Where you gonna find the necessary new markets, chap?mrussel1 said:
A laissez-faire capitalist or possibly objectivist would support ignoring the political and cultural system in China. I believe in reasonable regulations, oversight and taking into account political environments before entering certain markets.ecdanc said:
I didn't say "laissez-faire."mrussel1 said:
Laissez-faire capitalism is not what I support. I think we've been through this maybe 20x now.ecdanc said:
Capitalism requires new markets. You can't be that angry that your preferred system is working, eh?mrussel1 said:
I agree with this. It angers me when I see Google, the NBA and other US organizations bowing to the Chinese government in order to access their market. Don't get me amped up on how terribly the NBA misplayed the whole situation last fall. It's infuriating.Spiritual_Chaos said:
Well you better start believing in China stories, because they are buying you up and your companies are bowing to them. So why does anyone wanting that "workers' utopia" need to move? They just need to sit back and keep watching Disney movies.mrussel1 said:
Better than the Soviet Union and China. Fascinating to see doctors hauled away for re-education in China for initially exposing the spread of the virus. But I'm sure they had right to counsel, speedy trial, Miranda, sixth amendment, etc. There's still time for you to pick up your family and move to the workers' utopia!ecdanc said:
How's your legal system working?mrussel1 said:
Oh right, you have your own legal system. It starts with one party and ends with the gulag.ecdanc said:
You're merely describing aspects of the feature.mrussel1 said:
Or because they hire kids straight out of law school, some who just passed the bar, have no relevant experience, and pay them six figures.ecdanc said:
Probably because what they're trying to address is a feature, not a bug.mrussel1 said:
The CFPB is great in theory, awful in practice. The boots on the ground have zero experience in regulatory practices and have little to no understanding of the industries in which they are attempting to regulate. They are kids who spend a few years there, file a bunch of lawsuits or consent orders, and attempt to rule making through the consents because they're ineffective through the any formal regulation or even victorious suits.Jearlpam0925 said:And she's always on point:

There are plenty of underdeveloped markets, bloke. Second, every generation born offers a new market and new product development.ecdanc said:

Well that all depends on what your product is. An underdeveloped market in the US is different than China, which is different than Vietnam, which is different in Africa. For example, the renter/real estate market in the US is highly fragmented and underdeveloped from a modeling and analytics perspective, for the work I do. But this product that I'm working on would have no applicability in China for 25 years, Africa for maybe 40 or 50, who knows.ecdanc said:

Well you're getting into acceptable rates of return for equity investments there. So for someone or some company that lives off of a growing return and that return must be X NPV or IRR (net present value/internal rate of return), they would probably argue that at some point for them to sustain their acceptable growth targets, they need China. But those are PE or VC type companies or investment banks. That's just one small form of capitalism. So to answer your question directly, no our mixed economy system does not need China to sustain.ecdanc said:

Capitalism can sustain; however, the money will generally flow to where it will return the highest yield. That's why the money wants to flow to China, for the NBA example. And that's simply because of the number of eyeballs. However, the NBA will not become insolvent if it does not enter China.ecdanc said:
