Were you in Baltimore last year? Ferguson Missouri the year before that?
It’s just as likely that the ultimate outcome might be better with a more rapid conclusion, rather than a prolonged slide.
It seems to me that a solar flare in 1932 would be much less painful than even the best case scenario today, but perhaps I have read through Collapse too many times.
Timing in terms of time of year seems the most immediate relevant thing, especially if we are looking at a very brutal landing, but what is good in one region or environment will not necessarily be good in another immediately, and what seems best immediately may not seem best in the long term.
Ah yes, when you have no facts nor logic, resort to insults.
Have a fantastic Friday my friend.
From a free market perspective, of course Harley should have died. If it can’t compete, why does the gov’t need to prop it up?
However, the early 1980s economy was far different then today’s economy. Apples and oranges
Today Harley’s have parts manufactured all over the world. Just like any other major company in America.
Free Traitors™ would rather crash the whole system and have Great Depression II than try protectionism and rebuilding our industrial base.
Maybe because I am in the tech industry, but my experience is far different from yours. Entrepreneurs are worshiped rock stars, in particular amongst the young.
Musk, Zuckerberg, Jobs, Sean Parker. Admired stars, not vilified.
The entrepreneur who opens a new heavy manufacturing plant in Santa Clara might have a much larger positive impact on the economy, but he isn't going to get any worship from the kids - nor from the local looter class.
Musk is about to open an even larger heavy manufacturing plant in Santa Clara.
Entrepreneurs who disrupt are industries are awesome.
Crony industrialists who rely on gov’t to bail them out of mistakes deserve ridicule.
