    Let's let them dump their pollution here since pollution doesn't matter in exchange for cancelling our debt.

    ... Or did I just steal Rick Perry's ace in the hole?

    well the ed 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 .

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

    and man-made waste islands are being created:

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

    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 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 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.

    If we take power from the government, how does it have the power to wield to enrich its friends?

    That's a big if. I would say almost unrealistically/unlikely big.

    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.

    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 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 ed and un able 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.

    Self-absorbed Americans turning this into an intellectual discussion about capitalism, government, and some other that's probably over my head.
    Nary a tear shed for those poor Chinese people.

    You can't help the Chinese people if you don't attack the root issue, such as government, etc.

    "Nary a tear shed for those poor Chinese people."

    Human-Americans don't even shed a tear for those poor H-As that are living in poverty, 25M who can't find a job, millions of middle-class Americans who are losing their homes and comfortable lifestyles as their savings are spent, are falling into financial, housing, food insecurity.

    au contraire, the VRWC/Repugs/conservatives coupabalize/criminalize "losers" as cheaters, parasites, fakers.


    United We Stand, Divided We Fall

    now means

    "VRWC/UCA is united, and divides and fells Human-Americans"

    I get that and I agree 100%. It just struck me that there wasn't an even "that sucks" uttered. And I'm just as guilty.

    Honestly, I don't know what you're talking about half the time. Maybe you defined it earlier but I don't know what your acronyms, "VRWC" or "UCA" stand for. And the implication behind your phrase "Human-Americans" eludes me as well.

    Oh, I get it now. You just like to complain about everything. And are maybe a little off your rocker.

    Thanks.

    IF (capitilized) there is a conspiracy going on, you're short sighted to think it's limited to the Right Wing and the corporations. THEY'RE surely smart enough to know that people will think that. So IF there is a conspiracy, it's probably so complicated that you're not going to ever know about it.

    But in any event, I'm looking forward to finally getting to the new Fall season of TV shows.
