Draconian vacation policies for US slave workers

wrote: "The Reid" wrote in message .. . Following up to Mxsmanic And yes my lifestyle is completely supportable. People have been saying the US lifestyle isn't supportable for over half a century and we keep improving. Any lifestyle is supportable if the population is not allowed to expand out of control. to support the US lifestyle across the globe population will have to start falling fast. Funny, but a lot of those people have been coming across the globe to the US to work, and be part of that lifestyle. Sounds like it's the thrid world and socialist lifestyles that aren't sustainable. That's hardly connected to what Mike said. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

"The Reid" wrote in message .. . Following up to Tchiowa I think you missed a chunk yourself. Note that I can own 3 cars and a lot of stuff that I want (never mind if *you* or someone else thinks it's useless) what you probably don't get is that that lifestyle isnt supportable. We need to consume less, work less and pollute less, Who are you to decide what others need to do? He has a most important qualification: he cares about the welfare of all, and not just his own. -- PB The return address has been MUNGED My travel writing: http://www.iol.ie/~draoi/ |

This really is a fixation of yours. Why do you continue pushing the point? It's almost as if you truly believe you know better than the Europeans. When it comes to heat and air conditioning, I do. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Besides, the better practitioners constantly check on things, and update their knowledge and skills. -- PB The return address has been MUNGED My travel writing: http://www.iol.ie/~draoi/ |

Capitalism didn't "beat" Communism. Communism/Socialism failed all by itself. Socialism is a fatally flawed theory and any attempt to implement it will always fail over time. That has been proven over and over again. The opposite is currently being demonstrated in the PRC. Excuse me?????? The PRC is growing quite rapidly now. But there are apparently 2 things you are unaware of. 'quite rapidly'??? They can barely control it! The first is that the Chinese government has allowed private ownership of industry and it is those businesses that are driving the growth. That's called "Capitalism". It's the only freedom the people have. True enough. But the point is that it is the Capitalism that is allowing the growth. Cut out the Socialism and the pent up demand explodes into rapid growth. In other words, you just proved my point. The second is that if the growth continues then eventually the people will rise up and throw out the last of the Communists and Socialism will end. If not, then they will reach a point where the economy plateaus and it will be "way" below the level of the West. Yeah, yeah, sure. I've heard the same said about the USA, but the other way round. When it happens I'll come back here and give you credit for predicting it. Well we won't have to worry about that because at the current comparative rates of growth it will take China most of a century to catch up to the US. |
