Kill the Department of Education
seriously. Returning all education responsibility to (and funding from) the States will have many benefits.
It will first of all pop the massive, government-funded debt bubble designed to funnel all students into 4 year liberal arts colleges. This is another progressive scam that simply winds up benefiting a major leftist voting bloc while tying down American youth with massive debt. Pop the debt bubble and university tuition rates will crash.
Secondly, having all funding coming from the states, will give some incentive to experiment with other education or apprenticeship programs.
Apply tariffs at the border to equalize costs American manufacturers incur complying with environmental and labor laws imposed on them by the Federal govt. Why should American workers be out of their jobs because a Communist country is willing to pollute their land and poison their slaves?
Went to Walmart, found a quality Made in USA whisk broom for $4.98, and it came with a dust pan too.
They did that to a small arts and crafts company next door to us . The owner had invested in new production equipment to meet WalMarts request for expanded production. According to WalMart, the Asian supplier was supplying finished shed goods for less than our neighbor's raw materials cost.
The debt load they took on to meet promised WalMart product demand killed the 40 year old company when WalMart abruptly cancelled its contracts in favor of the Asian rip off company.
WalMart did generously offer to buy all the patterns and IP for pennies on the dollar to send to the Asian rip off company
Instead, the owner moved everything out into an open field behind their shop and burned it right in front of the f’n WalMart buyers nose.
That’s rich.
Wal-Mart is directly responsible for Rubber Made and other companies opening plants in China.
In the case of Rubber Made Wal-Mart sent them a pricing sheet telling Rubber Made what they would pay for each item.
Each item was quoted BELOW production costs.
Rubber Made said no.
Overnight Wal-Mart pulled every item made by Rubber Made off store shelves and cancelled all orders.
Only took the suits at RM two days to cave. They had to open off shore plants just to satisfy WM.
Sam Walton died in 1992 and his kids started destroying their suppliers jobs soon after.
One of the many reasons I will not shop at Wal-Mart.
`”... available, qualified workforce...”
How much do they want to pay? My son has a 2 year Associate of Science degree in technology with a very high grade point average. He’s a talented machinist and TIG welder with 3 years of job experience. He can do manual machining or set up, program and run a CNC mill. He can lay out parts in CAD and run them through the CAM system. Makes $18. an hour. If it weren’t for mandatory overtime, he wouldn’t be able to make ends meet.
Where does he want to work?
Great suggestion !
From related threads
In fact, note that President Thomas Jefferson had officially indicated that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution to grant the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate educational purposes before the feds could do so, something that the states have never done.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
So federal funding for intrastate schools, typically dependent on unconstitutional federal requirements, is arguably state revenues which the corrupt feds are stealing from the states in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes according to the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above.
Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!
Remember in November 2018 !
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitutions Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal governments powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal governments limited powers shown in this post.
Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!
Best advice: Sell NOTHING to Wal-Mart.
All they will do is beat the company down to near Chinese level prices, then illegally violate intellectual property rights and buy the Chinese goods even cheaper.
He’s considering places in central to northwestern part of Virginia at present.
Do you have names for cities in those areas?
Kill the Dept of Ed
Kill the Dept of Labor. Let states compete on wages, hours, working conditions. Any new factory will be heavily computerized and totally different from the factories on which our obsolete labor laws are based.
Kill the EPA and other job killing agencies. Let each state regulate its own plowed fields and endangered species.
Technical training is needed! We need each state and each employer free to experiment. The fact is we do not know what will work in 2018 or 2025.
We do know that there is desperate need for people who can do 8th grade math. We need people who understand the simple concept of the role of a numerator and a denominator in math.
Leesburg, Sterling, Chantilly, Centreville, Manassas, Gainesville, Warrenton, Stafford, Fredericksburg.
I have a recommendation for WalMart and other brick and mortar retail.
Do better at advertising price against their online competitors. A shopping basket in my mind absolutely has to beat the shipping costs of each of those items handled, packaged, and shipped separately to an individual front door.
Insure that your warehouse + shipping + outlet work force be no larger than the online competitors’ warehouse + shipping.
That is really pathetic for someone with those skills. I was a skilled tradesman making a little more than $18/hr.,but it was on a commission basis & wasn’t kept busy or cheated in other ways,so that was not only not paying off,but was getting worse all the time. It wasn’t that wages are so poor,it’s just that they are not commensurate with the prices we all have to pay.
I’ve seen that very thing done to a company for which I worked. Walmart should never be trusted, and wise people need to stay clear of them.
Twelve - you left off gymnastics!
