened strength. We should target Assad's palaces and war planes, tanks, etc. But we must also make Russia and Iran pay a price for their seat at the table by covertly killing off some of their assets in the area. "
That is also 10,000 miles away and we have no business sticking our nose into it. Assad was elected. Assad also did not use the gas and if he did so the fuck what ? And if any fucker here wants to talk about rigged elections, look at the choices we got here.
"3. We need to reassure our 'friends' in the area that we will not sell them out to Iran. "
What does that bullshit mean ? Iran has done nothing. In fact they have put up with Israel just because they are afraid of the US. Israel kills their people, bombs them, infects their infrastructure with Stuxnet and they do nothing in retaliation. That is because Israel has a Big Brother.
"What do you think? "
I think the guy has comments but no solutions to any of this shit. The solution to this shit STARTS with not spending a half trillion a year on killing Women and children. It is a joke to call that a defense budget. We have been attacked like what, twice since Pearl Harbor ?
And don't even count the few other times. Turns out these shooter were born here and got gun legally, and there never were any laws against pressure cookers. McVeigh wasn't one of "them" and was never on the RADAR. They just simply do not defend this country and as such should be defunded and then we will not have a standing army, as the founders of this country intended.
But it is too late now, the US has made too many enemies.
