What is this ****?Blackvegetable » 22 Jan 2021, 9:59 pm » wrote: ↑ U.S.-China trade war has cost up to 245,000 U.S. jobs: business group study
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war with China has caused a peak loss of 245,000 U.S. jobs, but a gradual scaling back of tariffs on both sides would boost growth and lead to an additional 145,000 jobs by 2025, a study commissioned by the U.S.-China Business Council (USCBC) shows.
The group, which represents major American companies doing business in China, said the study by Oxford Economics also includes an “escalation scenario” which estimates a significant decoupling of the world’s two largest economies could shrink U.S. GDP by $1.6 trillion over the next five years. This could result in 732,000 fewer U.S. jobs in 2022 and 320,000 fewer jobs by 2025, it said.

Are you just now understanding what trump said when he declared he was running for president?

1. You can't.
2. What's wrong with it just being what it is?
You think everyone should be the same race?

because human beings are life forms. Like all life forms we adapt to our particular environment.PXiZ1102 » Today, 6:02 pm » wrote: ↑ Saying it over and over again is getting us nowhere.
Without inundating us all with scientific details and long winded paragraphs from some bearded egg head, could you find or create a short, direct, concise explanation of why you believe this?
"Multiracial societies simply cannot work. And that is not merely for economic reasons. We are all alienated and living in an artificial sort of society that none of us are genetically adapted to."
If it isn't easily read and digested no one will read or listen to you further on this matter, I suspect. I won't.
As social creatures an important part of our environment is the people around us. For our entire evolutionary history the people around us were our race.
And so it is in our DNA how to organize society and how to perform various roles. Each human society has its own unique method of survival. For Europeans in general.and Anglos in particular the method of survival was technological development. For..say...the Chinese the method of survival involved extreme efficiency and very low risk.
Now imagine if a country was half Anglo and half Chinese. What does the society do? Does it accept risk and inefficiency and breaking of traditions in order to develop technology...like the Anglos would want? Or does it follow a Chinese sort of low risk and high conformity efficient use of resources?
It cannot do both and there is nothing coherent that can cater to both strategies. So what you get instead is paralysis and a low trust society. Internal conflict, political instability, and perhaps eventually war.

Read the lyrics where he describes how things USED to be.
There is a difference between 1945 and the start of the Nixon administration.
Then compare the way things are perceived to have been in 1971 with how they are today.
In regards to freedom and a lack of societal bigotry and systemic racism, we have come a long way.
You may not like the direction society has gone as a result of trying to assure that Blacks enjoy the most equal rights possible, but you can't say that progress in terms of giving Blacks an even playing field, hasn't occurred.
And I would guess that is not your greatest concern.
Which is okay as far as your having the right to express your opinion is concerned.
you seem to be interested in solving racism.
i am discussing the problem of race.
even if you solve racism, you wont solve race.

IkeBana » Today, 3:44 pm » wrote: ↑ Carl Sagan, Cosmos...
“We have held the peculiar notion that a person or society that is a little different from us, whoever we are, is somehow strange or bizarre, to be distrusted or loathed. Think of the negative connotations of words like ‘alien’ or ‘outlandish.’ And yet the monuments and cultures of each of our civilizations merely represent different ways of being human. An
extraterrestrial visitor, looking at the differences among human beings and their societies, would find those differences trivial compared to the similarities. The Cosmos may be densely populated with intelligent beings. But the Darwinian lesson is clear: There will be no humans elsewhere. Only here. Only on this small planet. We are a rare as well as endangered species. Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.”
I dont care if you decide to hate people who are different. That is irrelevant. I guess that is a problem for you and carl sagan to struggle with.
but the fact remains: we are different

LOU RAWLS * Natural Man
https://youtu.be/PtrqU7QnEus
You know, there was a time when, if someone told you to do something, you did it. Bam. Right on. No questions asked. It was "yes, sir" and "yes, mam." You never said no, you know? Huh. But, you know, things are changing nowadays. It's a new day, babies. Folks want to take their own lives into their hands and make their own choices. No longer do they want to go along with the program 'cause everybody say it's right. You know what I mean? Let me tell you what I'm talkin' about, you see, 'cause
I don't want no gold watch for working fifty years from nine till five
While the boss is guzzling champagne and I'm belting beer in some dive
'Cause I want to be
Happy and free
Living and loving for me
I want to be
Happy and free
Living and loving for me
Like a natural man (like a natural man)
A natural man (like a natural man)
Well now
I refuse to listen to people's thinking that I live too high
I'm gonna taste it now, before my one life streaks on by
'Cause I want to be
Happy and free
Living and loving for me
I want to be
Happy and free
Living and loving for me
Just like a natural man (like a natural man)
I said a natural man (just like a natural man)
Well now, I tried to do what others say that I should do
They say that I should fit in, fool 'em, fake it, well
Those kinda dues just make me crazy and blue
Man, I just can't take it
So when you see me walking, won't you notice that proud look in my eyes
My feet are on the ground and my soul is searching for the sky
'Cause I want to be
Happy and free
Living and loving for me
I want to be
Happy and free
Living and loving for me
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)

No more "yes, sir" (just like a natural man)
No more "yes, mam" (just like a natural man)
Huh, 'cause I'm a natural man (just like a natural man)
I'm a natural man (just like a natural man)
useless platitudes. Not great poetry either...just a sign that also the arts have fallen into decline

theres a reason that 'balkanize' is a word lol. Different regions were just de facto different states. The entire country was not well integrated.

Revolutions and rebellions etc are not like civil wars. The revolt attempts to win by basically exhausting the perceived legitimacy of the state and undermine loyalty. The army of a rebellionattemps to avoid confrontation in battle...if they do fight then they are crushed.Pengwin » Today, 2:21 pm » wrote: ↑ And the Russian Revolution?

Never.Pengwin » Today, 2:09 pm » wrote: ↑ You are the history buff. Is there not an example of a civil war in which that was also true?
Wars between Catholics and Protestants seems like an obvious starting point. Jews and Romans perhaps?
Protestants and Catholics were divided into different kingdoms. If the king was Catholic, so was the country. Romans and Jews also were seperate countries.
There's never been some 'Civil war' without such clear divisions.
The best you could get is a revolt. Like say pugachevs rebellion. All revolts require a strong leader. And they don't have the same feel as a civil war.

Well the point stands. The factions are all living amongst each other now. There is no clear division and no organization. Ergo no war. Kust endless riots.
