The invent of the car also created more problems not all is rosey. Fossil fuels r carcinogens. Asbestos brakes the same. Emissions r unhealthy. Humankind creates n destroys at the same time n doesn't want to pay the bill.
I would agree about the tech industry's growth. I am going into the tech industry. We have 3 times more jobs being created than students going into the field. Its growth potential is astronomical and worker wages are also amazing, but the education system is not so effective in this regard.
Nathan it was Kodak. And yes they went under in 2012 I think. Totally agree on most points. Though I still prefer handmade than anything made by a machine. Though depending upon what I agree with the use of the best possible technology. It's about finding a balance. Not just putting the most profit into very few pockets. But excuse pls late and blurry so gnight all. Pick this up tomorrow.
You don't need to raise corporate taxes you just have to allow business to fail and not allow government to subsidize. Tech industries get a lot of government funding. Especially in the mass communication sector(social media). Facebook, google, twitter etc etc...
It's acceptable if it is voluntary charity. We can't tell wealthy people not to pass out birth control.
The government voluntarily taxes wealthy people and uses the money for welfare. I don't see the problem.
Need more government. Whenever societies try to lower government, business just steps in and takes it place. And let's face it, businesses suck at governing people, they just care about their shareholders. Just look how the world goes to crap every time a Republican is put in charge.
You can't say that government won't function with coercion over taxes. To have no coercion means 0% taxes, which would create the downfall of government. Therefore, the government cannot function WITHOUT coercion.
Google may tell you how to build a car / house or nuclear reactor. It doesn't mean you can do it. Some companies cannot be allowed to fail. Last example. Rover car manufacturer in the uk allowed to fail. Brought out by Chinese after its collapse. But government could have brought it. Saved the jobs and owned a car company capable of building every single police car, ambulance and fire engine, government owned car etc. all without having to pay profit to foreign firms. Also having the luxury of selling cars at a base price earning money for the treasury directly. Far more effective for a nation than letting it collapse. Just look at British rail. South east rail I believe it was made 2 billion profit in its last operating term. Shame some government idiot privatised it for a fraction of that. And that's money the taxpayer has lost out on.
Capitalism has no conscience. Govt is responsible for checks n balances in the best interests of its populous. In theory but not always the case.
