Lots of spin and anecdotal rubbish.

... but if its true, then you must refute it. You can't refute it, can you? Well, then you lose.

The companies' execs wanted to play with manipulating stock prices instead of actually managing the plants and business,

Sit right on down and let me teach you about the corporate board. Their salaries are based on improving stock prices. The board doesn't manage the plants; they have managers for that.

and when they fucked up they run around sniveling about unions' and 'da govt.',

Well, they griped about the unions and the oppressive government regulations because they were killed by the combination of the union cancer and the crushing weight of the government regulations.

The execs are only interested in next quarter's stock prices

Now you are starting to get it. Worrying about next quarter's stock prices IS THEIR JOB.

, it's how they get paid,

Good. Good. Keep it up.

and fuck the long term consequences

Nope. If that means bad stock prices in upcoming quarters, they won't do it. Their salaries will take huge hits.

of their bad management decisions.

They fire the managers who made bad management decisions.

Manufacturing doesn't work like banking does, period.

Don't they both try to make a profit?

Industrial capital isn't financial capital;

Thrill me with your capital acumen. Start with how financial cash and financial real estate differ from industrial cash and real estate.

they work entirely different ways.

Then explain to me the entirely different ways that industrial cash and real estate work with respect to financial cash and real estate.

One is parasitical, the other is based on genuine productivity.

Your Marxism has you gibbering. Please just jump to how we'd be so much better off without fiat currency or petroleum and natural gas.

How long until the planet is destroyed by Global Warming?

Point me to the post No. where you define "free markets". BRICS is attempting fair trade but there's no such thing in the western system.

Do you really not know how to use a dictionary? What a dumbass question.

When it comes to trade, you’re dead right: “free trade” is a fairy tale we haven’t seen since forever, if ever. Go ahead, name one country that doesn’t slap U.S. companies with a steel-toed boot while their firms waltz into our market like it’s a Black Friday sale. Save your breath, there’s not a single one. We’ve been played for suckers, sold down the river by spineless, greedy politicians on both sides. And yet, the TDS-afflicted dimwits can’t see past their unhinged meltdowns to admit it.

Enter Trump, the first and only president with the guts to untangle this mess, setting our economy up to roar like it should, unhindered by libtard schemes to drag us into second-rate status.

For reasons only their therapy sessions could unpack, progressives despise America’s unrivaled economic and military might, itching to dim our shine as the beacon for freedom-loving nations.

You libtard dumbasses almost tanked us, but you fell short. Now, suck it up and watch as your woke wonderlands lag further behind, you know, the U.K., France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, Canada, etc. proving once again what’s crystal clear: free market capitalism is the undisputed champ for delivering liberty and prosperity to the masses. Meanwhile, your left-wing fever dreams are a one-way ticket to a dystopia where elites hoard the gold and the rest of us are stuck scrubbing their thrones.

A free market is one where voluntary sale occurs with a mutually agreed upon price. It is part of capitalism. You cannot kill the free market. It's immortal.

Random words. No apparent coherency.

 

[Into the Night]

Empire will never allow free trade. The world has to use the dollar or we will bomb them into the stone age.

Free trade occurs even in the most oppressive of nations. You can't kill it.
The U.S. is not an empire. Go learn what 'empire' means.

Again, empire will never allow free trade. Empire is sovereign, every other nation must pay into it.

Nailed it with that reply.

Hilarious you brought up that planet question, an earlier comment brought the 12-year doomsday clock those climate cultists keep winding to mind. I checked, and shocker, we’ve got less than six years before the grand finale. So, better scribble your apocalypse bucket list quick, because time’s flying faster than a private jet to a Bernie rally.

And let’s give a slow clap for Trump, that dastardly fiend who ripped us out of the “save the planet” charade just to troll the polar bears and make the green zealots run for their safe spaces. He obviously doesn't care about the end of the world.

The Al Gore planetary doom date ... has already passed ... without any changes having occurred.

Well, you know that THE THREAT is real, and is confirmed by THE DATA. That'll teach me to trust physics and math; they all say that this Global Warming crap is not possible. What do they know, right?
