[cheguevara]

well the fucked up thing is china packs most of the waste and a lot of it is toxic waste into humongous ships. then the ships get to around mid-pacific. and then they dump all that shit .

A lot of South America's west coast is feeling the pain from this.

and man-made waste islands are being created:

Apple's Chinese Suppliers Accused of Causing Significant Environmental Damage

"Environmental watchdog groups in China on Wednesday released a report detailing a 5-month investigation on electronic suppliers (http://www.scribd.com/doc/63637255/Apple-II-Final-20-14) that they believe are used by Apple. According to the report, accessory manufacturer Kaedar Electronics and printed circuit board maker Unimicron have allegedly been discharging waste water and harmful gas from their plants (http://www.itworld.com/data-centerservers/198771/apple-suppliers-accused-environmental-damage) in the Chinese city of Kunshan. The report claims that over a 10-year period, 'many people have fallen sick, with a sharp increase in the village's cancer rates.' Since 2007, more than nine people have suffered or died from cancer in the village, which has a population of fewer than 60. Apple declined to say if the companies named were in fact its suppliers, but company spokeswoman Carolyn Wu, responding to the report, said, 'Apple is committed to driving the highest standards of social responsibility throughout our supply base.'"

"Is China to the Left or Right of the United States politically"

China is where the VRWC wants the UCA to be. Politics, left or right, is not the question. the objective is govt doing the bidding of/being paid by UCA to run America in authoritarian/police-state/no-dissent-allowed/everybody's-a-suspet, for the greatest good for the fewest number.

China go their with their Communist scam, while America is going there with its VRWC/capitalist/free-market/all-govt-is-bad scam.

The objective is the amassing of wealth, power, privilege, unassailable control, no matter what the political scam used to achieve it.

I agree with you, but B was arguing that the "VRWC", in arguing AGAINST Big Government, was attempting to make the U.S. like China. Non Sequitor, IMO.

[boutons_deux]

I never said VRWC is against govt.

VRWC is against any govt that is not compromised by the VRWC.

So VRWC LOVES the current govt since that govt is fully compromised to enrich/protect VRWC and to fuck everybody else.

Govt isn't the problem for VRWC.

Govt that is a true countervailing power to VRWC is their problem

That's why America and H-A's are so fucked and unfuckable because the VRWC+govt power center has so much power it can't be defeated, and power is never yielded without violence.

Don't really think that what he calls the "VRWC" cares about size of government, IMO. As long as they're allowed to influence it, the size is kind of immaterial.

There is next to no accountability on the part of any individual company when it comes to paying the costs for their pollution produced from their products.

China at a Tipping Point

http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2011/08/img/chiner_onpage.jpg

The scale and pace of China’s economic development has indeed been remarkable by any standards. China has experienced average annual growth rates of 10 percent for more than 30 years, and it is now the world’s second largest economy. On some projections, it may overtake the United States in terms of purchasing power parities as early as 2016. China is also the world’s largest exporter, having usurped Germany’s top spot in 2010, and holds the biggest share of foreign exchange reserves.

Yet these achievements do not appear to have led to a sense of complacency on the part of the Chinese leadership, who are concerned about how to create a sustainable model of growth.

To a certain extent this rebalancing process has already begun. Some experts are predicting that China’s trade surplus will fall to less than 2 percent of GDP in 2011, a significant drop from its peak of 9 percent in 2007. While investment levels remain very high (having increased to nearly 50 percent as a share of GDP in 2010-11 from around 42 percent in 2008), they should fall as the $586 billion stimulus package that was rolled out in 2008 in response to the financial crisis is brought to an end. Rising levels of real wages should also help to increase consumption.

I see ElNono cobbled together a couple quotes after yours.

Guess this is directed to me anyway.

Self regulation is the idea when the owner has a vested interest, as when the area is his own. You all know I am not a libertarian who advocates anarchy, which is what you have when you allow no control over others. Laws an regulation are needed. How many times have I pointed out the necessity that my idea of libertarianism extends as far as one wishes, until it infringes upon others.

Polluting property not yours is definitely an infringement upon others.

When I point out these necessary evils to avoid anarchy, you guys like to call me authoritarian.

I keep shaking my head, wondering, will you ever understand.

[RandomGuy]

Parker2112, for starters.

His position is that of Ron Paul's. Get rid of any government oversight, and let motivated groups of individual sue any companies that get out of line or do something nasty.

I will try to dig up the thread where he argues this. I find it a rather bizarre belief system.

Apple is in your hated, over-regulated, but somehow extremely wealthy California.

And sure, the VRWC/UCA knew exactly what they were doing when the pushed the free trade/globalization agenda. It wasn't good for the foreign countries (eg, ask MX farmers about the price of corn), and clearly wasn't good for the Human-Americans' good jobs.

[MannyIsGod]

By their nature all environmental regulations make it more expensive for corporations and thereby hurt job growth. So if you're stipulation for regulations is that they not hurt job growth then you're not in favor of any environmental regulations that are actually necessary. Any regulation that does not make it more expensive for a corporation is likely not needed as the corporation would take the cheaper route already.

[boutons_deux]

Regs protecting workers and the environment internalize the costs.

No regs externalize the costs of UCA damage to workers and environment.

are superior to what is currently available on the market today. 4. And finally to maintain a constant
commitment to buy all of our raw materials from other local, and non-local but still American
companies every chance we get! In this great country of ours I saw a growing number of our
American companies closing their doors, or shipping American jobs over seas to mainly China
& India. And, being that I am not a politician, and do not have the power to change that over
all trend. I decided that what I can do at the very least is open the doors of the “Made In America
General Store”, and whole heartedly abide by the basic principles that I mentioned above. We are
based in the small town of Owego, New York. A town which was ravaged by massive flooding, in
2011. Where hundreds of people lost their homes, and jobs due to that flood. As our newly formed
company grows I hope to put as many of those people back to work as I possibly can. And with
the help of our loyal and satisfied customers, I am confident this is an attainable goal!

Hometown USA Stores was founded in 2010 by businessman and entrepreneur, Todd Scaccia. Our goal is to open a chain of department stores that sells only products Made in America, including American made flags, American made clothing, and American made toys. We believe that given the choice, most Americans would choose to buy products Made in America over imported products.

Every hometown in America needs a Hometown USA Store. We are looking for business-minded people, investors, entrepreneurs and employees in order to open Hometown USA Stores all across the country. We cannot do it without your help! America was built by small businesses and we are doing our part to keep the American Dream alive. Together we can make a difference!

The first Hometown USA Store is located at 3565 US Highway 20 Nassau, NY 12123, conveniently located half way between Albany, New York and Pittsfield, Massachusetts. In order to grow into this 14,000 square foot facility, we are currently seeking American vendors of all kinds, retail employees, and investors.

ABC World News recently conducted an experiment to see if they could furnish a typical suburban American home with only Made-in-USA household products. It took some doing, but in the end they stocked the house with a wide array of American-made goods.

This "Made in America" movement continues to grow, and thankfully ABC World News' investigation shows it's possible to fully embrace the American-made effort.

Todd Scaccia, of Nassau, New York, says he is taking things a step further. He has opened Hometown USA Store, which sells only American-made products. His real goal is to become the first chain store in the country selling only "Made in USA" items.

Scaccia's 11,500-square foor store is already assembling a diverse assortment of great American products, everything from toy Slinkies and Zippo lighters, to Darn Tough socks and Texas Jeans, to Buck knives and Eppinger lures.

Scaccia wants to keep increasing his inventory, though, and is hoping that ManufactureThis readers will visit his website to contact him with more brand name suggestions.

Scaccia would like to eventually launch the first All-American-made department store, which will be located in an adjoining 29,000-square foot warehouse.

Visit Hometown USA Store to help them stock their inventory with more American-made products.

I get what you are saying, but you specifically targeted Walmart. Their major competitors sell mostly the same products too. You can buy American made products in Walmart. They do have them you know...

Most stores can't. Why are you targeting only Walmart? They by no means have a monopoly on Chinese goods.

[Latarian Milton]

walmart ain't the only retailing corp that sells chinese made bads in the US but they have almost monopolized the retailing business in US and maybe around the world as well. their retailing network gives chinese products protection from anti-dumping duty, which would otherwise tax the shit out of these fuckheads tbh. the question is not whether wal-mart will survive w/o china, even if there was no wal-mart the chinks would find other US retailers to help them invade the US economically, the question is if the chink's would've made such a great fortune over only 20yrs something w/o wal-mart or any other american retailer acting as their accomplices tbh

Interesting.

I fire alarm goes off... the fire system works... managers order employees to stay saying it's a test, and it Walmarts fault?

My God Boutons. Are you really that brainwashed?

No answer?

Tell me how would Walmarts shelves look if you left only American made products on them?

How would most stores look if you applied the same criteria to them?

I ask again...

Why are you only targeting Walmart?
