But it probably would be hypocritical to type up a mean tweet on the apple iphone...
But this is exactly why I don't give a rats ass about Musk. The left now hates him and many on the right think he is 'one of us' when the truth is somewhere in the middle. He is a genius that has made lots of money off govt subsidies of environment disaster battery operated cars. So, yeah just like the rest of the oligarchs, he is a hypocrite.
Yeah that would be hypocritical, the United States can only say so much about China since so many products that we use everyday come from there. The corporations use cheap foreign labor to make more money, Musk is an example of exploiting cheap labor. It is awful and scary what is happening to the Uyghurs. So many corporations use the subsidies, no one seems to care that corporate welfare is a thing.
When you frame it like "Musk is an example of exploiting cheap labor" you are putting the blame on Musk, and removing it from yourself/ourselves. Musk is following the rules that our government put in place on our behalf. We have declared what is appropriate behavior and he is following it. When you say that "no one seems to care", that is the crux of the matter. In areas of our life where we don't care, we are allowing others to shape what happens to us.
but the new American way is to find a way to blame others, so it cant be our fault that our country and way of life is being dumped on its head.

We have a political system that is set up to keep us separated, fearful and manipulated. And now social media has taken it to new levels.

There you go. He is following the rules of the government. The rich set up the system for their benefit, that is nothing new. That is why people call them geniuses for conning the people. And yet his greed has him complaining that the United States workers are not like Chinese workers. So yeah there is responsibility and blame there. As a voter, I make my voice heard. I do what I can. We have a 2 party system with both sides working to gain advantage, influence and power. It is what it is.

It sounds like you really have no idea exactly HOW many U.S. companies get their stuff manufactured and shipped from Asia. If you think its just the 'MEGA' corps, you are in for a huge surprise. All of these 'patriotic' companies like Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, etc. get a shit ton of product either directly from China on their own private label products (Kobalt for Lowes, Husky for Home Depot) or deal with companies that import at least some, if not most of their product from China. Air compressors, power tools, wet saws, tile cutters, etc. ...you know, all of those manly blue collar type tools the country music listeners and singers love while singing God Bless America....China. And much smaller companies do the same thing and save money but obviously, the more product you order the higher the savings. Doesn't have to be a Home Depot. You buy products by containers to ship from Asia. A container used to cost around $3000 for a container full of say, wet saws to ship. Now it costs around $24,000 per container. There's a global transportation crisis.
The only reason China is where they are is because of American corporations. Period. So who's deserving of the criticism again?? Just Apple and Intel? Hardly. And the Chinese companies that have popped up to sell directly into the U.S. market got all their engineering and know-how from American companies. It was just handed over to them to manufacture. And also blame the everyday American consumer: as much as they raise that flag and say they'll 'Buy American Made', you know what the reality is? They won't. Because it costs more. 8 out of 10 Americans say'll they want to buy a product made in the USA. That goes down to 4.5 out of 10 if that item costs 18% more. Want to know who is contributing more to the downfall of rural society here domestically than any corporation? The dollar store channel. They are devastating what remains of the small businesses. They are popping up everywhere, selling dirt cheap garbage.
AGREE totally with your sentiment, blame definitely falls on the American consumer as well as the Americans supplying them.
Question, is it just country music man's that can use air compressors and wet saws, or can I crank the motorhead while framing up a new garage? :p
Crank it up! :p
Bottom line: no other entity has done a better job of harming American values and culture than American corporations.
Yes, Greed is King (Corporations) all the while manipulating the government to their whims but they portraying to the public that they have to move HQ for cheaper taxes (will never admit for cheaper labor of course). It's a Corporate mantra for decades about how they have to pay such high taxes and want it lowered but it will never be low enough for the to stay anyway. Lastly, in 2018 the Corporate tax rate became a flat 21% vs a progressive (like indiv) that topped out at 35% .
Back when it was topped out at 35%:
Some Key Findings:- As a group, the 258 corporations paid an effective federal income tax rate of 21.2 percent over the eight-year period, slightly over half the statutory 35 percent tax rate.
- Eighteen of the corporations, including General Electric, International Paper, Priceline.com and PG&E, paid no federal income tax at all over the eight-year period. A fifth of the corporations (48) paid an effective tax rate of less than 10 percent over that period.
- Of those corporations in our sample with significant offshore profits, more than half paid higher corporate tax rates to foreign governments where they operate than they paid in the United States on their U.S. profits.
These findings refute the prevailing view inside the Beltway that America’s corporate income tax is more burdensome than the corporate income taxes levied by other countries, and that this purported (but false) excess burden somehow makes the U.S. “uncompetitive.”
These Corporations have tax account departments (I was one briefly) that will ensure they find every single loophole.
They are also experts at portraying to the general public that they are the victim of the government rules, regs, tax code that forces them to China while they rack in Billions.
The America Dream is no longer to have a nice home/car/vacation and family. It is now, how much money can I accumulate using every loophole humanly possible and some others that aren't loopholes to max my profits. If I get caught doing anything illegal, I just hire the best attorney and pay a fine from my pile of money. Most of the time the public sides with that person because they are million/billionaires that used the Capitalistic system to the extreme and didn't pay their taxes and screwed the very government which is their money being siphoned to the Billionaire.
Oh well, there is no stopping the Corporate machine of greed corruption IMO. All these pie-in-the-sky ideas have never worked because the general public does not have the will...or the way to do anything about it. We are a Corporate run Country that can give to shitz about small business and individuals unless it affects their bottom line...then they really care!!!

Not seeing how what you said changes anything? Yeah, I know HOW MANY companies get shit from China. Been fighting that for decades. I actually used to look until I found the needed item not made in china. Now it is pretty much impossible.
So lecture someone else. I have been paying the cost in time and money, but it has been a losing battle. So now I am down to building it myself, growing it myself or doing without in many cases.

When that NBA owner said no one cared about the Uyghurs, he was right. Callous, but right. No one cares enough to change their habits. I drive old vehicles, wear old clothes I have had for a decade.
Corporate welfare is a thing, made possible by our political leaders in DC and state level. Both sides. It was eye opening to see how many US governors were on the "china friendly" list.

We are a Corporate run Country that can give to shitz about small business and individuals unless it affects their bottom line...then they really care!!!
I agree with everything you said there, but are we as individuals really not the same? How many of us dont look for every tax break we can get? How many Americans are turning down govt handouts? ( price supports for health care, crop insurance, education, child tax credits, covid money, etc and the list goes on. ) Is this really anything unique to American people or businesses, or just a human trait? Sure we all like to think of ourselves as noble givers, but dont we all have limits and exceptions, instances where we say fuck it, or fuck them, and do what is in our, or our families best interest, even when it may not be in the best interest of our neighbor or country as a whole?
hell look at how we vote, we all agree that our govt is run by a bunch of corrupt fucks that are on the take, but yet how many of us actively vote against the incumbent after they have been in for a while? sure some will do it in a primary, but when it comes to the general election we are right back to the same ol party bull shit for most of their ballot, but yet what has voting for my party or your party got us? JACK SHIT, same problems we were discussing 30 years ago are still a problem today, even though both parties have had more than ample opportunities to correct the issues.
its greed all right, but I dont think there are many among us that cant find instances of greed in our own lives. and those that are running those companies are just human as well ( bigger bank accounts for sure ) but its average people with 401ks like those on this board that also want to see those positive returns, we kind of demand it so is greed all bad? is it really as much about corporate greed as it is our own greed?
