Will someone over there innovate and cash in, or will it be someone external to your countries?
We've been living with that all our lives in New Orleans.....just buy a few AC units for the windows if you don't have central air....
It's not the end of the world....
Hell, I'm doubting you have the humidity to go with the heat they way we do....?
I've been hearing about all the EU folks over here for the soccer games raving about the great AC we have here everywhere in the US.
If you can't afford central air...just toss up a few window units. It doesn't cost a ton and makes summer's survivable....especially if humidity is there in the mix.
Hell I live in New Orleans...the capital of heat and humidity in the summer....get some AC and you can do just fine....we do.
"...short people got...no reason to live...."
And Fascism does not work very well either, but that does not prevent the current U.S. moving in that direction.
Not even close...not even with ultra liberal side of Democrats pushing facistic actions and promoting facist laws/rules and societal changes.
And all the while to promote facism they are using the term against anything center left to middle right as facist.....making the term meaningless over time much like they've done with nazi and racism....they've overused them so much then just have no meaning anymore.
Anything But China
American first, or anything manufactured on our shores......first.
Somebody wired up all those ICBM missile silos too
On the other hand, people might also genuinely thing their country, the people and the land is worth defending, at all costs.
I mean, c'mon....at the very least, we have "Ranch Dressiong".....you know...?
Kind of like how any economic system better for people in general is called communism.
nah....we all know that any form of economic system even resembling communism would not be good for anyone...at least not the common folks, only those at the time.
Sure, Capitalism sucks....but it sucks a whole lot less that ALL other forms of economic systems.....history has shown us this time and time again.
Countries that welcome immigrants are able to increase the tax base, and supply critical labor that locals don't want to do, including taking care of the elderly.
But you take in too many, too fast, AND if you allow those that are diametrically opposed to your values and way of life.....YOU LOSE YOUR COUNTRY.
and that's what we're seeing now across EU and trying to combat in the US.
The US solved this problem 150 years ago. First with the observation that immigrants acculturate. Second with the acceptance that elements of their culture are going to get melded in to form a new culture. Culture is never static, anyway, it always drifts and morphs. Immigration just changes it a bit faster. But it's good! This ongoing immigrant-driven culture change is what made the US a superpower. Embrace it.
Indeed is USED to work this way....and if so, sure, cool.
The trouble is...it no longer works that way, there is no more 'melting pot'.
For various reasons, one being we've let WAY too many in at once....they do not come here to become Americans and assimilate, they are here to take over and make a Mini-whatever country they came from
They segregate, they do NOT learn the language and in Muslim cases, they try to change our laws to fit their religion.
In the old days, you didn't see protests with migrants waving flags of their home land, but instead were waving the US flag....
So, no that old way isn't working....and if we don't stop the influx....we risk losing our country even more than we risk losing it right now.
Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
