    Donald Trump risks China rift with Taiwan call

    My Point? I think my point is, if I were to be completely candid, is that I am feeling increasing dismay about the glacial pace of human evolution. When I read posts like yours, the gloom deepens. Here we have the "history prof", tossing out terms like spanking other nations, kicking ass, hey...

    Donald Trump risks China rift with Taiwan call

    Ah yes, I remember now, the intellectual with degrees up the wall, and endless reading under his belt. Yet, you prefer to write like a young lad with an attitude, and little else in identifiable attributes. Just a hobby I guess.... a false persona, just for fun? Many in China do consider...

    US living through 'greatest jobs theft' of world: Donald Trump

    How long could the US keep aircraft construction methods a secret? All industrial nations have moved up the ladder from simple to complex production, and no doubt China will take its place at the table. But I agree though, corporations are global in their outlook today, and profit tends to...

    Donald Trump risks China rift with Taiwan call

    Really? How many of his supporters do you think believed a wall was on the way, quite literally, and how many do you think deportations were imminent? And when neither occur, as is now extremely likely, what do you think their response will be?

    Donald Trump risks China rift with Taiwan call

    You don't do "counterfactuals", and I suspect you don't do reading either. If you did, you might come to the conclusion that although Americans might see the Chinese posture towards Taiwan as aggressive, the Chinese see it the other way around. International relations are not the same as...

    US living through 'greatest jobs theft' of world: Donald Trump

    It is pretty much the opposite in the case of this administration. It will be the extension of elitist policies and the lack of public programs that trickles into the consciousness of rustbelt workers as they realize they have been had by a showman. More than a trickle, in my estimation, it will...

    Tell me how America is going to influence it.

    US living through 'greatest jobs theft' of world: Donald Trump

    They want to "make stuff here again". OK, how is that going to work? Corporations delegate labour to low income countries, or else to low cost software solutions. Short of running the country along the lines of Communist China, how are you going to change policy to "bring back" millions of low...

    Donald Trump risks China rift with Taiwan call

    The problem comes in when those you oppose consider themselves the big boys in the room, or perhaps don't but resent the fact you are, feel you need to watch out for their culture, and their way of doing things. The real need here is to not consider yourself a boy at all, but an adult who has a...

    Donald Trump risks China rift with Taiwan call

    China sees things slightly differently, with some justification. Whether one agrees with such justifications or not, it is beyond reckless to stumble about in the world of international relations without a clue of past history or recent protocols. Diplomats spend years in study in order to...

    US living through 'greatest jobs theft' of world: Donald Trump

    Just one problem with the vote of your rust belt whites- they voted for nothing. They merely registered a protest that probably felt good at the time, but will earn them zip. They were (justifiably) angry at being left behind the the transforming economy, but America will never be made great...

    Donald Trump risks China rift with Taiwan call

    The implications could be quite dire, as for one thing the Chinese are dead serious about thinking this is a rebel province, no matter the counter-arguments. For another, the US no longer has the conventional military power to simply ensure a favored outcome of any showdown over Taiwan. They did...

    "An extinction-level event for American labor [unions]"

    I think that may be the weakest reply I have seen yet on these pages, which is saying something. 60,000 People huh? And where do you think they would be working without Trump? Or do you think they would be mooning around, slumped outside the Trump Tower, waiting for their leader to return and...

    "An extinction-level event for American labor [unions]"

    Yes, well thank you, you are making your personal political convictions clear at this point, you favour authoritarianism, and assume a strong man will do just what you imagine he will do if given free reign. Imagine is the key word here. No, it wasn't all about unions, but it most definitely...

    "An extinction-level event for American labor [unions]"

    Seniority systems are an (imperfect) method of ensuring justice in the workplace. Without it, workers would lose power over their work and security, by the placement of absolute authority in the hands of management. Whether one keeps his job, or is promoted, or sees pay cuts or increases would...
