Don't blame ya one bit for running away :2wave:You are not a serious person. Understood. You cannot prove your assertions. I knew that before we started. You can be safely disregarded.
.So you don't mind being exploited? You don't mind those jobs being essentially held hostage in exchange for a company sucking wealth out of the country? American workers would do a whole lot better with a different company that held some loyalty to its employees and country. I'm sure the free market could find one to fill the void, couldn't it?
...and beyond death..
How am I being exploited? You don't like what a company is doing, don't buy their product. Period.
You better worry more about being exploited my our government. They can write all kinds of laws to exploit you to death.

"Only someone who has no appreciation for liberty or freedom could call for such a thing."
We agree. Totalitarians do, in fact, do it all the time. Totalitarians are a vile lot.
They were shaken down by a very evil government. One led by a Marxist totalitarian.
Who were the victims? How did an oil spill in the gulf caused by the US government's policies create all of these millions of victims? Why do you believe it was acceptable for the US government to act as a corrupt criminal enterprise?
Is this "stream of consciousness" typing? What point were you trying to make?
When you get excited you really do begin to babble. Do you realize this?
I see. And the totalitarian in you rejoices because the US government has become far more dangerous to the people than any historical criminal enterprise? Awesome.
Freedom, to a totalitarian, is bull ****. Got it. In fact I think it sums up the reason why people like you must be hated and reviled by all reasonable people. Do you agree?
Fascism is an ugly thing. You are a fascist and your government is fascistic. Totalitarianism is so ugly and repulsive.
I need a translation into American English, please.And the State of the People rules the corp every day and time.
Yes. The radical environmentalists who live inside our totalitarian government infrastructure prevented oil companies from drilling in the shallower waters closer to the shore. Forcing oil companies to drill in far deeper waters is the root cause of the spill. It is far riskier to drill in deep waters than drilling in shallow waters or on land.the gulf spill created by the Gov?
I am sure you can point to trials and convictions of regulators and their corresponding criminals in the pay of oil companies.You mean the regulators that were bribed and paid off by corrupt BP?
Are you familiar with how testing works? Tests begin with requirements. Tests are used to ensure that requirements have been met. For any requirement there may be dozens of alternative ways to determine that the requirement has been met.Or the moronic BP drilling engineers that skipped about 10 tests or safety items that lead to disaster?
Really? The full story, if it exists at all is probably hundreds of thousands of pages of materials.I read the full story about BP.
A deep water test is probably way more than a quarter of a million dollars. This indicates that your "full story" was probably a few paragraphs from an anti-oil left wing website.100% of the fault is with them. If they had paid ~ $250,000 in
tests and proper equipment, like battery's for the blowout preventer, they would not have lost billions.

I agree it is madness. Marxist environmentalist madness. It is people like you who sow chaos wherever you go.Just when you thought you heard every kooky rightwing theory to absolve corporations for irresponsible behavior and blame people who try to make the world better, you read this bit of madness.
This is one of the most self-absorbed analysis I've ever seen. US might be a 14 trillion economy and a large market but this fails in basic business analysis. Fast Food industry in the US accounts for $195 billion (projection for 2014). Fast Food industry in the US come 2018 is projected to be $210 billion. So for 4 years you will average growth $3.75 billion per year. That $3.75 billion is gonna be split by close to 50 chains around the country. That's less then $100m in growth over 4 years. That's piss poor.
So if you are a fast food service, you've already taped out the US market. There is no future growth possibilities without massive front end costs (i.e. Marketing) and you are competing with other competitors. So to any business looking to expand it's growth, they seek not the US market but China, India, and Africa markets in which instead of reaching 300m possible customers (obviously some repeats) you are seeking 3 billion customers in China, India and Africa.
So a sound business plan is consolidate with another firm (Tim Hortons in this case), move HQ to a low corporate tax rate to off set front end costs in expanding in China, India and Africa.
I agree it is madness. Marxist environmentalist madness. It is people like you who sow chaos wherever you go.
Not really sure how your post is connected to mine. You seem to be talking about growth strategies for a company that already has access to US markets.
The Sierra Club is a radical environmental organization. It is the new home of the former communists, Marxists, Progressives, liberals, fascists and statists. It is just one more totalitarian-left organization.What a comeback! Next you'll be calling for HUAC to investigate the Sierra Club.

A member huh? I am not surprised.You've lived up to my expectations.
No, I am pointing out US market is small beans in the world market. When the world is 7 billion. US is just 4.44% of the world population. So why would a company limit itself to the US market by HQing in the US, pay higher US taxes for small beans?
I agree it is madness. Marxist environmentalist madness. It is people like you who sow chaos wherever you go.
It's failing as a libertarian (almost anarchist) state also.
Which only proves that the best answer is rarely going to be at the extreme. Moderation is key to virtually all success.

....you do realize what he said (well, perhaps except for the hyperbole about the government being totalitarian) is in fact accurate? Environmentalists did push oil companies out to the very edge of possible drilling, increasing the actual risk of spillage.
First, no it isn't true.
Second, it wasn't environmentalists but democracy -- you know, you elect people and pass laws.
Third, deep water drilling isn't a license for negligence.
Finally, he said a lot more than that -- he said the Sierra Club was a Marxist organization. Stoooopid. And here you are, defending such stupidity.
I said the Sierra Club is the new home for Marxists, socialists, Progressives, liberals, statists, no-growthers, every wrongheaded person...First, no it isn't true.

You know I am right.

Yes, it is. Rigs in the skyline are all icky and stuff, so put a so-many-miles ban on them so they have to be way out there. :roll: idiocy. But then, no one ever accused these people of foresight or consistency.
That's interesting. So you believe that environmentalists do not play any role in our government?
True. Neither is playing pro football. But you are much more likely to get injured in the NFL than you are working as an accountant, and you are much more likely to have a serious problem deep water drilling than shallow water drilling.
:shrug: I agreed his language was hyperbolic and pointed out only that his point about the oil companies being pushed way offshore by the people who supposedly wanted to Protect The Shoreline was correct.
So by "environmentalists" you meant the voting public
