Immelt suggests something that makes a lot of sense. The US should target countries with resources and establish joint ventures with US firms that add value at the extraction sites. The neocolonialist Chinese have made some very sweet deals for themselves and take raw materials to China for conversion. Why not pursue a policy with value added at the extraction point and create an industrial base that is partially in Latin America and the balance in the US.
Everyone wins with that plan except the Chinese.

Immelt hits out at China and Obama
By Guy Dinmore in Rome and Geoff Dyer in Beijing
Published: July 1 2010 15:19 | Last updated: July 1 2010 20:33
Jeffrey Immelt, General Electric’s chief executive, has launched a rare broadside against the Chinese government, which he accused of being increasingly hostile to foreign multinationals.
He warned that the world’s largest manufacturing company was exploring better prospects elsewhere in resource-rich countries, which did not want to be “colonised” by Chinese investors. “I really worry about China,” Mr Immelt told an audience of top Italian executives in Rome, accusing the Chinese government of becoming increasingly protectionist. “I am not sure that in the end they want any of us to win, or any of us to be successful.”
Mr Immelt also had harsh words for Barack Obama, US president, lamenting what he called a “terrible” national mood and expressing concern that over-regulation in response to the global financial crisis would damp a “tepid” US economic recovery. Business did not like the US president, and the president did not like business, he said, making a point of praising Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, for her defence of German industry.

I stopped watching the Sunday morning political talk shows several months ago--an act of sanity--but when I turned on the TV today to watch the World Cup, the channel was set to Chris Matthews' weekly show, and the topic was Sarah Palin's political plans for 2012, which is what the Matthews' show was cud-chewing several months ago when I stopped watching, one of the reasons I stopped watching.
Anyway, there was Dan Rather saying he doubted Palin would run in '12, that she could afford to play a long game and wait until 20016, and I thought, Dan, take a deep hit from the hookah and let your mind dissolve into a better, healthier place.
Sarah Palin in 2016 will be lucky if she's anything more than feisty sidebar to whatever's happening. Apart from the hardcore knotheads, people are already tired of her shtick and decided that she doesn't have the knowledge or experience to be president, and there's no evidence to support belief that she will educate herself in the interim and dab in the illusion of a little depth.

ReplyDeleteAGAIN
Bill Kristol calls on Michael Steele to resign.
Your tenure has of course been marked by gaffes and embarrassments, but I for one have never paid much attention to them, and have never thought they would matter much to the success of the causes and principles we share. But now you have said, about the war in Afghanistan, speaking as RNC chairman at an RNC event,
"Keep in mind again, federal candidates, this was a war of Obama's choosing. This was not something that the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in." And, "if [Obama] is such a student of history, has he not understood that you know that's the one thing you don't do, is engage in a land war in Afghanistan?"
Needless to say, the war in Afghanistan was not "a war of Obama’s choosing." It has been prosecuted by the United States under Presidents Bush and Obama. Republicans have consistently supported the effort. Indeed, as the DNC Communications Director (of all people) has said, your statement "puts [you] at odds with about 100 percent of the Republican Party."
Immelt should quit whining about what's wrong and do something about it.
ReplyDeleteThe last statement in the article from the GE spokesman says it all.
These guys get a few drinks in them at a party and they turn into Rambo, at least, until they wake up in the morning or until their handlers tell them they screwed the pooch.

Good business strategy idea Deuce. Our first task has to be to get Obama out of the White House. No way he and his Union buddies would go for "exporting" capital to create jobs abroad.
ReplyDeleteSecond challenge, from a South American perspective, is how to insulate oneself from the risk of "nationalization" (which is of course now a risk in the US as well) given the leftist, dictator wannabes that hold power in all South American countries other than Colombia, Chile and Brasil (Lula is leftist, but not anti-business like the rest). Those three, however, would provide excellent starting points and models to use to attract other countries.
It never ceases to amaze me how the US willfully ignores the potentially valuable allies of Latin America.

ReplyDeleteImportant perspective to keep in mind, via Powerline, despite how despicable and maddening it is.
ReplyDeleteMETHOD TO OBAMA'S MADNESS
My friend Ray Hartwell agrees with my analysis of President Obama's approach to immigration, and he connects it to a larger point:
As with what many have called his inept handling of the Gulf oil spill, I think Obama is just fine with the deterioration of the situation on the border, for it may provide him exactly the opportunity you mention: a chance to enact sweeping "amnesty" legislation that will put a few million more Democratic votes in his pocket.
One thing bothers me about a lot of recent commentary, and that's the repeated assertion that Obama is incompetent. I don't think he is incompetent at all when it comes to the issues that matter to him and his inner circle. He is all about transforming the country and perpetuating the power of his administration and its ideological allies.
When one considers what he's done and is doing in that light, then it's not too hard to see how he and his allies may think that they are making steady progress and, more often than not, surmounting what they knew would be formidable public opposition.
They have nationalized two major auto manufacturers in near lawless fashion. They have shut down offshore oil drilling, and closed the Yucca Mountain nuclear fuel storage project, through orders found to be illegal by federal courts. Whatever the ultimate outcome, they've succeeded in killing two industries they don't like.
They have passed legislation that essentially nationalizes the health care industry, and rolled into that same package a takeover of the student loan business. Their billion or so in assorted "stimulus" spending has really been a pork barrel festival of unprecedented scope, doing a great deal to reward constituencies and create new fiefdoms, and little or nothing to create real jobs. The financial reform legislation promises to do more of the same as it consolidates their control over much of the financial industry.
At the same time they have created myriad new government jobs, peopled with supporters and prospects for SEIU or other union dues that will fund campaign coffers. Across a broad front they foster dependence on government, and seek to silence opponents and shut down the private sector.
ReplyDeleteWith respect to major legislation, they've come up with an approach that works very well for them, especially [with regardt] to avoiding actual disclosure and discussion of the particulars of their plans. They meet behind closed doors with allies and favored constituents, to craft massive bills (2000 pages here, 3000 there, 1500 in another case) that contain innumerable provisions that could not pass if exposed to the light of day. These bills are then voted through on an entirely partisan basis, and they are law before anyone has the ability to examine their contents carefully.
This approach is working, even though it is of course completely at odds with Obama's campaign rhetoric about reform and transparency. But he cares about what works, not about keeping his word. For this administration, deception of the public is an effective tool that will be used as often as necessary to achieve its goals. Because the mainstream media continue largely to be complicit in all of this, the administration's dishonesty is not exposed the way it should be. (Coming up on the anniversary of his charge that the President lies, Joe Wilson has a very high batting average.)
So I conclude that Obama and his administration are not incompetent at all. Critics and commentators who conclude they are do so by reference to conventional standards of competence. They do not evaluate what Obama is really about. And by the standards of what he seeks to achieve, one can make a case that he has made tremendous "progress" towards his goals.
I agree with the thrust of this analysis. Obama has relentlessly pursued his transformative agenda without worrying about the political capital being expended. He assumed, I think, that he would replenish that capital as the economy improved.
But the improvement has been insufficient for that purpose. Thus, Obama's approach to legislating (described by Ray above) will probably reach its expiration date by the end of the year.

Pop quiz: Who was emperor when the United States declared independence from China?
Give up?
Perhaps you should ask one of the Americans who, when asked what country the U.S. separated from, named France, Japan, Mexico, Spain or, yes, China.
A new Marist poll shows that 26% of people in this country don't know that the U.S. declared its independence from Great Britain. That includes 20% who aren't sure -- and another 6% who think it was another country.
Looking at the numbers more deeply, it appears the closer to 1776 you were born, the more likely you are to know the correct answer. So enjoy the July 4th holiday, everyone, and don't forget to be thankful that we're out from under the yoke of our Mexican colonial oppressors.

That's because we as a nation have the attention span of rabbits. And, there's nothing anyone can do about it anyway, other than wait for Red Adair's group. If they fail, everyone will be glued to the tube again, a deep sea nuke to stop an oil leak--what could be more fun than that!

ReplyDeleteHis face wracked by age and his voice rasping after decades of chain-smoking coarse tobacco, the former long-time Russian Minister of nuclear energy and veteran Soviet physicist Viktor Mikhailov knows just how to fix BP's oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
"A nuclear explosion over the leak," he says nonchalantly puffing a cigarette as he sits in a conference room at the Institute of Strategic Stability, where he is a director. "I don't know what BP is waiting for, they are wasting their time. Only about 10 kilotons of nuclear explosion capacity and the problem is solved."
A nuclear fix to the leaking well has been touted online and in the occasional newspaper op-ed for weeks now. Washington has repeatedly dismissed the idea and BP execs say they are not considering an explosion -- nuclear or otherwise. But as a series of efforts to plug the 60,000 barrels of oil a day gushing from the sea floor have failed, talk of an extreme solution refuses to die.
On the other hand, Peter Ward of the University of Washington said the other night on Coast to Coast, we might cause a huge methane bubble to arise, like happened, they think, long ago, on the Black Sea, wiping out life for hundreds of miles all around.

Known for work on the K-T Extinction
Peter Douglas Ward is a paleontologist and professor of Biology and of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle, and has written popular science works for a general audience.
Contents
[edit] Life and work
Ward's academic career has included teaching posts and professional connections with Ohio State University, the NASA Astrobiology Institute, the University of Calgary, McMaster University, and the California Institute of Technology. He was elected as a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences in 1984.
Peter Ward specializes in the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event and mass extinctions generally. He has published books on biodiversity and the fossil record. His 1992 book On Methuselah's Trail received a "Golden Trilobite Award" from the Paleontological Society as the best popular science book of the year. Ward also serves as an adjunct professor of zoology and astronomy.
Ward is co-author, along with astronomer Donald Brownlee, of the best-selling Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe, published in 2000. In that work, the authors suggest that the universe is fundamentally hostile to advanced life, and that, while simple life might be abundant, the likelihood of widespread lifeforms as advanced as those on Earth is marginal.
According to Ward's April 2007 book, Under a Green Sky, all but one of the major extinction events in history have been brought on by climate change — the same global warming that occurs today. The author argues that events in the past can give valuable information about the future of our planet. Reviewer Doug Brown goes further, stating "this is how the world ends".[1] Scientists at the Universities of York and Leeds also warn that the fossil record supports evidence of impending mass extinction.[2]

Speaking of ROE
ReplyDeleteSAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — More prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are sharing meals and recreation time with fellow inmates — an easing of conditions that has led to fewer assaults against guards at the US base in Cuba, the new commander said Friday.
Nearly 160 prisoners have been shifted into a communal living setting instead of spending most of the day confined alone in solid-wall cells, Navy Rear Adm. Jeffrey Harbeson told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
As a result, there have been only about 60 cases of prisoners assaulting guards in the first seven months of the year, compared to more than 1,000 for all of 2009, added Harbeson, who is completing his first week as head of the military task force that runs the prison.
The military brass allowed 1000 assaults against the guards at Guantanamo? Please tell me it ain't so.
When it happened( the taking of prisoners from Afghanistan) and till this day I never understood why one AQ or Taliban prisoner ever got off his knees in the Afghan sand.
1000 assaults by the jihadis against US troops in Guantanamo, and we have a so called Commander in Chief? How many Officers have resigned over that?
Excuse me for spitting.
You can be a Rosicrucian and a Lutheran? On the same day?

"When it happened( the taking of prisoners from Afghanistan) and till this day I never understood why one AQ or Taliban prisoner ever got off his knees in the Afghan sand."
ReplyDeleteIdeally, all detainees are kept in theater, their location at various facilities determined by their intelligence value.
Not the way the admin wanted it, though.
Prisoner assaults are the stuff of prison culture generally, however. Whether kept at Bagram, for instance, or Guantanamo, they happen.
It's an unpleasant job.
