Fiasco with Jim! *time tagged*

 

"Cleanest water"... Bottled water doesn't count. Nestle shouldn't be taking a river system's worth of water for pennies and selling it for obscene amounts of profit. 

"Clean air"... How about you stop asking us to rely on oil, foreign or domestic, and move to solar, nuclear, and tidal? 

 

Instead of taxing overseas trade, how about you start collecting on the taxes that companies owe the government? How about putting a better wage for us? Expansion of the Medicare program that we're all paying into? Why don't you stop taking away from our social programs to fund non-social programs? We're paying into a system to get from it. It's our investment as citizens that are being taken away.  

Shh, don't say that, he'll call you a socialist 

Nestle's shit is a corporate setting & that's how it works in a corporate country & still manage to stabilize the economy not eat everything up & dry out the economy while doing so.  you should hear about other companies exhausting local resources & keep a clean image.

Yeah... he did sign an EO on it in 2017 , probably got lost in the Russia hysteria. also it got stamped as reversing Obama's climate policies in networks that reported it very accurately without twisting words

Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth E.O.

 

 

 

Although unclean ,  Oil & others are some of the most efficient methods we have now , that's just the case everywhere in the world, best we can do is regulate it in our current settings, while working to integrate clean energy, which he & everyone else in the country is working on ,  seeing how everything is tied up into our society , it isn't snap of the finger, 

 

as was the predecessor setting which hauled in huge losses relying on failed businesses in the name of clean energy, overall didn't change a thing, didn't work as expected & lost huge sums of taxpayers money, would it work that quick as you'd expect?  profit-wise it's a system with risks & heavy losses , that's why only a few wealthy ones invest in clean energy with excessive competition ,they are those who can afford to loose or gain from it. you probably have seen that Tesla meme on charging cars to production footprints it cost.

is there anything wrong with taxing far more for oversea trades who continually abused our system for their own profit with billions coming in for margins? local company tax cuts & providing them more opportunities against competition  promotes economy growth sooner or later  . it's already boomed quite nicely under his supervision so far with tough regulations & negotiations.

Better wage comes from better boosted economies & tax cuts, which he is working currently & is far more efficient than predecessors take on things but still is being critiqued as very bad as if we had better. it's stems from politics .

medicare & social programs are good to a certain point , but at that point where it levies heavily on other peoples on a national scale & digs in earnings too deep in to survive & nothing comes back in , both sides loose in terms of progress , then it gets tricky , private organizations work far more efficiently do a better job. individual gets more freedom .

hmmm..... wonder if there are others who'd do such a crazy thing.

Government never does anything right. The minute you tell them to manage or fund my health insurance, you're signing my death warrant.

it should be easy, but divided politics absolutely fucks it up . it's a corporate country, very complex .

Private insurance doesn't work as efficiently as a single system would. Having to keep track of X number of forms (one for each insurance company, sometimes more) is a terrible way to provide billing. It adds hours of delay before the patient could get help for their condition. Having one plan that covers everyone from the taxes that are already being paid is a far better use of our tax dollars than it would be to go to a private insurer that will say "no, we can't cover that as it's an 'elective' procedure". 

 

Taxing the corporations that use oversea trade, like Apple and Nike, should be taxed more heavily and should not be allowed to skirt their payments. If Trump cared, he would close those loopholes quickly. The biggest gripe is our constant war with other nations, but we aren't willing to produce better programs or incentives for American-made products. "hey, you bought that American grill this year? Put it on your tax return and we'll give you 10% back." 

 

Alternative energy needs to come sooner before our decaying infrastructure becomes overloaded. We have plenty of long roads where electric would make a lot of sense. We could set an incentive to make distribution centers that cover every area that an electric vehicle could cover. And yes, there is time to charge as drivers are mandated to stop after so many hours or miles of driving. We need less focus on ethanol and more focus on fuels that are less time and energy consuming. 

@TopHatProductions115 If Canada, EU, and other first-world countries can do it correctly, why can't Earth's "number-one superpower" do it as well? 

Because the attempt at government managed healthcare caused insurance for a lot of people to go up, not down, or made it more difficult to find a doctor.  I mean the government usually doesn't even keep roads or bridges maintained like they should be why would I trust them with my insurance?

Roads are not maintained by the federal government. If you need your roadways cleared or repaved, you need to bring it up to your state government. FDR created the Medicare and Social Security programs, among others, after WW2. These programs are applauded as being worth the time and expense paying into them. We could easily get a system that works for everyone by expanding it. If a disabled person gets help and can join the workforce, he/she pays taxes into the program. Those that don't get sick still pay into it and it gets saved for when they do. It would help negotiate costs for procedures and medications, especially in swing areas where similar procedures can cost radically differing amounts. If hospital A matches hospital B's price, we should go for it. You shouldn't have to shop for a hospital based on price.

Maybe we should take a look at how effective Social Security and Veterans benefits currently are, since those two are more closely run by government  @ARikozuM

Privatizing the housing market led to a collapse. The same will happen to Medicare if we let it be privatized. 

not sure about how the whole process efficiency plays it's role when it comes to terms of it being overall good for everyone  , that seems to be a fixable problem as it is described by you as time comes(need to look up more on that horror stories you mentioned n processing client bills) , anyhow i think in an open setting in a free country an individual should have the option to move out to a different player according to his will , maybe go for a much higher premium & better care if they can afford or just plain right move to an alternate plan . choice of freedom & option should be there , rather than being enforced & played by a single party. which may & probably end up costing more to a group of people unfairly enforced .  ideologically it's a good thing, Canada is doing so, but they are taxed accordingly.

He has been working on several industry giants to push back to an in-country manufacturing afaik through American made EO & direct negotiations, he negotiated with companies including  intel when Brian was CEO to start a chip manufacturing plant in US soil originally planned to be outside , he is already taxing overseas manufacturing heavily, companies are hating him for it, but anyways  you're right on taxing them more . but it has to be in a fair manner.  not excessive as to drive away business to a foreign player.

 

AE will be slow thing but it's a process , it will grab into our current setting only if it's more efficient & convincing & reliable to buyers. but currently it doesn't stand on it's own & relies partially on the current non- renewable energy to maintain & harvest its gains.

@ARikozuM Are you referring to this:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_mortgage_crisis
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_housing_bubble
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_mortgage_crisis#High-risk_mortgage_loans_and_lending/borrowing_practices

If so, I'd be asking about who loosened the regulation to allow for such, and why.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_United_States_housing_bubble#Government_policies

If you decide to blame the lenders, you also have to blame the people who took the loans from the lenders as well, as shown here:

Thought:

 

The government, under the democrats, would spend a lot of money enforcing environmental policies on companies.

 

 

Why not just have government do the actual work? Let's say a company has a smoke stack that without proper filtering, would put out some sort of pollutant. Instead of spending tax dollars on monitoring and enforcement, why not just spend those dollars installing proper filtering and maintenance of said filtration?

 

It doesn't increase the cost of doing business for the company, and the environment is protected. What am I missing?
