Notes on Trump : Comments

By Arthur Dent, published 23/1/2017

So the result in two years could be that the US has shifted from a two party system in which both parties support globalism to a two party system in which both parties oppose globalism.

Good and interesting article.

The left needs to *understand* the economic calculation argument.

Either the left continues to stand for the governmental violation of freedom and property, or it doesn't. Either way it has no future except, as now, in appealing to the greed and hate of the ignorant, provoking dysfunctional anti-social conflict at every turn.

Emperor Julian
Ho hum, more mindless bigotted hate speech from the leftards.

Slavery means non-consensual relations you fool - you know, what you think is the basis of morality and the good society?

You need to learn about the labour theory of value, the theory of marginal utlity, and the discount for futurity. At present, you literally don't understand what you're talking about, and are unknowingly squarking economic theory that was refuted in the 1870s.

You are contradicting yourself about women's rights. According to your theory of ethics and jurisprudence, a right is whatever the government says it is, remember?
Either way, you must lose, as proved not by my opinion, but by your self-contradiction. You don't agree with yourself.

And you agree that anyone has a right to kill you, on the ground that you are just a cluster of cells, and have a subhuman undeveloped personality, as determined by those who think it's okay to kill you. Right?

And you agree that tax, the governmental funding of abortion, and compulsory child support should be abolished, because "my body, my choice"?

Yes?

You agree with that, don't you?

Or not?

Which is it?

Slave trade? That's one genie no going back in the bottle! And for three reasons? The price and the price gouged profit margins available to the middlemen profit takers who impose themselves between the manufacturer and the buyer!

Then hit the gullible, with a 200% markup?

Last but not least is the internet and our ability to bypass the non productive parasitical middlemen, or drones and tax avoiding leaners! And often same diff!?

Look, if globalization is an actual problem? It's only because our "leaders" haven't the gumption (brains they were born with) to accept, we can do something else beside lay down and beg for a tummy rub?

We need to resuscitate our manufacturing and processing/value adding sector!

And that's very doable, as is positioning this nation to compete in the global market place for market share and with the so called emerging economies!

We need Thorium and rolled out as the worlds cheapest energy! Either as public amenity or private but competing co-ops! And couple that to a stand alone and unavoidable, world's lowest tax system, plus completely rationalized government and government service, to entirely eliminate waste and unnecessary cost!

Which when done, will make our economy able to compete for market share with anyone! And on a hitherto, unimaginable scale!

Rather than mindlessly blaming globalism, we need to remain cognizant of the facts?

Arguably, that it's only incompetent leadership that has strangled industry and trade in this country!

And in so doing has made us into a beggar economy almost totally dependent on control orientated (Blood sucking, tax avoiding, profit repatriating, parasitical) foreign investors!

It's not globalism that has created the raft of economic problems and exponentially expanding domestic and foreign debt; but mindless mantras and forged in hell, steely ideological imperatives!

And the rigid, rock hard, recalcitrant (knock knock, nobody home) numskulls who are welded to them!

Enlightenment begins with a brick to the head? (Buddha) Perhaps they'll then realize, it's not all about them? But don't hold your breath!

Here is something interesting;
Thrump has been holding meetings with the political leaders of both
houses in the White House.
This apparently is a major deviation from previous practise.
A photo of one of the meetings reminded me of UK cabinet meetings.
Obviously this may only be a once or twice shot but if it keeps
happening will it mean that Trump is leaning towards a Westminister
style of government ?
