Not bad for a country with millions of people lacking basic necessities and a new progressive Government trying to do its best to turn the country around. FOXCONN is the company that manufactures iphones for Apple. If they help SONY set up manufacturing it will be a boom with millions of jobs.
Here Congress is more worried about same sex marriages, confederate flags, abortions, endless and meaningless hearings on phony scandals, immigration, religious freedom and ZERO time for real problems like JOBS for Americans.http://www.businessinsider.in/After-Apple-Xiaomi-Sony-to-Make-in-India-via-Foxconn/articleshow/47924389.cm
The day the Confederate Flag came down in South Carolina the FBI concludes it was THEIR error that allowed the shooter of the Emanuel-9 to purchase the gun in which to do it with.
Everyone is so a-flutter with a goddamn flag being taken down the fact that an incompetently handled background check by the FBI seems to garner no indignation from the anti-gun crowd. But THEY'RE sure as hell are going to keep screaming for more background checks and laws.
Maybe the next mass shooting can be assuaged by paying reforations to native Americans while the gun grabbers seek to legislate mandatory liability insurance for gun owners. The Federal Reserve banks as well as the Insurance Industry will be absolutely gitty over the further increase in American debt as well as the flood of money from law abiding gun owners forced into purchasing insurance.
This purging of all things Confederacy related really is akin to the Stalin tactic of removing all hints of speech, people, ideas that don't agree with the current regime.
Do you people on the left really believe that removing the flag and taking down a few statues is really going to achieve racial harmony?
Admittedly a very outside perspective, but to me the confederate flag is an awful lot like a beanie hat on a Bengal tiger - a harmless adornment on something far more dangerous. It doesn't actually do anything itself, but it's still closely associated with something that can do a great deal of harm.
At the same time, I completely understand the reasoning for wanting it to be removed, because as harmless as that adornment is, it is symbolic to many people of the core issue at hand, which won't and can't be resolved overnight. I view it more as an indication that some in government are at least receptive to the idea that changes need to be made as the current social situation appears to be growing increasingly frayed, and this is perhaps the lowest-impact action that could be taken while still appearing to take action.
In essence, baby steps, or at least an acknowledgement that baby steps are necessary, is how the whole removing the flag issue appears to me.
and in the South removing all vestiges of the Confederacy is simply impossible, all the effort required would be much rather spent trying to do something that mattered, like getting people who have been on welfare (both black and poor white trash alike) for generations. Being disenfranchised by not having a reason to get up in the morning creates more hate that a thousand Confederate flags.
BTW I am a Non white person who has lived in the South for decades although I was born in raised in one of the most liberal places in the country, San Francisco. Speaking as a minority in the South, the symbolism is completely lost on me, I don't get any feelings of outrage when seeing the flag, anymore than an American would get upset over a Union Jack flying at a British pub. I have a lot more important things to worry about than a flag flown by the losing side of a war 150 years ago
