balthasar··on Where Warren’s Wrong
If it makes more sense to keep these tech giants as conglomerates then there exists other methods of using the resources more economically. For instance lowering their transfer payments(raising taxes on their activities in classical economics.)

balthasar··on Quietly, Japan has established itself as a power in the aerospace industry
I am not particularly informed on European aerospace and I am not disputing your point. As a historical note France was very economically competitive mid-50s - 60s but had troubling competing after that.
balthasar··on How hustle culture took over advertising
The employees still deserve to be respected and allowed to live normal lives outside of this corporate "hustler culture."
balthasar··on Amazon Workers Facing Firing Can Appeal to a Jury of Their Co-Workers
It is a system that isn't just, impartial or fair? Isn't that the point of appointing jurors.
balthasar··on Google de-emphasizes 'Don't Be Evil' motto in its code of conduct
More of a marketing phrase than a code of conduct. Google realizes the sham is up so there is no use pretending anymore.

balthasar··on China’s web censors go into overdrive as President Xi Jinping consolidates power
An unsubstantiated claim doesn't require a well researched counter. The suggestion to do research is just that a suggestion. I find that when dealing with posts written by people who are uninformed or have the intention of misinformation that it is important to point out that the issue is contested. If someone is lying then a bit of research will prove that and we can all be in agreement. If the subject isn't worth bothering with then my accusation surely can't be bothered with either.

Yes all socialist governments are doomed to fail. Every leftist thinker has the IQ of a five year old(starting to like this meme). Thank you for adding nothing to the conversation.

We both can agree that the pdvsa is incredibly corrupt and post Chavez politics have been a shit show. Whether this is a necessary result from nationalization is not an easily answered question but I'm glad you actually voiced an opinion on the issue besides just nationalization is bad. Cheers.

Sorry I'm just trying to understand the five year old's argument. "Their economy was mostly oil, they seized assets of oil companies extracting it." Who is "they" in this sentence and how was all this inevitable?
balthasar··on China’s web censors go into overdrive as President Xi Jinping consolidates power
Indeed nationalization of national resources as an explanation of economic collapse is something a five year old would say.

What is the link between Chavez's policies and Venezuela's current economic condition?
balthasar··on China’s web censors go into overdrive as President Xi Jinping consolidates power
Chavez did none of these things. Is your knowledge of history so shallow that you must bring up Hitler appro to nothing every chance that you get?

I wouldn't be so quick to write them off. A large percentage of the world respects the Chinese government which usually acts in their own economic interest is stable over the long term. Whereas in the US the government does nothing but enact poor economic and social policies as well as saber rattling or war every time a right wing president is elected.

Typo there with Chavez? Democratically elected and rose the quality of life of Venezuela.

Exactly "systemic" changes. Changes relating to the system you are in.
