In The US It's Looking A More Like China ----

It looks like big business will quit outsourcing jobs when we look a lot more like China or Mexico when it comes to pay.
Low wages for the masses. Huge profits and wealth for the 1%. And the GOP is on their side.

I wonder why Christmas sales looked so flat.

living, bare essentials for survival, company stores AKA Walmart, lots of poverty and sickness. Ain't America great! And this will continue until enough people wake up and say fuck the system. ... but I fear it will be a very very long wait. ... we have the boiling frog syndrome.

They insist the only way for America to prosper is to dismantle the entire social safety net, privatize the military, schools, roads, fire, police end regulations of any kind, and stop paying taxes for food, farms, higher education, anything else you can imagine.

Their solution is always that without any taxes or regulations each person would be able to buy all of those things on their own. And that America would be able to be prosperous and free, and no laws restricting anything (some seem to have a soft spot for restricting abortion, though).

Those who for whatever reason cannot make ends meet, can go to the church or their family. As for those who that doesn't work, well, fuggit.
