Insight into Economics and Politics

[Ice29]

"You speak as though you have some deep insight that the rest of us lack. Trust me, we KNEW already."

This is my response.


The fact of the matter is, is that coming from the country that makes the technologies that the very small countries that are the "commonwealth of nations" use, and artificially make themselves relevant around the world in the short run, with...

I do have much greater insight into the realities of where the technology is coming from.

Which is something that I am growing quite fucking tired of...

With Australia's small population size, geography, economics, and foreign investment based economy...
It isn't a very important place if they had to pull their own weight.

And I would like it very much, if these small fry, Non-American colonial countries made of European Diaspora had to pull their own weight and make their own technology that makes their country operate.

Then maybe they would have an understanding of politics and economics and technology and the role of the government in economics and the marketplace.


Thank you.

That has nothing to do with industrialization, research and development..or social mobility in politics or economics...

 

[The Great Goose]

But we have boeing here!

That has everything to do with politics and economics.
Being the country that makes that stuff for those other countries, we're the ones with the political and economic relevance and knowledge.
And it has everything to do with our GDP and that definitely has everything to do with Industrialization because that IS industrialization, that is the definition of industrialization.

you are labouring under the misapprehension that you are communicating with a people who give a crap. We do whatever we are told. It's in our blood. And when we've had enough we walk. Which is alsoin our blood from before we were slaves.

Are you so suprised that a breed of outlaws turned slaves should not be bothered?

when the Nazi revolution happens in Europe and the christian Right revolution happens in America, you know what we'll do? Nothing.

we'll keep driving our trucks and whoring and building and farming and retailing. She'll be right mate.

we work because we have to but we'd easily not bother.

Since that is the case, maybe we should pull the plug on your little Australia business.

And with our deficit...

Where do you think we would be...

... if China quit buying our debt??

That may be, but since I don't know you, I don't care.
