You're a contractor. You don't get a "raise". You tell your client that your rates are changing and you would like to renegotiate your rate. Also - if you're in a contract job for 4 years, there's something wro

You're a contractor - PERIOD. Whenever people say "you'll be treated as an employee", that only means that you will not be excluded from team activities and decisions. That's my experience in both positions of hirin

Qualcomm's value proposition isn't the chip itself. It's the package, that includes the baseband.

When people actually don't want to do a job - the answer isn't necessarily to close down the whole industry. Right now carpenters are in very short supply. An hourly rate of a carpenter in Hudson Valley is higher than Senior Engin

Diesel electric engines are actually VERY efficient. Even the "old diesel" locomotives are still easily 40% efficient.

You moved the goalpost here, buddy. American manufacturing grew in the last 20 years.(and probably before that) Automation didn't produce the increase in jobs, to match population growth... But a claim that US manufacturing shrunk is f

If you don't have overseas allies, then you don't need a large merchant fleet at all. As it stands - merchant fleet of US allied nations is strong enough for US to not need one at all.

US had tariffs on foreign made sneakers, when the Nike scandal hit. EU has tariffs on foreign made clothes - yet multiple examples of child labor were discovered in multiple clothes retailer supply chains. This argument has been proven to b

I disagree that rail in US is much more polluting, than internal waterway transport. In Europe - yes, but not US.

> The average freight rail trip in the EU are much shorter which makes rail less competitive relative to trucks. Which makes rail freight in US much more different, doesn't it? We cannot discount competitiveness when comparing rail

I repeat myself: Foreign product tariffs prevent nothing of what you just listed You can also argue that shooting yourself in the foot will prevent child labor in sneaker industry... but mainly because you'd stop buying sneakers.

China (and Chinese people) was one of the major beneficiaries of your detested "neo-liberalism".

There's a big difference - US actually has a highly efficient rail freight network.

I think you should be banned from using any equipment not entirely made in USA, by US citizens and by a company owned by a US citizen. You know - be the nat-con that you're expressing here

by JAlexoid 4y ago
How about you actually read the damn article and the law, before writing this?
622.
by JAlexoid 4y ago
Considering that CATO has been blamed to be liberal, conservative and everything under the sun - they've had a very consistent view on many issues, that opponents come up with labels to try to smear them.

Foreign product tariffs prevent nothing of what you just listed. Complete baseless boogeyman argument

General laws, requiring that business conducted in US is conducted with residency laws taken into account is not the same as everything listed in Jone's Act.

Let's pretend that there's a global conflict and US is both against "United Asia" and "European Empire" - what would be a need for such a fleet? If we're talking about US/European allies vs China - th

That would be done via planned navy ship replacement. Not by Jone's Act and similar. Let alone - merchant ships are needed to trade and interact with allies in these extreme situations. And last I checked Maersk is a Danish company, an

It's pointless, because it failed miserably to do anything. It failed to account for the fact that most of internal US freight transport is ground or air. It lived in some ideal world where Florida to New York is cheaper to deliver via

Let's not forget that US is still the primary beneficiary of global trade, as the majority of trade is conducted in USD.
