"A lot of people saw that as a military threat," Albaugh said. "I didn't. I saw it more as an economic threat....
It is both.
My prediction is that the Chinese will walk on the moon before we launch an American into orbit again in a U.S. spacecraft."
This is the change guys.
Intellectual disarmament is a direct result of moral disarmament. ;-/
The Chinese are discovering Capitalism while our leaders are taking us into the dark ages of Socialism through the exploitation of our education system and robbery of our citizens in order to redistribute the wealth into a black hole. Unions do not dictate China’s economic policies as they do her. They also are not going bankrupt.
From the ‘intellectuals’ at Harvard to Section 8 housing, philosophically there isn’t much difference. They’ll never understand American Exceptionalism. Oh how I hate this pres-ent and his kind.
Quite sobering but not surprising, since the World Community Organizer-In-Chief has all but designated NASA as a Muslim outreach center.
There is no one whose a** we can’t kick if we quit trying to commit national suicide. This, however, won’t always be true it we get too far away from what our strengths are.
People need to remember why we have locks on our doors. Unfortunately we don’t live in an altruistic world, and others will take what we have if we let them. I trust us, as a nation, to be fair and charitable to the world. I don’t trust the world to be that way toward us. If we fall, they won’t pick us up.
like no one saw this coming, except those in the field...
and the members of congress.
why do i say congress? i know for a fact that this exact scenario was laid out in 1998 when the H1-b bill was passed. it was laid out to members of 5 different congressional offices by at least one person.
me
they knew this was coming.
they knew the obvious impact.
they didn’t care and continue to work against the best interests of Americans.
why is it we’re not able to hold them liable for damages done? since when did they become above the law?
That's probably the only sensible thing this gov't. has done. He's upset that his company won't as easily get the plum space contracts. He'll have to compete with smaller, less-expensive firms.
We’ve got an intellectly disarmed president. Whadda ya expect?
Real education, as opposed to union sanctioned daycare, makes some kids feel bad. So kids graduate from college who cannot read and we are surprised the Chinese are eating our lunch?
Remember all the cost savings from firing rightsizing outsourcing offshoring all those jobs belonging to middle-aged white males?
Guess what.
They went and told their kids, don't bother with science or technology: you'll have to study too hard in school for maybe a ten-year career, having to retire when you're forty, forty-five, tops.
And the Universities took the hint and accepted mainly womyn into Greivance Studies programs; allowing mainly foreigners into the STEM classes in the sacred name of "Diversity." White males need not apply.
You and the entire cadre of C-level executives starting from the mid-eighties should be hung and your families' wealth confiscated. Your wives and children should be sentenced to begging scraps for a living.
It's what you did to an entire generation of white male US citizens.
And now you have the nerve to look surprised.
Cheers!
Heh, heh. Intellectual disarmament. I gotta remember that one.
Aside from Indians, who do have a democratic country with a rapidly expanding economy to go back to, I don’t know of too many high-tech immigrants who wish to go back to their home countries.
