The death of the "market," following the SCOTUS decision: Some guy here is agreed w/ by this guy, who has a more negative take on it.
Thing is, foreign companies don’t have this “advantage” so have to compete the old fashioned way. And they will continue to eat American companies lunch. As the US gets weaker, and becomes less able to force foreign companies to obey American laws, this strategy will become less and less viable, especially as American citizens will also be losing buying power.
This sort of thing is why I now see the odds of the US turning itself around in the next generation as being miniscule.
The corporations took their toy & broke it. Too damned bad the bosses won't be punished, & that not one Rand-o-tarian will learn anything from this. (Who are we kidding? They'll all have boiled in their own wastes by then anyway. What a world this was.)

Sheesh!
You sound even more negative than I, and I didn't think that was possible.
And they are now congratulating themselves on their "win," and are "ready to roll!"
And we keep thinking it can't get any worse.
Get ready for the tanks in the streets, and the Cheney/Palin ticket.
Yes, the final laugh on our naivete will be the triumphant all-women ticket.
PUMA's unite!
Sheesh.

We've been a cynic (or worse) for about 40 yrs. now, & a nihilist for maybe 20 yrs., & there haven't been too many reasons to change our view.
Now we're about to enjoy the suffering of others, but those who most deserve to suffer probably won't. Which only worsens our bad attitude.
