Managing a contracting economy

B: She'll find another mother in the neighborhood, and have a trade off. She'll watch their kids once. They'll watch her kids once. And pay zero.

Why didnt she do that?

She did. That was her whole post. Was that the cost of babysitting was too high, so she simply didn't hire babysitters anymore. She either didn't go out, or she found someone to do a swap with.

New drugs are being killed off, because the government regulations and price controls, make creating new profitable drugs almost impossible.

In that case the hated Big Pharma does not have the influence libs accuse it of

I think government is capable of milling the golden goose through incompetence

but if all US drug companies go out of business china will pick up the slack

its almost as if lefties are working with china against their own country

Of course no companies have the infinite influence the left-wing socialists claim it does.

Socialists have to make up reasons to attack business. They don't have any logical position for their policies, and thus making up fictions is all they have.

None of the companies have nearly as much influence as the left-wing claims.

But whomever they sold to, would have the same ability. If they sold to Vietnam, Vietnam would sell it to the US. Or anyone else.

If they get caught they will be blacklisted

Which again, would end up everyone, which means they wouldn't sell any goods, which would be the death of their economy.

Not going to work. Didn't for OPEC in the 70s. Won't work now either.

Actually I the huffpo babe was lying her ass off

I suspect she just want to make argument look stronger

Yes, manufacturing in America will cost more

but supporting unemployed workers is money out of consumers pockets also

Not true. My sister did the same thing. When she and her husband wanted to go out, they just swapped with other people, because the cost of having a teenager watch kids watching TV, was way too much to be worth it.

So she just swapped with another couple a couple times a year. Usually the anniversary.

If the price of the product, is too high to justify the cost, then people simply do without. I stopped going to Chipotle, and now I typically have a hot dog, or something else cheap.

Just because the price goes up everywhere, doesn't mean people are still going to buy it.

That's the mythology of the Unions. Where if we have a monopoly on labor prices, then everyone will simply pay the higher price, and the union people will all earn $80/hour.

Well that's not how life works. This is why there is a massive shadow economy. If you don't know what shadow economy is, is the people who do work off the books, to earn money, when the wage prices are too high.

The NYC union attempt on car-wash workers had this effect. Instead many car washes closed, and those former employees started operating car washes on the back streets.

Of course they charged a much lower price, than the Unions labor, but in order to do that it had to be off the books.

Not having a cheaper option, does not make a too expensive option, suddenly practical. If the product is too expensive to make in the US, eliminating cheaper alternatives, doesn't make too expensive to make in US magically not expensive anymore.

It will still be too expensive to make in the US, and thus either won't be, or it will be made by automation, to eliminate the labor cost.

Either way, the outcome doesn't change.

Russia by the way, is living this out. The sanctions on trade with Russia didn't cause all the products that were too expensive to be made in Russia, suddenly practical. If the Union claims worked, then Russia should be in an economic explosion right now of manufacturing, high wages, and wealth.

Instead the opposite has happened. Stuff that couldn't be made affordably in Russia, now simply is not available in Russia.

I have drifted into absolutes

I dont mean to stop all trade with other countries, and hopefully you are not advocating no limit on chinese made products to the US market

I want to severely limit trade with china but not entirely limit low priced goods from other countries

getting back to pharmaceuticals we need a national trade policy that eliminates china entirely from our supply chain and moves most production back to the US

that makes so much sense I cant believe you are against it

Since you live in "The Great State of Tex-ass" didn't leaving things alone afford you in paying the HOLLY SHIT property tax rate.

I live in Texas- we don't have a personal income tax- thanks for the concern. Politicians are politicians and there are Districts of Criminals all over the Country-

Neither does Nevada. No business tax either. Our property taxes are 250% less than yours. What gives?

Our property taxes are 250% less than yours.

The government pays you for your property? Nice!!

No, that would be big box stores.

Liberal economists have the answer.
They only write checks for percentage signs.
Never real money.

We were discussing tax rate, but since you asked; 10,000.00/yr.

In Tax-ass you pay $36,000.00/yr for the same property.

In "high tax" California, you pay $20,000.00/yr.

[ESay]

How much would I pay at 250% less?

Is it possible to pay 250% less? 250% from 100 000 is 250 000. 100000 - 250000 = -150000. That makes it nonsense.
