if welfare pays more than a low paying job there is a problem
The best path to assimilation is work
And it shoudnt but that is not an argument for its abolishment
no but it is an example of how groups will not assimilate in large numbers
And something I noticed is in the idea of free trade
Nobody talks about reciprocity
how so?
Should we do free trade with china?
We allow them to buy land, companies etc.
They dont return the favour
It depends
I say we should prioritise trading If the laws are the same
you have to make markets in your own country competitve first through deregulation before you can have free trade
If you trade with protectionists without concetions you look like a sucker
Chinese gov is reportedly cracking down on overseas investment at the moment, funnily enough
not suprising
Has anyone tried just sucking more dicks? "Drained balls are good for all" my uncle used to say
Also
It irked me for a while. Just wanted to get the idea out there
The US acquirers do their utmost to stay out of the headlines. They prefer to shop quietly, without competitors finding out. This does a lot to keep prices down and give these US buyers maximum negotiating leverage. A lot of these US acquisitions in China stay secret long after they close.
Contrast this style with that of Chinese investors in the US. Most end up bidding against one another for the same assets. *Overpaying has become a hallmark of Chinese purchases in the US*.
China still can confiscate those properties
So can other countries 🤷
It's something half the politicians in this country run on
"Der Chinese are stealing our land! we gotta take it BACK!"
Libertarianism is as utopian as socialism
Not to hold up as an Ideal
I think the utopia comes when you go into Anarchy
"Ancap" And "AnCoM"
And some of them definetly go in there
Like the idea of private roads
as long as you are working within the existing systems
I am looking forward to my Filipino child slaves
Privatized Nukes FTW
Private police. I can protect myself
Private courts
Free Market of Laws
Private millitary
Buy one law, Get two free
Lets go full Rome here mates
