Martial Law

[Picaro]

Its none of the United States' fuckin business how the Koreans run their country. The US split it in two now its time to correct that imperialist anomaly. The US should bring its 28,000 troops home so they can decamp and start working for their country to fill all the new jobs Trump will create after the mass deportation.

If they're brought home it should only be to help round up vermin like yourself and deport them.

The Folly of Free Trade

The Folly of Free Trade

Any manager who tries to create a strategy out of worn-out clichés and unexamined nostrums is dismissed. Yet in the United States and other Western countries we have grown comfortable with the government following outworn nostrums about free trade. We have elevated the economic theory of free...

hbr.org

". . . Today the evidence should be clear to anyone who wants to look at it: our blind allegiance to free trade threatens our national standard of living and our economic future. By sacrificing our home market on the altar of free trade, we are condemning ourselves and our children to a future of fewer competitive businesses, fewer good jobs, less opportunity, and a lower standard of living. These unacceptable outcomes threaten us in ways that are all related to our practice of free trade.

American business’s stake in these matters is clear. If we do not wish to live with these outcomes, then we must construct a new and effective way to think about trade that will serve the interests of both business and the nation.

Threats of Free Trade ​

As we practice it, free trade has profoundly destructive results for the United States and other Western nations. First, nations that do not play by our rules practice unequal competition. Second, free trade puts us in direct competition with low-wage nations, countries that have a lower standard of living than the United States. Third, by allowing these nations to take over big sectors of our market, we permit the permanent interruption of an important relationship between demand and supply that has been the main engine of economic growth in American history.

Unequal National Competition ​

Classical economics teaches us that free exchange works to produce the best results for all, whether the exchange takes place within one nation or across national boundaries. But this concept works only when the exchange is an equal one that occurs within a common framework of laws, customs, rules, and regulations. Economic competition conducted under the law of the jungle leads to chaos and failure. The price system becomes a guide to nothing that is sensible or tolerable.

The laissez-faire approach to economics fashionable in the United States permits distorted outcomes precisely because it neglects the essential role of rules and regulations in preventing destructive competition. When each nation creates self-serving rules, free trade across national boundaries becomes destructive—an unequal competition under inconsistent and inharmonious rules.

Most American companies facing international competition have encountered the problem. Most governments are playing a simple game: they use their myriad powers—subsidies, favorable banking practices, local content requirements, exchange control, and the like—to win jobs and gain higher incomes for their people or to achieve a favorable national balance of payments. . . .

A good time to stay off the streets at night. South Korean police are not shy with the night stick.

The site in your link probably updated to say "South Korea president backs down from martial law order after MPs vote to block it,"

[skye]

Yup....the backlash was too big so the Martial Law order was lifted.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We got nukes there.

Why would we have nukes there?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

There are dozens of great street vendors at night in Seoul.

I have heard Seoul food is good for the soul!

They moved a lot faster than our Congress would. I'm kinda jealous of that.

Please provide a link to your assertions, or else?


You have once again resorted to circular reasoning

theyre called the federalist papers,,

a straight line with two ends is not circular,,

I am going to go out on a limb and say you have a college education where you were told what to think not how to think,,,,

That’s what you don’t understand about economics. Economies are most efficient when each state can focus on what each state does best.

Letting everyone do everything for themselves is wasteful and leads to worse outcomes.

Except that the weapons the Soviets were good at making were seldom bought by paying customers

They often gave them away to clients in exchange for influence

 

[Mac-7]

Nope.

The Soviets main export was, like Russia now, petroleum products.


When the price of oil bottomed out, their system failed. It was propped up like nearly every other dictatorship.

Thats right

Libs forget the importance of Saudi Arabia in helping to crash the Soviet economy

 

[Unkotare]

why did the founders first start with the articles of confederation and why did they fail??

They failed because they were too decentralized. A case of too much of a good thing.
