The Rise And Fall Of America

I think you underestimate the animosity felt by north koreans toward the south and by taiwanese toward the chinese. East and west germany was a mainly governmental split, and the reunification was inevitable. I think an end to north korean isolationism is likely. The economic ramifications of that is anyone's guess, I think mainly it would benefit the north koreans, God knows those people are suffering.

You're probably right. Will see! In 5 to 10 years time.
 
O

Obama was clueless with the economy. If there is anything good to say about the man it is that he was aware enough to let others tell him what to do.
Problem is those he asked were clueless ..still are ...10 trillion later!

@volpi I'm still waiting for you to take me up on my offer to meet and talk about how the businesses you've started and your time in the military have led you to a different viewpoint on economics and leadership. I'm happy to come by your company as well, I travel a lot so I'll probably be in your area wherever that is. Come on now, you're the one who's all about "the real world" and "common sense", let's talk about what a successful capitalist you are and your vast leadership "real world" experience and where I went so wrong with my socialist leftist bad for America ways.

Somehow I suspect you're the type who cowards out when someone calls his bluff and comes up with some bullshit excuses, but hopefully I'm wrong and I await your PM.
 
ROFLMAO just keep waiting. I won't be coming nor will I invite you. But I will say have a good time and profitable time trading the trump rally! If you can stand it, that is. So, you do admit to your socialist leftist leanings eh?

And that's because you've the ultimate armchair quarterback who's never touched a football. You've actually achieved nothing in the business world and have no education in economics or business or even statistics, but know everything about how it should be based on your "real world" experience and "common sense". And you reflexively call anyone who dares point out the vacuity of your opinions, which are based on jack shit and hence worth jack shit, a "socialist" or "leftist". Despite the fact that they're far more accomplished capitalists than you've ever been or at this rate ever will be.

As I said, I do hold out hope you can one day learn to learn, listen, and have the humility to know what you don't know. Clearly today isn't that day though.

I'll leave you with a Teddy Roosevelt (A great Republican who would be appalled by the likes of you) quote that quite eloquently describe armchair quarterbacks like you:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
