AR/134; it’s as gnarly as anything gets –the choice in your last para is nothing new tho –it usually can’t be made by anything except war –at least a trade war if not a shooting war. “Beggar thy neighbor” is only a partial decription, it should read “beggar the neighbor before thy citizens” –but even that’s partial, it should be “beggar thy neighbor before thy citizens and send thy citizens to war”.

Meanwhile, guess how much of our SP500′s profits come from ‘ROW’ –the ‘rest of the world’? Half. fifty percent. point five. So, you could say that Fortress America will begin by unemploying half the workforce of the nation’s five hundred largest companies (and that’s not to count the foreign sales of the rest of American sales & service).

I’m sure the solution is buried deep in the locked desk drawers of the far left academy, and i’m sure it involves lowering American labor costs by updating the traditional solution –slave labor, communist-style means gulag the boojwahzee. after all, that’s the system that built the ancient empires, and it was not without benefit for the slaves –their labor made them too valuable to kill off.
