It’s always hard in economics to differentiate cause and effect.

Why does our government grant work visas to Eastern Europeans to work in Myrtle Beach in the summer? If MB businesses offered a living wage, US workers could afford to work there. Instead, the businesses complain that no one will apply for their jobs at the shitty wages offered, so the government has to issue work visas so that Russians can live six to a room and bike to work.

And that higher wage results in higher prices for goods and services putting us right back at square one. If our entitlement programs were not such a poverty lock, people would be allowed to work temporality in order to build up some quality of life. But no, u either collect and do nothing or take a chance and have the safety net pulled. It is a vicious cycle designed to set no one free.

Come on now…if we just raised the federal minimum wage to about $25 bucks an hour everyone would make over $50k annually. There; problem solved, right? ;-)

If you don’t like the ‘ad tax’ my suggestion is you nasty ass biker supporting socialists should elect local officials that agree with you.

Until then, STFU. The locals took the trash out,the beach is doing well and fucking move if you don’t like it.

Get serious. Nothing they ever did in Myrtle Beach affected the steady flow of money from bikers for the whole Grand Strand area but just that little piece of it. The ones who ride harleys have been slowly returning to that town year by year. the black bikers never left but have steadily increased in number. You say the most foolish things possible but want to be taken seriously?

welcomed”

Translation: Mande supports the modern day near enslavement of US workers to be the same as the Chinese with little regard for human rights, no unions, poverty wages, 70 hours a week, lax (if any) safety standards and the like.

Mande, the problem is not “red tape”, the problem is greedy mutha fuckin’ corporates who want to maximize profits off the backs of labor by paying them fuck all and treating them like shit…voila…China!!

What should I expect from a person who blames female victims of domestic violence as it being their own faults.

Good logic – I too try to stay out of the personally destructive nonsense that takes place on internet discussion boards attendant to someone’s personal appearance, family issues, etc. It may be rationalization, but I will occasionally make exceptions if the person in question either really needs an ass-whipping due to bad public behavior or incessantly fixates on their own appearance / sexuality anyway. I still can’t make myself care about this chic’s hair, though. ;-)

“…country rich beyond recognition…”

China is loaded, to be sure, but they are not “rich beyond recognition.” There’s a lot of mythology and misunderstanding about our favorite Asian reds out there, but the fact remains that the US is “richer” in almost every way we can compare (with the glaring exception, of course, of our centralized governmental debt, although China’s internal central banking issues are starting to catch up with them as well). Our GDP is over 150% that of China’s, and more importantly our per capita GDP is seven times theirs ($53k versus around $7k). Even a significant part of the trade imbalance between the US and China is misrepresented due to “country of origin” manufacturing issues. Let ‘em come over and spend some of that cash!

Or perhaps one could take Arthur C. Clarke’s 2061 and extend the prospect of world peace to nations having too much to lose if they attacked an adversary, Kinda reflected in Dr. Strangelove’s episode where Colonel “Bat” Guano resists briefly shooting up a Coke machine so they have correct change to call the Pentagon on a pay phone.

Just because you compare two things in your brain and then type them does not make them true or even relative.

I read in Sunday’s paper the the largest % of immigrants coming into the US are Chinese and NOT hispanics (now that may mean LEGAL immigrants…………….) and that there is a decrease in golf playing at the the Myrtle Beach courses (I don’t chase a little white ball around so it is of no real consequence to me but I was not surprised to learn that golf participation has peaked)
I have posted many times the movers & shakers of the “Great State of South Carolina” would sell thier mother’s grave if they could make a profit from it. So I’m not surprised that this is happening.
Anyhoo….
it’s a global economy/world sweetie———–get over it. Take Spainish and/or Mandrian lessons and you will be ahead of the game. The numbers are not on your side.
Get back to fawning over some damn Palmetto tree or low country swamp/marsh.

“Restrictions,Regulations and red tape strangled business and they moved elsewhere.
I’m calling “Bullshit” on that premise.
i guess it was all those “restrictions,regulations and red tape” that caused the mills in New England to move to the southern Piedmont a little under 100 years ago wasn’t it???
Truth is business go where they can make a better profit – plain and simple and I’m not knocking that – that’s capitalism 101.
That is just the way capitalism works – again; plain and simple
Throw in shifts in population and demographics and “wham-bam- thank you mamn”
That’s it in a nut shell – plain and simple
Go back to waxing poetic over some damn Palmetto tree or low country swamp/marsh/whatever…………
You just might be able to do something about saving a tree here or there but that’s about as far as it will go.
