Is Bain Capital communist owned?
Use them at will.
Good deal.
Good call. Hunter haranguing them paid off.
Ping
I think at some point it’s going to come home to roost that these people in the ME won’t keep taking our script for their oil if they can’t do anything with it. Dollars are like toasters in the 1920’s. We started protecting toasters around 1929. It didn’t turn out to well. But it felt really good at the time of Smoot Hawley to tell all them furners to go to hell. Sure did.
Can someone correct me and give me more details if I am wrong?
You wanted a PLA front group to be co-owners with Bain of a company that does cyber security for the DOD?
Sunbeam made electric doo dads and were the Google of their time. People threw money at them like made in the 20’s. Then when we built to overcapacity (today think deficit) we did the incredibly stupid thing of stopping imports to hasten the draft down of domestic inventories. The Great Depression followed.
Bian partnered with the Chi-com PLA front company to buy 3-Com.
Lou Dobbs is a lunatic crackpot. He's Al Franken without the humor.
I haven’t bought anything retail from 3com for ages. Sounds like another magnavox, something old and out of date and ready to be pawned off on someone else.
I agree. Demagogue egotistical ahole.
Re Dobbs, do we need to enforce immigration laws. To the hilt. But to piss off people already here because you woke up one morning and decided you had enough yard guys smacks of hypocrisy. Let’s enforce the laws and enfranchise the ones here. They are here because we let them in. We were greedy. Now get it organized and slowed down and legal. We need people. We got enough to hold for a while though. Slow it down. the idea was correct just slow it way down.
Eventually American Hispanics are going to help us politically to take over Mexico and Central America all the way to Panama. If you aint growing out as a nation, you’re dying.
Aint nobody taking us. We are adding to our base to take “them”.
Thanks, I thought they were buying a stake in the chinese company, and then were going to by 3com.
It wouldn't have bothered me to much if we started acquiring some of those companies over there, and getting access to their stuff.
That is only part of 3-Coms business. Cybersecurity is another.
Considering the fact that our DOD admit that they have no way to track who makes much of our sensitive military equipment, it should raise alarms automatically but it doesn’t.
Isn’t that kind of what it is. I mean you have encryption and it either works or it doesn’t. Russia has better firewall stuff than us now. Who knows. Just throwing out there that yes it’s good to defend the home economy and especially in the super sensitive areas but dollars have to start to come home or they are going to be totally worthless outside the USA at some point. Then the price of a bbl of oil is going to be astronomical because we don’t make enough of the stuff.
I believe we are buying time to ramp up another form of transportation (battery whatever) that will significantly reduce or dependency on foreign oil. Diesel and electric will make the 100 MPH car a reality in the next 3 years. We are buying time. It’s going to be close. Once the jig is up, our currency could plummet. It’s already 1.5 bucks to a Euro. That bad.
