You guys seem pretty confident in your assertions. I'm sincerely curious how you reach those conclusions given a number of variables, including demographic & economic factors. How about we go through a logic test to establish where you stand and how you got there?
Do you agree or disagree that California, the west coast (OR/WA) and mountain states (NV/CO) represent the trend line for the USA as a whole? I'm going to assume that you agree, otherwise I can see we're going to have a problem with you further explaining yourselves. Alright, so as it stands, these states represent about 18%+- of the population - California alone is 12%.
Next, which articles posted at FR and other conservative forums seem to be most prevalent? Could it be the homeless problem? What about income differentials? Maybe illegal immigration springs to mind? And of course, I hope no is attempting to dispute that these regions are - and will continue to be - the premier technological R & D constituencies not only in the US, but globally as well.
Alrighty then, let's add up all these culturally dominant factors, and ask ourselves: who exactly is going to be developing future US technical goods & services? I assume you've read (or are least familiar with the Bell Curve), so I will further assume you realize that hispanics have a collective IQ of 92. (And this was 25 years ago before the flood of even less intelligent peasants.)
Exactly who is going to be stealing from whom? And what makes this really interesting, is that as the Chinese & Indians so thoroughly dominate Silicon valley hiring pools, who exactly is the originator? Our new citizens from south of the border?
Guys like you really have me scratching my head, because we have situations like Navy ships continuing to hit others, odd & perverse diversity hires & promotions, and continuing erosion to US security methods and procedures. Yet somehow, someway, the mythical US will continue to be the leading source both technology development and deployment? Something doesn't compute, and my thinking is you guys are simply practicing wishful thinking.
Smart money knows it's gonna be more significant than simple blanket statements of faith.
I don’t see one iota of anything that I’ve written in this post! I don’t see myself as a “guys like you” to which you are referring.
