Nothing to see here...

These are not the slave workers you are looking for.

Apple executives can go about their business.

Move along to the next post ..

I hope to god you are kidding.

I can't think of a single human being that should even be life extended let alone immortalized, scientifically or culturally.

Human beings are disgusting, greedy, vengeful and so far as back as recorded history, between civilizations they have destroyed, completely unaware of _all_ of their history.

It isn't practical to Boycott Apple.

What is needed is the reinstatement of Tariff's on goods, so Americans can make the products.

it is not required or nessacary for people to live like slaves for companies to make a profit.

We can have easily what we had in the 1950's, where Americans can hold one job per family, and make a living.

The only sacrifice will be that companies won't have CEO's making hundreds of billions. Just maybe a couple hundred million at most.

The rest I am afraid has to go to the workers.

This scales much better by the way as well. If only one person _has_ to work, to make ends meet, the unemployment situation will virtually fix itself over night.

Oh and one more thing. Globalism has to die. If we give that up as well as an economic policy then that is just a good thing all around. I don't want one country making one thing, and another making another thing. A single disaster in one country kills the economic market place for products that are manufactured in such a myopic scope.

Latest example I can point to this nonsense is the Hard Drive disaster and the floods in Thailand.

Another problem with globalism, which is why it must die: It is a completely failed economic policy benefitting too few. I would point out examples, but most of my audience reading this already knows them all. If you don't believe me, watch the chaos insue as these globalist bearucrats meet in Chicago this spring,

Lots of people know the story.

Everything is too centralized economically. I favor using tariffs to encourage countries to make things themselves and to be self sufficient.

This would mean the end to trans national corporations as well.

I say good riddens.

I like this quote: "It's good to know that quantum computers will be secure when they exist."

Gotta love slashdot, ya know.

First of all, if we ever get a real working quantum computer...and that is a gigantic _IF_ in caps, you can rest assured that someone will break it.

I would be very surprised if it couldn't be cracked.

Hello, while we are at it lets get rid of all the water on the earth.

It is killing US!!!

I am sure Al Gore and his Carbon Credit buy/sell market scammers can set up the same thing for water and methane.

Down with Water and Methane!!!

If you elect me for president, I will eliminate methane and water and SAVE THE EARTH.

This guy is using only 10 years of a planet that is aged in the billions of years and he calls it a undeniable trend?

He must have spent way too many years writing BLOG's and not enough time doing his Mathematics homework.

10 years is not a trend. It isn't even a moment in geologic time.

Its a pico moment. ;-)

I call B.S.

You cannot compete with slave labor.

The USAry is going to have to eventually make a decision:

1) Race to the bottom where you have super cheap crap being made, by people that make $10 an hour.

If you want to live and compete like FOXCONN employees, then thats great. We can put dorms and nets outside the buildings so people don't jump to their deaths in despair and misery working in such conditions.

Isn't that iGreat?!

2) Or Add to the equation, not just Free Markets, but Fair Trade. That means when you manufacture something, a tariff equalizes it so that Americans can go back to what they had with trade tariff's in the 1950's.

Personally, I feel the real issue is globalism. It is a broken idea, and as we are watching, Globalism makes it efficient to redistribute the profits by centralizing them in a few companies, and therefore a few hands.

Instead of many small manufacturing firms of lawn mowers for example, you have one or two, and the people on these boards and share holders get to take in all of the profit. The idea is of course, that this creates billion and trillionaires.

With a large diverse market, minus globalism you just get 1 or two billionaires, but a whole ton more millionaires.

Also, I would like to point out, this globalism is the main reason why countries are going broke. The entities that have been created by Globalism largely don't pay any taxes.

In short, just my opinion, everything has just got too big, and too unwielding. I am hopeful that people will come to their senses and dismantal globalism so we can return to lots of small voices in the farming industry for example. Not just 2 or 3 large industrial farming corporations.

Which, if you can't see the danger of _just_ one or two companies doing all the farming, well, I am wasting my time anyway.

But really. Globalism is just too big. It needs to be dismantled into manageable parts so that Democracy can digest the issues.

Globalism generates issues way to big for the differing cultures and democracies to handle.

Unless of course, you plan on creating a world government. For that too happen we need a gigantic war to destroy most of the West and everyone who thinks like I do.
(Well, a War, or maybe a nice virus or maybe just put something in the food and water...which since only a few companies are marking the majority of the food, would probably be fairly easy to do. If not now, it certainly gets easier by the day.)

I will leave that to you if you think that is happening.

I don't understand.

We have many of our elections being counted in secret.

We have foreign companies now counting our votes.

We have voting machines, with no way to track votes counting our votes.

What is the result?

A bunch of people that pass Patriot ACT, SOPA and NDAA, TSA. (Sorry the list is too long now...)

Suprise!

Only complete idiots would be thinking about how to use a political system that gave them the above to somehow expect the very same system will stop stop these evil people, and I do mean _evil_ people.

You people are morons, and future generations are going to look back at how Mud Huts everyone is living in got into vogue, and curse you all.

GMO is not about making plants that produce more, or are resistant to cold or heat or drought.

It is the control of the food supply, that is what it is about.

Ask any Biologist, and they will tell you, genetically creating strains of identical plant lines to maximize a trait is a truly dangerous thing to do. Whenever you take and engineer biological entities such as plants, that are gentically identical and create entire artificial eco systems that have low diversity, or in the case of GMO, _NO_ diversity, all sorts of catastrophic destruction can happen to the population.

Whether it be a GERM, a BUG or BAD WEATHER, having a food supply that is genetically diverse and NOT engineered is the safest and will produce the most food, consistently over a wide variety of environmental conditions.

GMO has got to be the worst possible idea of all time. It won't produce food for anyone except the rich, and it will not produce food that has the ecological diversity requirements to provide a safe consistent yield.

It isn't by accident you know, they will not put GMO labels on food. They know it is not safe, and they do not want you to know about it.

GMO also is causing massive extinction rates in our grain crops from gene contamination. If this isn't stopped, there won't be any grain species left that are safe to eat.
