north american economy
« on: January 24, 2010, 02:46:50 PM »
Do you think only buying products made and produced in North America would have a huge impact on our economy.
I do my best to buy North AMerican

And if so what are some things that we can do

Only certain products are all north American. But if we get Mexico more involved, this could work.

I am so tired of watching places close down and watching people lose their homes and their lively hood because of the economy. 

I can only imagine that if we buy and spend locally we could pull ourselves out of this. 

I only buy American when I can.

I drive ford only vehicles

I do however spend alot of money at walmart which I knwo isnt helping

people with low or no qualifications are often more prone to be impacted by unemployment. People with rare skills and a decent education, who can lead and have a background in psychology have better places and of course earn more.
They also chose safer jobs from the beginning.

My cousin when to China for 2 weeks. He brought back about 15 custom measured shirts that he bought about $12 each. He did a comparison between the shirts that he bought off the rack here in the US and the custom ones were superior in material and workmanship.

He bought so many things there for pennies on the dollar that even if you factor in the plane ticket he still ahead of the game. For about $5 US you can have a meal fit for a king.
 
But beyond that Americans are only patriotic when he comes to "physical and immediate threats".  In other countries buying "locally" produced goods is the only way to go.

Here is the states no ones gives a fuck where anything is produced.   One thing that always amazed me is that for the past 20 years not one high ranking government officially has stated that Americans should buy american goods.

You never see american cars in other countries...never..

hell, we give other countries tax benefits for dumping shit here.

you really are an idiot.  SO how do you respond to the fact that I am self employed  and I have lost over 500g in sales this past year alone and mostly from the upper crust of society.  The economy affects all.

What, you have what it takes to be a teacher, a surgeon, a physician or a manager, but noone wants to hire you? How comes?

I could have gone deeper...and said that the most successful are those who have both well developped intellectual and emotional intelligence... And that you inherit most of your chances to be successful in life from your parents or from some tutors of resiliency you might have met in your life first and foremost.

Lots of rubbish out of China too that isn't at the same quality. However the problem is there are some good factories and they are mass producing so it's going to hurt local jobs (although you have to mention importing creates jobs as well on the ports, unloading, truck drivers for containers etc.)

As for buiying American, it sounds great but the majority of people will go with $$ first

Dude... seriously...stfu. Everyday you re-invent your internet character, judging by most of your posts it seems you're just a teen who understands nothing about life and makes up bullshit stories on a hourly basis cause he has nothing else better to do than watching TV, pick some random society related topic and create a thread about it on a bodybuilding messageboard.  You re lying so much almost anything you say has 0 value.

Oh and I dont know many people with a good education who have no jobs, or work shitty jobs. Most of em have good jobs and  very good incomes, period. I dont know why you morons need to pretend that "even people with degrees" are struggling to make a living in their fields "nowadays"... It's a myth for morons like you to feel better about themselves. These skilled people are working right now while you're whining on an internet messageboard cause you have nothing worth it to offer to society. Learn some skills and sell em for money then you'll see, you will feel like society needs you and like you have a role, a place in it.

I'm just saying all your posts try to say this happens because this happened, or someone is like this because..... there is more to it than this or that but who i am to say.....

I totally believe i didn't get certain jobs because i was being interviewed by someone who's ego was in the way (like many men)(by this i mean thought they were the greatest and didn't want the challenge) or just jealous of what i looked like. Break it down.................... .

I NEVER ONCE SAID ANY ONE WITH AN EDUCATION WAS UNEMPLOYED OR SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY. Some however are holding on to their money a little tighter.    I am simply saying it would benefit the country at large to buy locally.

And I do not reinvent myself daily you assclown.  I simply have a diverse view on things and unlike yourself from time to time post intelligent thoughts and theories

im guessing you have never ben to china.  Its not as cheap as you think unless you want to live like the locals.  I prefer the finer things in life   like freedom and basic human rights.

I wasn't complaining stupid just making fun of myself and letting others in on a funny moment in my life.   

BTW message board is not a compound word and Internet should be spelt with a capital I.    lol
