David Simon on the End of the American Empire No. 3 of 3

Not that I disagree with much that Simon describes, but it's just funny to hear a priviliged northeastern, upper-middle class white guy wring his hands.

Especially when he decries partisanship and takes partisan stances.

another cut at 7:52. hope it wasnt malicious

capitalism has good and bad points. but capitalism needs to be regulated so society stays happy and stable. balance is key

It´s impossible that capitalism makes society happy and stable if more than 60% of human population lives in poverty. Captalism by definition is unbalanced

Excellent! Thank you for posting.

The truth and nothing but!!!!!

he's spot on and an intelligent,educated person

Your very funny, the US worker can't work for the same wages as the Chinese, Indonesian, Malay, or the Indian worker. The dollar is week, but it isn't weaker than the Chinese Yuan. Besides, they use forced labor in China from political prisoner camps and prison camps. This also cuts down on costs in China, and China has a surplus of workers more than the USA. India has the most computer scientists on the planet, and they will work for less than the American worker. Jobs will move there.

You're 100% on target, we are so fucked it's not to be believed. If came into a lot of money, the last thing I would do is keep it in dollars. I would do the same: commodities, commodities, commodities.
