"Make the Rich Panic"

[georgephillip]

Yep, because in right wing world, cities are in a bubble not related to how state/federal Gov't policies are in effect *shaking head*

Government policies have favored shareholders over displaced workers in cities like Baltimore for five decades, and there's no reason those who own the system see any reason to change.
"Yet at a moment when the debate over the president’s push for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal is one of Washington’s central battles, Baltimore is Exhibit A for why there is such frustration over how the costs of globalization and technological change have been borne almost entirely by the least advantaged people in our society.

"Baltimore and its inner suburbs were once home to the vast manufacturing facilities operated by Bethlehem Steel, General Motors and Martin Marietta, notes Thomas J. Vicino, author of Transforming Race and Class in Suburbia: Decline in Metropolitan Baltimore. In 1970, about a third of the labor force in Baltimore and its first-tier suburbs was employed in manufacturing.

"By 2000, only 7 percent of city residents had manufacturing jobs, and the losses have continued since. An awareness of this, Vicino says, should shape our understanding of what’s happening in the city now."

Baltimore is another progressive model cities failure, just like Detroit

It wasn't progressives in Baltimore who started shipping ten thousand jobs a year out of town in the late '90s. Fat cat corporatists did that.

Care to explain why they did it?

Abolish profits !!!!! Lol

 

[Wry Catcher]

How do you know that?

Now explain HOW you KNOW the rich are not panicking?
"This is called revolution. It is about ripping power away from a cabal of corporate oligarchs and returning it to the citizenry. This will happen not by appealing to corporate power but by terrifying it. And power, as we saw in Baltimore, will be terrified only when we take to the streets. There is no other way.

“'The rich are only defeated when running for their lives,' the historian C.L.R. James noted."

Chris Hedges Make the Rich Panic - Chris Hedges -Truthdig

Lmso, talk about mental masturbation, the rich has just been laying low, not investing because we have a anti business, anti investment president. Scared? Yea right, talk to me when they build 20 foot walls around there houses like they do in South Africa

Yeah, the "rich" have been stuffing the money under their mattress and the stock market more than doubled in 6 years, as the Corps are making record profits under this "anti investment" Prez. AND the US is one of the few nations not to follow conservative "austerity" and is doing much better than most of the rest of the world???

South Africa? The conservatives and their policy are trying to make US look like a 3rd world nation like Mexico or China.

But it's the policies you like that are driving business out of the country. How do you rationalize that one?

Greed. Let me be a bit more specific, GREED!

Corporation have no allegiance to the United States of America, or to the citizens of the United States of America, or to those they employ or once employed before moving overseas.

US Defense Companies Go On Overseas Offensive

Defense Contractors Are Going To Go For The Civilian Market

When, oh when have I ever said that I liked corporations? Hmmmm? I despise multinational corporations which are the very ones that the ruling elite support. I am in favor of the small local corporations. You know the ones your policies drive out of business.

My policies drive business out of business? Gee, how powerful I must be.

How do you define multinational corporations? Have you ever been to Grand Cayman? I have, and walking past an old and apparently abandoned four unit apt house I noted the names of a dozen fortune 500 Companies listed as tenants.

Why, because The Congress has decided to repay these corporations for their generosity in aiding their election or reelection. Oh, and I'd be remiss in not acknowledging the complicity of Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Kennedy and Roberts, voting to make such generosity nothing more than the corporate worlds exercise of their First Amendment Right.

Abolish profits !!!!! Lol

No, but do make sure they're paying their share of the taxes and no stealing from their workers. Profits are good but not all in the hands of a few thousand men.

 

[Wyatt earp]

[Wyatt earp]

Statist civil servants need to instate artificial price controls on compensation, goods and services !

"Protect" the proletariat !!!

 

[Roadrunner]

Bullshit! Democrats running the city since the 60's did that!

Jim Crow banks did it.

Lying fuck. Democrats did it. Baltimore and Detroit were all Democrat Model Cities starting in the late 60's. You fuckers destroyed every model city you touched

Shows what happens when capitalists abandon US cities for Chinese cities

Show what happens when the workforce has to be drawn from the ghetto.

LogikandReazon? Seems biasedandhysterical.

 

[georgephillip]

They didn't want to Buy $50 dollar blue jeans, they wanted $10 dollar ones from Walmart

When did "they" come to that conclusion, before or after capitalists shuttered fifty thousand US factories and shipped five million US jobs to China?

 

[georgephillip]

You got what you wanted, now you are FUCKING CRYING About it?

Fuck you

 

[georgephillip]

You're right, there are no Republican policies in place in Baltimore or Detroit.

For the past 50-60 years those cities are run by Democrats

How many government jobs have the Democrats shipped to China since 1970?

"This management principle, also known under value based management, states that management should first and foremost consider the interests of shareholders in its business actions.

Business wouldn't leave if they could make profit. The fact that they left is the proof they couldn't make profit that would satisfy shareholders. My question to you is still, why?

Most of our industry has been given to china by our corporations. Yet, you support them blindly? lol,lol, lol!!!!! The problem with Detroit is the people that practice a shitty culture that can't pay enough tax income to maintain the city.
