  2. 12:35 well that statement incentivizes complacency. If you are at the top, you dont stay there by claiming eternal victory, you constantly work to reinforce your existing advantages and work to build new ones so that any and all challengers are met and outmatched. The issue if middle-income trap and political legitimacy as driving forces may possibly be true but they are china's domestic issues and as such mostly irrelevant in terms of America's interests in maintaining its supremacy.

  4. @Finn Hansen um china has a lot of ships. The US has what the most advanced fleet of naval toys ever to float on the high seas. By their own admission the chinese are hemmed in, the americans can get at them via multiple routes or ask the Japanese to get a go at it. Remember history, China is still an energy importer and an exprt driven economy with a fleeting consumption boom that wont last courtesy of one-child policy(demographic collapse)

  5. You mean penalties. Penalties for negligence. Fees makes it sound like you can pay them and be done with it, without changing the behavior, The latter being more important for he end result than imposing penalities to the point of bankruptcy.

  12.  @samalenyo  would love to see your face when China collapses under the weight of its own debt. US doesn't have to worry coz its still the investment destination of last resort.

  14. That would've been a more reasonable thing to do.

  15. Better to create something along the lines of a sovereign wealth fund.

  16.  @Charlie43348  not without reason, as Indian, i know my compatriots can be quite hateful and condescending without even trying. India's greatest bane is casteism and the govt's solution to that is positive disc. which alienates everybody else, Incompetance is the name of the game in India.

  17. But everything from vaccination to the internet, to a developed Europe to a wealthy World as it exists today is a direct result of US's cold era policies. The "World" sounds like be an ungrateful brat, without which the US can get by (ongoing localisation trade networks, independant energy markets and single larg3st to consumer market ob the damn planet. )

  20. Diverse companies perform better ? On paper perhaps. Wishful thinking doesnt make something true.
    2
  21.  @djayjp  Japan, Botswana, Morocco, Singapore, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Scandanavian states. These countries seem to be doing rather well without diversity or better yet are doing well because of the lack of it. When you compare Bangladesh with India or Indonesia with Malaysia. Egypt with Ethiopia or Ghana with Nigeria. Diversity works in the West because they started out without it and are wealthy enough and prosperous enough to maintain it, but even then what happens when what little remains gives out. Most western states are too young and their people to idealistic and naive to know the consequences of diversity. Ask India or the Balkans or Iran or the Ethiopians. Cost of diversity is something your successors would wish they wouldn't have had to bear.

  22. Heavy restrictions on unionization was their trump card. Unions were even allowed until the first half of the last decade and even then were heavily restrained. Labour Intensive manufacturing and Skill based manufacturing will not succeed without restrictions on labor activism and industrial unrest. It's what happened in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and now in PRC and Vietnam.

  23. Not really. The state govts are the only ones that can address this properly, no central govt, run by upa or the nda could deal with it anybetter than the other.
    2
  24. You can say the same about South Korea, Japan, China and even Vietnam. Except for the fact that Philippines is much much more ethnically diverse. Authoritarianism cannot can complement excellent leadership as it did in Taiwan , South Korea and Singapore, but it cannot be a substitute for poor leadership. You are conflating the two without understanding neither.

  25. short answer: No long answer: Noooo. If India were a Federal Republic I would hace had some hope. But our very constitution is a frankenstein's monster, Strong states, Weak Centre that is for ghe first time exerting so real pressure with strong push back from the states. It'll take India the another 80 years to get to where China is Now and that ks just the way country is built, when socialistic populism is welded into the constitution with very little regard for common sense or administrative competancy or organizational efficacy. You get India.

  27. 20:30 somehow ? this man is seriously unqualified if he cant see the singular factor that unites all east asian development model at the ground level. A political majority with Ethnolinguistic homogenity. Japan has it, Korea, PRC, Taiwan, S.Korea, Vietnam(they are enroute), Thailand, Malaysia(Bhumiputras). It doesnt guarantee development but it exponentially increases the chances for it.

  28. Plus 20+ states are forced to abide by the edicts of a central govt. people in most states dont even understand their neighbours due to linguistic barriers, India can only survive as a federation, a real one that is.

  30.  @lucacasagrande2456  USA always had an outlet to reduce the effect of multiculturalism. In that most their 'multicultural' immigrants where primarily European thus they were able to create a new Majority on the basis of skin colour. Without a majority like that turmoil is the eventuality. The only group that can even theoretically supplant the whites are the blacks but they still lack the numbers to do so. If you think countries can develop without a majority you seriously need to do some heavy reading on history also look at map every once in a while.

  31. You being a landowner doesn't amount to much you could be a white collar professional who has land to spare thats not the same as a guy making a living off the land like he rancher in the video. Context. That being said I am very much for financially feasible infrastructure projects that can achieve time bound completion. But the issue cited in the video seems to be that there is a deficit in engagement and dialogue with local citizens on the issue. Lot of talking not much in the way of listening. Also Finland is markedly different from state like Wyoming culturally, politically economically and socially.

  32.  @ronblack7870  You don't get it do you. Overhead power lines arent cotton candy machines. This is expensive fixed infrastructure that will remain for decades and decades permanently affecting the nature of land use. You gotta have an attractive package to convince people to part with their land.

  35. The woman who wrote the article in Scientific American was a business ethics professor who never really ran a successfull company let alone preach on Diversity without leading an entire society. If I wanted lessons on diversity I'd just read up on Lee Kuan Yew.

  36. Two back to back warnings. People donot seem like this video.

  37. It's a exceedingly sound advice. You wanna know why the cost of self-righteous delusions backed by legal fictions that inflict damaging costs on companies is in the long term detrimental to the economy. Case in point the Indian govt asked the Supreme court here to be mindful of making idiotic self righteous and short sighted judicial decisions which will have snowballing economic effects un the future. An example of this would be Sri Lanka's ban on fertilizers or Germany phasing out nuclear power plants or The Japanese who realized their mistakes and are going back to nuclear. Actions have consequences and if your first instincts is to make something illegal without understanding it's impact on the wider society's economic and social interests, Then that just makes you a liability.

  38. As a general rule walking in the wrong direction just to satisfy your moralist cravings is not without system killing consequences.

  39.  @djayjp  Yes. When you prioritise one over the other, it is implicitly made mutually exclusive.

  40.  @djayjp  that is true. but often times bad films don't have core ideological flaws as the reason for the failures.

  41. Last time there was no global police the Japanese took that as a challange. The economic prosperity of the the entirety of the east asian rim including the prosperous asean nations is the direct result of US foreign policy for prioritising security over trade. The sheer arrogance with which people belive that the peace everybody experiences is despite US global involvement will come undone once when they leave. You wont know how valuable an eye is until you loose it.if there is no security guarantor the Chinese will treat SEA as it sees fit. And US action in the region has been much more benovolent than the great powers that preceded it. Learn your history or better yet stop inflicting misguided opinions on others.

  42. First reason is that they can afford it. Everything else is downstream from that.

  43.  @hamzamalik9705  not necessarily No maybe some obscure sects within the community, You could say that about the Muslims too and the latter happens on a much more larger scale due to the legislative backing.

  44. Aside from the oil states. Most countries with large women representation in the workforce often tends to have lower fertility rate creating a japanese like baby bust in the long run(urbanisation and high cost of living adds to the challenge). The west is already suffering from this, as will China. No known economic system (not capitalism nor communism) can susrvive in a society where the cohort of retirees are larger than the younger generations(societies literally dying out). Migration seems like a good choice but it creates long term political turmoil by eating into the dominant groups population share. Feminists are right to fear a handmaiden style future, that seems like the only way out of this. Unless conception, gestation and child rearing is seen as a national security/sustainability measure and the state institutes wide scale nurseries and enforces adoption as a rule and incentives a 3 child policy(2.1 is the replacement rate but just as an insurance).

  47. 19:41 in that atmosphere co-located systems are much likely to thrive, Americans have a genuine reason to reshore their manufacturing bases especially with the secure and cheap access to energy that they have.

  48. US is energy independent. What hole do you live in.

  49. 19:34 as always we are too f king late to do anything. even if we had started earlier on our intellectual elites would have found a way to fck it up someway or the other, been doing it since before independance.

  50. Sun doesn't shine at night. Wind is for a lack of better words not strong enough to move the blades everywhere. Coal power plants can be built anywhere. Adaptability is what makes it attractive.
