Link to WEF globalization definition.
Accumulation of global power.

Trump came in to destroy that.

Globalization is an effort by big companies to expand their profits by shifting production to low wage slave countries/territories. Cheap electricity. Cheap labor

Lesson 1
Its about profits at the end of the day.
So, drumphgtps wanted to stop American companies from making "profit"?

Can you see why he lost the election in a nation that survives on profit making?

America was almost self sufficient before WW2. They made bolts, nuts and tiles.
Here is your problem. Clinton gave China a favored status at the WTO. Their taxes are those of a developing nation
A capitalist will obviously switch to China slave labor.

Let me put it this way. You have minimum wage negotiated by unions. Of course this raises production.
No it does not "of course raise production!

There is no law that says paying you more, or less, will make you work any more efficiently to cover the increase in wages! What it raises is cost of production. I'm of course working on the assumption the union does not negotiate a wage decrease.

basilico:
If you can get a developing country to ship your production you immediately do it.
And who will you ship your inflated products too, developing countries like Nigeria or Venezuela that can not afford your production at your current wages, or developing countries like China and India that are developing their own?

Don't you understand why Biden's inflation is a serious problem?

basilico:
The country you prefer has a grievance with the rest of the world having been the premier power for centuries .
They have huge population and land and cheap labor.
Which "country you prefer", basilico, do you ship your production to immediately? Is it the developing country that can not afford your production or the developing country that is developing its own? And if you have grievances with a country, why are you doing business with them?

MSN would likely make you miss the point which you can easily confirm with a search.

In 2018, the Air Force awarded Boeing a contract worth $3.9bn to manufacture two 747s to replace the current Air Force One aircraft, which are based on the 747-200B and have been used since the 1990s. The building of the planes is facing delays caused by supply chain issues and a disagreement between Boeing and a subcontractor as well as a shortage of qualified mechanics, according to the Government Accountability Office.

Americans can only keep their standard of living thanks to cheap labour inputs into production in the far East. Break that and there will be great suffering in America..
Inflation, to begin with, as cost of local production (labour) increases, and then a depression as their products would cost too much and make them uncompetitive. That's the same reason you buy China, basilico. It's cheap enough for you to afford.

Ibime:
I believe we are seeing some of those stresses in Global Supply Chain especially in China over the pandemic eat into standards of living.
Yes we are. China closes its production centres and prices are inflated around the world. But even before that, production decreased because of assumed loss of demand (and extra labour costs like employee protection), and the need to restructure how business was done, so China cut back on energy purchase due to assumed production reductions which turned out to be a very wrong assumption as the western supposed capitalist world turned socialist by hugely stimulating the economy with Adam Smith's helicopter money. Then you got energy sellers, Saudi, Qatar, Venezuela, Nigeria, etc, seeing this as their time after almost a decade of begging buyers to please buy, now in the powerful position of scarcity so choosing whom to sell to at inflated prices.

Ibime:
You can't pay an American $15/hr and still buy three boxer shorts for $5 or headphones for $5 for example.
Basilico, this is why your boxers are made in China and not America. Even America's Walmart and Target and Apple etc sell made in China.

You know globalism exists. No problem with that because most the stuff I buy is Chinese origin. Globalism is terrible to me when those in political positions use it to grab power.
Trump wanted a return to America manufacturing everything. The big boys want a cheap source probably slave labour to manufacture the products they are selling to the world.
I wont bill you for this lesson,
So, drumptgh wanted to abandon the Globalisation that America has championed from since World War One, and the supposed "big boys" were against him for profit reasons because they use their profit to "grab power"? After all, "cheap source probably slave labour to manufacture the products they are selling to the world" is for profit, right?

So, what's your problem. Doesn't one need profit to grab the power drumpghtp grabbed with profit? You do know APC charged 100million naira for their presidential candidate form, which is no small profit. And yes, profit includes theft and embezzlement, and legitimate business profit.

Tell me, bas. Who has grabbed the power, your "big boys", or China's "big boys"?

Any one remember the Rwanda genocide? This is the sort of rhetoric that began it.

Imagine if we'd gone to decimate Fulani and cow when they were the rage only to find out now that the unknown criminals were mostly from amongst ourselves.

Can any amount of Islamisation make you or anyone abandon your Bible?

babasolution:
Southerners keep crying islamization, southern Kaduna dying under so called islamization, plateau, Benue etc,now yorubaland. Oh pls give me a break,the men of Nigeria are weak,there's no other country will people who know there enemies will seat back and be killed like mosquitos.what's the essence of being a man when you can't protect your family?

The solution is the LORDs resistance army
This is what Ugandan men created when the were being decimated by Islamist.

A Christian based army should be created then go for all out decimation of your enemies.

No president will save you,Peter obi will not save you,tunde bakare can't save you.

Take a cue from the old testaments.be like the David's of old.

Decimate your enemies,nobody can save your except your self.

You're engaged in barefaced lying. That's is it.

The evidence is there for everyone to see that you brought in your subjectivity which has no bearing on the topic to derail the conversation I was having with Lordreed.
I've said you use words without knowing their meaning, I think.

Your thoughts and opinions and what you called "facts that you expressed, are subjective, triple, so why can you bring in your own subjectivity but then say I shouldn't?

Sorry I could not read more than the above for now, but so you don't miss it:

You just want to condemn other people's opinion as not good enough to show you know it all. Something you have accused me of.
I am not condemning your opinion, triple. I am delighted you have one and could express it. Nor have I accused you of condemning anyone's opinion either because I don't think you condemned anyone's opinion. You just got frustrated when your opinion was not accepted as one's opinion is all. And you did make assumptions, which is not a fault since we are laypeople talking about a subject neither of us is an expert on, just that you seem to want to insist that your assumed opinion and perspective is the only opinion or perspective that could be assumed, and when you are not agreed with you are throwing a tantrum.

My own perspective or opinion is well expressed in this thread and in many others, but if you have specific questions about it please do ask and I will very gladly express it as well as I can.

I already admitted not knowing it all. No one knows it all, I said so at the beginning.

So, you failed again, because I just took my time to let everyone see how you derailed the conversation with your Rosicrucian nonsense which I said I don't need.

And,old man please respect yourself. I don't need you mental tricks . Use it on those around you. You're comprehensively insane for suggesting I am not using my mind.


I am for freedom of thoughts and expression. If you don't like my thoughts fell free to reject it. I boldly stated so at the beginning, so I don't understand why you're bent on painting me differently.

Is it not about time you visited a professional?
Triple, I have huge regard for you but think you've painted a scenario in your head and are running away with it. And of course you think it is I who has been doing the painting. Thankfully, this thread is about the body that has a mind, which everyone reading possesses, so it's very unlikely those who read it would not see who has been painting since they'll use their own minds.

First, I know you use your mind. That is why I am amused that you seem to rate mind use so lowly by claiming it is not the judge of all things because it is not perfect. I did ask what should be used instead but you evaded the question.

Second. If, as you claim, do not know it all - and neither do I, as pointed out with my reference to my ignorance of my village not to talk of my state or my country; but if, as you've repeatedly accused me of knowing more and hiding it, why are you not asking and seeking and knocking for more knowledge instead of being offended when others see it different?

No one knows all of anything, not to talk of the mind that is about unknowable as the beginning of the universe. We are all here to exchange our opinions are consider reactions to it with our minds so we may learn and grow and evolve. I hope.

Third. This forum is for freedom of expression of thought. You simply register and post whatever you thought. Other people will then freely express their own thoughts on what your thought you expressed. It's what you did. You saw a thread with a title that interested you and you expressed your thought on it. Your expression was then read and thought was freely expressed on it. But here you are being defensive and insulting because thoughts were freely expressed on your freely expressed thoughts! Personally, I'm glad you freely expressed your thoughts. Pity though, that you believe what you think.

Triple, you so love making crap up in your head to believe. Who told you the expression, 'Jesus is a scientist', that I made up with my very own mind, is a Rosicrucian perspective?

Please know that I do not consider you ignorant. Just that you think you know it all and are not open to other perspectives. Nor do you use your powerful mind as you ought to as you think it is fallible and prone to error, which is actually a human trait, science or not, though sense users are more likely to reduce error by the method they rigourously train themselves to use.

Regarding the bolded, I was deliberately trying mental tricks on you to make you use your mind! I can not be claiming the mind is so valuable then be trying to throw confusion into your mind to stop you using it. That would be like turning you into an ignorant Adam as opposed to use her senses Eve whom I value much more and have been advocating should be emulated. No one here is so mindless that they would let buda be their controller.

And an apology is not required of you.

triplechoice:
I and Lordreed were enjoying a matured conversation before you jumped in with your warped Rosicrucian perspective of science and the use of the senses.

In the context of scientific discourses everyone knows what the words, science and the senses refers to and not your own subjectivity.Besides I wasn't presenting any scientific theory, but just reference sciences to support some of my arguments.

You never directly responded to the things I wrote, but misconstrued them deliberately to force in your Rosicrucian nonsense of jesus being a scientist, Rosicrucian misinterpreted Bible verses, and the other trash which is not my focus on this thread.


I was trying to be diplomatic and not uncloth you ,so you use that your "senses" you know very well to use to drop that and keep focus, but just like a robot you continued.

Later ,you lied that I said logic means evidence when I never said so.

Maybe you believe as you are told in your organization that non initiates are ignorant, so because of that continued with you nonsense ignorantly thinking you're dealing with a novice.

I don't belong and represent any secret organization here. I have bought my own freedom the hard way. I am on my own.

I don't need any individual or organization to infiltrate my mind to control it as you have been doing on this board

I am not also interested in controlling any ones mind, hence the disclaimer I issued at the beginning.

So ,you're very much guilty of what you're accusing of.

You brought the current situation between Lordreed and I ,,so after reflecting I am using this medium to apologize to him for some of my outbursts which were not necessary.
But for you, the puppet master, Rosicrucian manipulator, I don't need to accord you that ,you don't deserve it at all.
You were deliberately trying mental tricks on me to throw confusion into my mind to stop me.

I fully aware that you're here to suppress certain truths, so that the public don't know what you know,so you can continue your manipulation unnoticed and have them finally submitting their brains to you for control.

You should be concern about freeing your self as you're in bondage and you don't know it.

Maintain your lane as I don't need your Rosicrucian viruses. And if you don't discontinue this ,I will be forced to make a formal report to your organization, except you're no longer there, then there will be alternative action to take to end this undue interference into my personal space.

Thank you.

You may have evidence, but we are informing you that all you've presented here is information, at best, and we are considering it with our senses which includes our minds, and we are not convinced of your claim.

That is how science works. You present evidence for your claim or theory or belief, and we your peers, use our senses to scientifically consider what you've presented to either falsify or truthify it.

Or rather, we are calling for evidence for what you claim but you are asking us to just believe you, because you supposedly have powers to influence people's minds.

I never said logic is evidence. I said there are logical truths which can be taken as evidence, not scientific evidence.
I think you use words with no consideration of their general meaning. You have not provided anything here that I would consider a logical truth. What you done is assert your view and insist it is so, which, as you see, is rightly being considered.

You do expect me to use my senses instead of merely believing you, right?

Logical truths are generally considered to be necessarily true. This is to say that they are such that no situation could arise in which they could fail to be true. The view that logical statements are necessarily true is sometimes treated as equivalent to saying that logical truths are true in all possible worlds. However, the question of whether any statements are necessarily true remains the subject of continued debate.

You and Lordreed seem not to know the difference between scientific evidence and just evidence. They are not the same.
"Just evidence", lol. Would that be the sort of evidence daughter presents claiming she is a boy and the sort made up in one's own head and believed?

Triple, evidence is evidence. The "scientific" is just to denote going through what you called "rigorous training", and I say, to use one's senses, to consider the evidence.

triplechoice:
Evidence can be a body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid, while scientific evidence is evidence that serves to support or counter a scientific theory or hypothesis.
Triple, this is why I went layperson on you. You called it a red herring and completely missed the point.

Facts and information can be true or false, just as a scientific theory or hypothesis can be right or wrong. In fact, scientific theory or hypothesis is simply a thing one believes until one has asked and knocked and sought for facts and information and evidence that either proves the belief or scientific theory or hypothesis to be true or not.

It's like Adam believed he would die so he remained ignorant and enslaved instead of using his mind while Eve used her mind to gather information which she scientifically tested to see if she would die or not.

Got to say, love how you wuruwurued that last bit of yours. Must have taken you time to convince yourself you meant it

triplechoice:
Have I been proposing a scientific theory? No
Indeed no, you have not been proposing a scientific theory. What you have been doing is present "facts and information" and then ask us not to use our rigourously trained senses to scientific analyse what you've presented.

What I have been doing is to provide a body of information which I am exposed to, to support what I have come to accept as truth.
And that's perfectly ok, though we've established that your exposure was read in a book and a daughter told you, but you've also been insisting that we accept as truth the body of information which you have been exposed to" without exposing the body of information which you have been exposed to to us so we can consider it with our own senses, which you've insisted are fallible anyway and should not be used to consider the body of information that you have provided.

I'll ask again, do you expect me to use my senses or should I just believe you?
