Let's see American companies shipping good middle class jobs to Mexico.
American
companies in sourcing H1B's to replace good paying hi-tech jobs
and forcing their American counterparts to train them.
American
companies and businesses with the full imprimatur of a lawless federal
government, importing and employing millions upon millions of
foreigners, mostly Mexican in low paying jobs squeezing out our
indigenous labor pools on the lower socio-economic strata.
Every strata of the economic strata except the very very rich and the very very poor being squeezed.
And a FED that is running out of tricks to keep the plates spinning and the EBT checks flowing.
Shit's going to get real interesting real soon.

I have to admit that I do not know the reasons why Carrier is doing what they are doing.
If I were a typical Bernardo Sandino supporter I'd shout "greed" and "capitalism."
Since I am a free market, liberty loving American, I'd say what regulatory burden and insane union regulations and fees have the government and organized labor shackled Carrier with that brought them to this decision?
Get rid of those and maybe those 1,400 jobs would never leave and you'd lay the foundation for Carrier to hire more and real Americans right here in the USA.

Schlock was what made his pictures worth watching. Anyone who went to one of his movies in search of Oscar-worthy performances, good scripts or production values was wasting their time, and everyone knew it.
Can you imagine Steven Spielberg making "Death Race 2000"? Instead of being amusing and occasionally funny -- it WAS Stallone's best film, IMO -- it would have been dull, pretentious and predictable.
And it would have cost at least 20X as much to make.

At the risk of opening up a couple of big cans of worms, you have to wonder why union rank and file - with the exception of government employees - still vote mostly Democrat. Unless they by and large don't and it's just their shakedown union dues that prop up the likes of Trumka and the Party.
I understand why the labor movement was founded, but I do not see the need for organized labor in this day and age. I'd say dwindling membership bears me out but the Carrier case illustrates why jobs are leaving the US. Regulatory/tax burdens and the siren call of cheaper labor overseas.
As shitty as this sounds, businesses do not exist to provide jobs and healthcare for employees. They exist to make a profit for their owners and stay in business. The rest of it is at the root of the economic Golden Goose.
Too bad.

Ford is planning to double its vehicle production in Mexico by 2018 as it builds a new plant and expands an existing plant...
They are also moving a big chunk of their transmission and engine assembly to Mexico. All this was announced just a few days ago.
Surely it is no coincidence that that UAW just crammed another big labor agreement down the Big Three's throats.
Instead of a giant sucking sound from Mexico, it is a giant blowing sound from the the unions and the regulatory authorities.

I have to disagree with you on principle. The reason Carrier is leaving is because of unholy regulations from everyone from EPA to OSHA to you-name-it as well as the union regulations that management must follow, no matter how costly and ridiculous.
Yes labor is cheaper overseas, but you're not considering why it is cheaper. I'm not a special pleader for big business, considering how many are in bed with Uncle Sugar and his Congressional Consiglieres. But it's the system that long ago perverted whatever there was of the free market post New Deal and fucked things up.
As I said, a business exists to make a profit, not to be an employer and health guarantor.
I'm sure it may not be black and white, but the shades of gray are very distinct, IMHO.

Were those profits paid out to stock holders? If so, what percentage dividend do those stockholders earn on the money they invest in the company?
Carrier most likely uses other peoples money, pays a modest dividend, but has to compete -like everyone else-- for capital.
Profit isn't really a dirty word. It's a necessary part of capitalism.

FBI investigators have not yet found any evidence to suggest the attack was directed by Islamic State or any other foreign terror organization, but federal authorities are still running down the possibility that Mohammad Barry was inspired by terrorist propaganda.
And of course this is getting huge play on the MSM....LMAO

Wasn't just Corman, y'know. The 60s and 70s were full of no-budget movie "producers" who somehow managed to get their stuff on the screen. I saw a lot of those movies, and loved 'em all (unlike my cinema-minded friends who took such epics as "Motorama" and "Laser Blast" -- both Two-Thumbs-Up films, if you ask me -- seriously).

It's a fun and funny superheroish action movie with frequent moments of violence, though nothing too shocking.
The credits and opening of the movie are very well done and give you a feel for exactly the kind of movie that it will be-
esp. if like me you know nothing about the Deadpool character or comics.
Deadpool the character is very much like the old school James Bond wisecracking his way through kills if James Bond was a hideously ugly wisecracking guy with ADD and a 13 year old's sense of humor.
Somehow it all works. Probably due to Ryan Reynolds
giving a star power performance.
The XMen bit falls a bit flat esp. toward the end probably because these are like 4th tier XMen nobody but mega-nerds have ever heard of.
Not an explosively funny movie, but you will laugh out loud several times and have a good time. Along with a few amusing fourth wall breaking moments.
Bonus!!!
If you're a book thread kind of person, who likes fourth wall breaking and characters who violate the whole author/character relationship-
there's a rather funny book titled "At Swim Two Birds" by Flann O'Brien.
It was written in 1939, so a gentler type of humor. Still lots of fun.

It's all really circular. Illegal immigrants collect expensive benefits, taxpayers (including union members) pay higher taxes than they would otherwise, notice a decline in standard of living, become resistant to further pay cuts, employers (while profitable in dollars) have to return those dollars to stockholders, who expect some reasonable return on their invested savings and can take their dollars elsewhere if the return isn't high enough, while management in order to retain their investors takes the enterprise to a country with lower wages.
If only we could change the one part of the equation, what would it be?

Heh. Working on a Filipino lady/Navy officer's house not long ago, I think I gained ten pounds in a week.
She bought us lunch one day & said "here - make yourself at home."
A counter full of caterer-style giant foIL pans (turkey roasting size). One was FULL of lumpia, another pancit, another fried rice, etc.
I said, "ma'am, there are four of us here..."
She had a very concerned look and asked "I should get more tomorrow?"
And of course, you do a good job, and you'll be working on every other family members' house for the forsee able future. The soups, the snacks, desserts, rice is ALWAYS cooking away every day...

I stand corrected. Although "Halloween" is still in the top 20 of lowest budget/highest grossing films of all time, the current champ is . . . (the envelope, please)
"Paranormal Activity"
Budget = $15,000, Box Office = $193,000,000
From a site called Hypable:
Director Oren Peli filmed Paranormal Activity over seven days at his own house for $15,000. The spooky handheld camera horror film became a massive hit via word of mouth. The movie ended up pulling in $193 million worldwide, which sparked the production of four sequels (with more on the way). The five Paranormal Activity movies have now grossed a combined worldwide total of $805 million, with the most recent sequel pulling in $86 million on a $5 million dollar budget.

He's absolutely right.
Then, he starts talking about how the republicans can shape and talk about social programs to try to convince them to switch.
This is where he goes off the tracks.
Blacks are not going to switch from democrats to republicans through gentle persuasion. People don't make decision like this in that way. Someone doesn't weigh the options and say "You know, I've been voting wrong for 30 years now that I see the republicans are slightly better in these areas".
You get the black vote in a wave. You get the black vote in one massive move brought on by common realization that the black condition hasn't improved or is getting worse and it's because certain white people profit from keeping things this way.
Trump (or Cruz) should focus on this the minute they are in the general. Start the campaign by asking the country why D'wan can't read. Ask the country why black families can't seem to get ahead.
Then pound on the education system and how inner cities can't teach no matter how much is spent. Blame it all on the democrats deal with the teacher's union to pay teachers while generations of black kids get put through the system as illiterates.
Ask why the Social Security system takes money that earned by black men who die relatively young and give it to white women who live longer, instead of letting their families inherit small fortunes to own homes and businesses.
Stay on these two reasons and let the resentment grow until people are ready to march on democrats in Washington with torches and pitchforks.
Destroy the democrat party in on election cycle.

If the weenies cant get too upset, why shd we? Just stay out of these countries that have been invaded. As a tourist you are going to be using the train and metro stations which are dangerous places. So, France, Germany, Italy, Scandis, and soon the UK, et al, are to be avoided.

Field pasta is better suited to the northern regions, and the flat meadowlands.
Tree pasta is about the only thing you can grow in the more arid and mountainous regions along the southern coast.
And usually the farmers intersperse the trees with the local olive trees, which explains the cleaner taste of the southern tree grown pasta.

First of all, almost nobody here in this country rides around on Vespas. Second, we wear not anywhere near as much cologne. And most importantly, the Italians, they make love in the fields, further enhancing the true authentico Italiano pasta flavora.
