I can only respond with second hand accounts about moving tools (wrenches, sockets, etc.) production overseas. Much of the quality has worsened (Craftsman, and your knockoff Kobalt, etc) but most people will not pay for Snap-on or SK tools,

Yes, but it was also his "fist" which through a paranoid mind killed off much of his military brain trust --which left him with amateurish (unseasoned) upper ranks to run the military when war actually came.

I understand that. It's not perfect and I don't think the assumption is that it was but more that overall people as a group will smooth those rough edges. In other words the majority will compensate for the minority who use the r

When I rate things it's usually an "overall" rating, rather than weigh one dimension disproportionately. Which is why I would almost never grant a 5-star rating to something. But I'll dish out 2, 3 and some 4s regularl

As I posted in the dupe: This saddens me. >Users would rate documentaries with 5 stars, and silly movies with just 3 stars, but still watch silly movies more often than those high-rated documentaries That's not incongruous to me. Th

The author is mixing different things up and trying to make them one with the purpose of attacking a weakness of the other as if it were the latter. It's one thing to speak objectively and from a rational point of view, but it's

Not to put a fly in the soup, but don't utilities charge different rates for different customers? for Example PG&E might have one rate for residential, one for small biz and one for large biz? Not to say that net neutrality is dif

CA cannot stop tax collecting by the Feds --and residents will not risk getting hauled into the Pen for avoiding tax payments. It'd be ironic if California became more nationalistic than people at the national level --I mean, why not S

The thought is that "subway" mass transit can be full of people, even stuffed, but "commuter" lines are a bit lighter after they deboard passengers at the first few suburbs and you can find a nice comfy seat somewhere ar

I think you may be reading too much into it. I think poster is using those labels to illustrate the issue rather than for the purpose of asserting nationalism.

Like many things, I'm sure you can make a case for exceptions or whitelists --although granted they likely monitor and or shunt traffic to less trusted vlans or something?

I don't mean to take it into the ideological realm. I can't disagree with what you said, except the money spent on foreign wars/intervention was pretty ramped up during Bush II and Obama.

If anything worried me it would be fundamental research more than startups -whether the new admin affects fundamental researchers coming in would be a bigger issue than a few entrepreneurs having to work harder at home. Missing up on star

Modernization? Do you think it's likely he'll be more interventionist than the Obama years? It's hard to imagine that, but of course it's possible, the question is is it likely?

One possible issue with the Nordics usurping the US's lead is their Janteloven which can work against entrepreneurship. However, other European countries may be able to take advantage, the UK, DE, FR (to a lesser extent due to regul

It's interesting you bring up warmongering when it looks like some in the opposition party are concerned about the US receding from interventionism and seeking more effort from the other NATO countries. That the US is becoming more is

I don' think the situation is as dire as people think. Europe exported many technical people during the war years and one would be hard pressed to say they are backwards because they lost talent. Japan as well is not very friendly to

Unsure how things are now btwn China and India, but they have not always been the best of friends and often compete against one another, so it remains to be seen if they view china as a viable option over their own country.

Does that not require that other major nations loosen their policies in conjunction with this, in addition to cultural aspects of self-promotion as well as failure and access to *capital.

I think Appalachian malaise predates the opiate problem. I think it would be worthwhile investigating the cultural aspects which allow an extremely poor population in a poor country fare better than a merely poor population in a developed c

The author of the question does not have a straightforward answer but puts this forward as a thought provoker. For example while Appalachians have higher income on average (PPP) than a typical Bangladeshi, Appalachian life expectancy is low

My take is that he's looking at the mechanics of the operation rather than the politics of the operation/governing style. From that perspective it would seem he made a reasonable statement.

The other belief is that these people live in lost provinces far from the all important metropolises and long for being able to move to a place with meaning-ignoring that most of existence that's how people lived in rural communities.

Their "rivalry" reminds me of the Canon/Nikkon co-existence model. Where they competed but in slightly different market segments. One would have lenses for x-type of photography, while the other had them for y-type photograph

Someone told me that the hard part about universities in Japan is getting in. Once you're in, you have to try to fail. Conversely, High School, while rote, is hard. In that sense, it's a bit opposite of other places like the Us
