Bankrot Amerike

Republikanec se zgraža, da je park zaprt, ker je "govt. shutdown". A kdo ve za še večjo ironijo?


Potem pa še zatlači tisto veliko zastavo v žep, da bo ja izpadel patriot.

Obamacare nikoli ni imel večinske podpore med Američani in je še danes nima.

Obamacare večina Američanov nasprotuje, sicer s temi manevri ne bo ustavljena, bodo pa Republikanci iztržili kakšen budget cut tu in tam. Potem bodo Obama ljudjem spet dovolil hojo po nacionalnih gozdovih.

Among the many delusions guiding the Republican campaign against the Affordable Care Act, surely the most consistent is the idea that the public detests the law and is clamoring for repeal.

Here's the truth: The American public loves Obamacare, with as many as 88% in favor, according to one survey.

How can that be, when polls regularly show a plurality of respondents with an "unfavorable" view of Obamacare? (In a September Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll, the difference was 43% unfavorable to 39% favorable.)

The answer, of course, is that most Americans have no idea what's in the law. In the Kaiser survey, 57% said they didn't have enough information to know how it would affect them. When they're asked how they feel about specific provisions, however, they're almost always thunderously in favor.

Here are figures from Kaiser's March 2013 poll:

Tax credits for small businesses to buy insurance: 88% in favor.

Closing the Medicare drug benefit doughnut hole: 81% in favor.

Extension of dependent coverage to offspring up to age 26: 76% in favor.

Expanding Medicaid: 71% in favor.

Ban on exclusions for preexisting conditions: 66% in favor.

Employer mandate: 57% in favor.

If you agree with those provisions, congratulations: You love Obamacare. Yet when respondents are asked how they feel about "Obamacare," they're against it.

Apple executives say that going overseas, at this point, is their only option. One former executive described how the company relied upon a Chinese factory to revamp iPhone manufacturing just weeks before the device was due on shelves. Apple had redesigned the iPhone’s screen at the last minute, forcing an assembly line overhaul. New screens began arriving at the plant near midnight.

A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.

“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.”

Another critical advantage for Apple was that China provided engineers at a scale the United States could not match. Apple’s executives had estimated that about 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee and guide the 200,000 assembly-line workers eventually involved in manufacturing iPhones. The company’s analysts had forecast it would take as long as nine months to find that many qualified engineers in the United States.

In China, it took 15 days.

Companies like Apple “say the challenge in setting up U.S. plants is finding a technical work force,” said Martin Schmidt, associate provost at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In particular, companies say they need engineers with more than high school, but not necessarily a bachelor’s degree. Americans at that skill level are hard to find, executives contend. “They’re good jobs, but the country doesn’t have enough to feed the demand,” Mr. Schmidt said.

Ta futurolog malo preveč posplošeno gleda na celotno globalno razmerje sil.

ZDA še dolgo časa ne bodo tretji svet, Kitajska pa tudi še dolgo časa ne bo prvi svet.

Moja napoved je, da se bo celoten svet počasi izravnal zaradi globalizacije.

Obama ima drug problem. Če bi ljudje videli, da države ne potrebujejo v tej obliki, bi začasni shutdown prešel v stalni shutdown.

Prednost ZDA je, da imajo boljšo migracijsko politiko, mladi in pametni prihajajo k njim

medtem ko Evropa postaja vedno bolj stara, ker ne maramo tujcev

večino ostalih so pa poklali ali zasužnjili

Mehičani njih zasedba južnih držav ZDA ?

A si ti eden od "libertarcev"? Tole kar se trenutno dogaja ni popolen shutdown, ampak delni. Ne moreš tega dajati za primer dobrega delovanja države tudi potem, ko bi se vse vladne inštitucije zaprle. Policija, reševalci, gasilci in ostalo nujno osebje še vedno delajo (čeprava najbrž trenutno ne dobivajo plačila).
Mogoče bi ljudje drugače gledali na to, ko bi si morali naenkrat sami zrihtati privat varnostnike za svojo sosesko.
