“But exactly that’s what won’t make the competitive in the long run. Slave labour is always inefficient – it can drive down the costs of one given product but harms the national economy as a whole.”

Do you have any examples of the inefficiencies of slave labor? I was under the impression that it has long been used as a catalyst for empire rather than a nail in the coffin.

“Having seen the factories in China that produce steel and dump it in the US, I’d say the efficient foreign competitors you laud are in violation of basic human rights and subscribe to indentured servitude, not efficiency .”

But exactly that’s what won’t make the competitive in the long run. Slave labour is always inefficient – it can drive down the costs of one given product but harms the national economy as a whole.

Having seen the factories in China that produce steel and dump it in the US, I’d say the efficient foreign competitors you laud are in violation of basic human rights and subscribe to indentured servitude, not efficiency . Likewise, state intervention allows prices to be artificially lowered through state supply of raw goods, not innovation. Given the dramatic loss of domestic steel production in the US, have you created a conspiracy of your own, in claiming the doubtful existence of an effective domestic steel lobby?

This “moron” finds your example “ignorant”. Add “crass” for using a term of mental capacity in the pejorative rather than clinical sense. ..add “defeated and irrelevant” for the quotation marks around “public good”.

(I suppose you mean the Rothschild family.)

did Nathan use insider info after Wellington defeated Napoleon or is that a myth?

I don’t think you are alone in your idea.

“Pinky and The Brain” will run circles around you ?

The key is that he thinks he is actually altruistic and “illuminated” whereas the rest of us are ingrates because we don’t appreciate being led with a ring in our noses.

Conspiracy is when a group of people are promoting an agenda that they know would be widely opposed if widely understood. They desire secrecy to shield themselves from opposition.

Ridiculing conspiracy is a means of protecting conspiracy, and the surest sign of conspiracy. I thought of trying to take over the world with a conspiracy when I was in high school. I find it hard to believe that I am the only person in the world who has come up with that idea, let alone acted upon it.
