...and leave US politics alone.
We're dealing with an environmental catastrophe which is surely influenced by the deluded belief that corporations are best at policing themselves.
Now if you had a system in place to effectively deal with the administrative nightmare of regulation, and a requirement for subcontractors or other interested parties to report environmentally risky decisions (as it was know beforehand that the engineering was not sound) then maybe things in the gulf could be different. That is what IT is for you know, to deal with administrative complexity.
One more thing Murph. Reagonomics was just a way to get out of stagflation and create jobs by investing in factories and whatnot. Today though, any investment will be in the 3rd world due to labor incentive. The policies of yesterday will not build jobs today while simultaneously we need to deal with the fiscal reality the Reagan left us with.
OK so your plan again is too cut taxes on the rich so they can invest in China. OK got it. Deregulate more so we can role the dice on companies doing the right thing or not (which we know they won't when looking at profit potential).
Let's see. Tell me again how growing the wealth of the top 1% is going to result in jobs for IT workers. It's a pipe dream. Put the pipe down Murph for the love of humanity.
