    Where’s the energy around requiring real audits of any company accessing US capital markets? I liked that idea. If business practices are fair and ethical then we should allow some outsourcing, however China using slave labor and state money to corner markets and industries continues to be a huge national and global risk.

    I guess I keep coming back to the question of are the taxes and labor costs prohibitive enough to truly cripple these businesses if the flip side is more Americans have decent jobs and wages? Is there truly no wiggle room or middle ground? I know business is about the bottom line but it seems like the bottom line is hurting the interior of the country. Bot mentioned the Hub effect, which is also contributing to that.

    Yes. That's why the USA leads the works in mfg output.

    If a person is only capable of working on a manufacturing line it's not a company's problem. There are currently millions of jobs for skilled workers and trades people.

    AI and automation should in theory decrease China’s advantage in labor prices. The death of retail will reduce company inventory assets dramatically. It’s gonna be build quickly on demand of sale, not build in advance and hope it sells. Shorter supply chains. Of course unless we go communist. Or have massive inflation.

    With the forced advent of working from home and the subsequent lessons learned, there is going to be a huge inventory of unused commercial real estate space. States with no or low income tax rates are going to make out like banshees. Oregon will attempt next month to raise their top income tax rate from 10% to 13%. Toss in the new 1% Portland Metro. Telecomuting from Vancouver instead of driving to the downtown Portland office will result in at least a 9% wage increase. If you were a hedge fund manager - rather work from Florida in the winter or riot threatened NYC and save 12% in income taxes? The phucking leftards aren't real good at numbers and sh*t.

    They crafty Oregon legislatures in 2019 decided to tax people if their income came from Oregon, regardless if the were physically in Oregon or not. So that 9% can’t be avoided. Allegedly

    I'm going to give you guys a hot tip. Over the next ten years there is money to be made in converting office space to condos and shopping centers to mixed use work, live, shop green living centers

    Yup. That's the only use for downtown office space is condos. Spoke with a pretty large professional firm a week or so and they are downsizing to less than 1/3 of their previous footprint - a couple conference rooms, a couple shared office spaces and that's it. Used to be all the partners and most staff had their own offices. Gone. Just gone, no warning.

    Assuming the fucking rioters, looters and homeless are dispersed properly.

    That's the result of the Supreme Court Wayfair decision. That only allows the state to tax commercial sales into the state. Oregon can't tax a person working in Washington. Only Washington can do that.

    I would pay more for American made. Hell you can barely find American made items on the shelf these days. Except for guns. We make the bestest and the mostest. That way we are free!
