Even with javascript turned off, they don't let people read for free. Oh well.
However .... I have no faith in this writer. Went and looked at the titles to the rest of his articles, they are stupid.
"Can China make its people happy ?" -- is this guy a moron ? Does he walk in the streets, go to work, have girlfriends, go out eating horse dick and sheep balls with the guys ? play mah jiang ? go to ktv ? eat ? drink ? is he blind, deaf, and stupid ? In my experience, Chinese people are happier than Americans, maybe similar to BC Canadians, and definitely more socially skilled.
Much more socially adept, in fact. Happy ? Christ, the average noodle shop owner is happier than Bill Gates - and we won't even mention turtleface Mitch McConnel.
"Will China be the next world leader" -- obviously. 1.4 billion people, much bigger than the US and as of now, much smarter. A better question would be, does the world actually
need "leaders" ? and does the Chinese government want to be anyone's "leader" ? From what I have seen over 30 years upclose and personal, they don't really care that much about the rest of the world. They want their own place to be coolaroonie and to not be bullied. If the rest of the world wants to follow, that's fine. if they don't, that's fine too. To them China is the center of the universe, the rest of you can imitate or go pound sand if you like, no skin off their nose.
"Can robots offset China's population decrease?" -- another stupid stupid stupid question, a followon to that retarded infinite-growth crap that the so-called "economists" of the world peddle. Does this twat have a single functioning brain cell in his head ? The world worked fine --
better -- when there were a lot fewer people. Anything that reduces the population is
good but these dipshit twelve-babies-per-family nitwits just can't get that small fact through their thick skulls.
About bearings ... what does this dickcheese know about bearings ? He's a writer for a newspaper. A high-school level writer, at that. I've spent months in association with a plant manager for Kaydon, and a specialty bearing designer in Los Angeles. When those guys have comments, I listen. In some cases, they should listen to me instead, the aiyi running one of them out of the country with false 'broken marriage promise' claims had me in stitches
I
told him how to behave but oh noes, he's from Ohio (and a Republican, sigh), he knew what he was doing ... this is kind of a problem with you guys. You think you know everything, when the truth is you don't really know shit. Most of the world is not Ohio, or Kansas, or even San Francisco.
China ain't the US. It was hilarious, but along the way, want to hear some stories about US bearing failures ? Helicopters falling out of the sky because of bean-counter decisions, for instance ? Screwups are not limted to one country. And SKF, *********, NSK, those guys all have factories in Ningbo. If you have a problem with junk, it's because you bought junk. Junk is also available from Detroit .... or was, until Detroit went tits-up.
And the "innovation" magic word ... what a crock. There hasn't been any real "innovation" for the past fifty years. Besides which, pussy has been the same for the past 100,000 years. That's what actually matters, the rest is decoration.
Anyway, I wouldn't believe a word off this shithead's pen. In fact I hope he was one of the so-called journalists they tossed, because he's a worthless ignorant lying prick.
Another thing I wonder about .... what is the deal with these people ? And papers, too ? Does the local press in Zambia send over some high school kid to write about Chicago ? The
Times, the
Post, this
Globe thing .... why ? wtf is their problem ? China is China, they run themselves, they make stuff, they sell stuff, why doesn't the
Times, for example, try to uncover evildoers in Newark instead of worrying about shit halfway round the world that doesn't involve them in any way ? It's like those gossipy old ladies, their husband hasn't had a piece in twenty years but they're all concerned about Mrs Johnson's skirts are too short .... it's fucking stupid and embarrassing.
Self-righteous a bit, aren't we ?
Let's start with prison labor. My shop was across the freeway from San Quentin for several years. I did a fair amount of repair work for -- beter sit down ! -- Prison Industry Authority. They even have a website now ! Here's the first sentence from wikipedia "The California Prison Industry Authority (CALPIA) manages over 100 manufacturing, service, and consumable industries within the 35 California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation(CDCR) institutions."
If "the civilized world" outlawed this a century ago, someone better tell California. And Washington. And I bet most other states.
Oh, but it's
different ! when
we do it !
Yeah. Right.
I've never understood this outrage. These people are in prison for a reason (some of the stories the San Quentin guy told were eye-opening). If the state or feds need stuff, why not let prisoners work ? If you're a prisoner, would you rather sit on your ass in a concrete box all day, or at least get to make $.50/hr and stamp out license plates ? I know which one I'd choose ...
Beyond that, you may not remember chain gangs, but you have
certainly seen the guys in orange jumpers cleaing up along the roads ...
Pot -> kettle, much ?
"Total disregard for human rights" .... like shooting niggers in the back ? Standing on a guy's neck for ten minutes over a supposedly fake $20 ? Blowing people away in their beds because you don't like their politics ? Blasting into
the wrong house and killing anyone on sight because
you fucked up ? then walking away scot-free ? Burning a couple hundred people to death because of an after-the-blaze unsubstantiated rumour that someone, somewhere kissed a sixteen year old ? Patrice Lumumba, Auguste Pinochet, Marcos, Diem, Pahlevi ? You have
such a spotless "human rights" record, both internationally and domestically, I am surprised you can even write those words. I'd be red in the face like a monkey's ass if someone forced me to spout that crap. Have you no shame ?
I'm really like, what's wrong with you people ? Is it because you can't do a damned thing yourselves anymore, like those old hag gossips, so you just hang out in a group swapping nasty lies ? What China does is none of your goddamned business. Maybe straighten out your own screwedup shithole first, then start giving lectures ?
wtf, over ?
