Funny how no one in the Fed said a word when they were ripping up and outsourcing the entirety of the manufacturing and supply chains of our nation, eh?

Funny how the Fed was dead silent on the outsourcing of materials management and sourcing too.

Now that they BEGIN to understand the economic war they have been losing for decades, NOW they have a problem with it?

Oh please. Cry me a river. You've destroyed the middle class, ignored the poverty stricken, and summarily enabled and empowered the predators who are the cause at every turn.

Including China.

NOW you want to complain because China has clearly outthought you and played a long game that your own perverse self-absorption kept you from realizing existed?

I'll give you three guesses on how that's going to play out for you, and the first two don't count.

Fools.

> Legitimate question. If Japan promotes homosexuality within its society, and this promotion leads to maybe more adoption of this orientation, would this then not further the crisis of their declining population?

If you are a straight man would your country legalizing same sex marriage make you more likely to want to sleep with a man?

The terms of service doesn't matter in the context of anti-competitive practices; if scraping becomes a key requirement for the development of certain services, Google can undercut all of its competitors by using its own system.

This may seem 'fair game' to you, but it's not, it's anti-competitive, and for the same reason the Supreme Court ruled against Microsoft with regards to the competitive advantage it had with Internet Explorer before Firefox and Chrome came around.

And that wasn't about forbidding--that was about merely inconveniencing.

Edit: It says it was 'partially overturned', that doesn't refer to the ruling that Microsoft was doing something illegal, it was referring to the order to break up Microsoft into two companies. That part only was overruled.

The landmark ruling resulted in the ability to develop browsers like Firefox and Chrome through Microsoft being forced to open and document its APIs, which crushed Internet Explorer.
