Posts: 4759A big part of this rise was so easy to achieve by switching the productions facilities to China mostly, by doing that the US created very strong competitors, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi. Were all suppliers for Apple at the beginning, same for the wind industry, for the telecom, for the batteries. Like for other subjects now it is too late for the US probably they will become number 2 very fast if not already done. China have hugely invested in infrastructures (airports, highways, trains) over the last 20 years, in the US the infrastructures like highways, high speed trains. Are terrible, also the school system is a disaster, without speaking about the healthcare, on top of that the new President will be a old guy probably not able to change the things to seriously come back in the race against China.

Supply and demand is definitely the major difference in WG pricing. Europe has a much higher supply of WGs, as well as South America and SE Asia. The similarities of pricing in German WGs as compared to the American scene is noted, with the remaining price difference able to be attributed to German girls being limited by the supply of Eastern Europeans, and probably also the legal status.
With regards to comparisons and critique of the US, I know that, economically, the US has provided for a comparatively pretty easy journey. However, I must point out that when non-Trumpy Americans self criticize, we usually make comparisons to similar social-economic countries. Yes there is a net preference for immigration to the US but how much of that is from poor South and Central American populations. I believe the "city upon a hill" image of the US has eroded in the minds of many of our peers in Western and central Europe. I've even heard from the Romanian WGs numerous times, "before I want to go to America, but not anymore."
For those of us on this forum, we have been lucky to have made our lives while the US had been on the rise. What many fear and is the point of criticism and concern, which seems to become more evident every day, is that our nation is on the decline. Entry level earnings versus cost of living today just do not compute. Young Americans have to balance higher cost of living to comparatively lower income ratios in the past with the fact that Americans have to provide for a higher proportion their own healthcare and retirement without the safety net that many of our western European peers enjoy. Add in student loans for white collar and professional occupations and we have a recipe for current and future stagnation. In the past, we have benefited greatly from the immigration of foreign professionals and white collar workers but our current declining standard of living with increasing cost will stifle that. What remains is the blue collar jobs cash grab by immigrants from poor countries. We still have the best university system in the world to attract the best and brightest, but I fear that with the current declining situation, a higher proportion of talent will just complete their training and move right back to their own nations.

In any case, care to list the current 7 day average of Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina for comparison? Oh right, it doesn't fit your narrative.

I thought god is someone that is supposed to take care of you when you are in trouble, but these idiot barbarians get themselves into trouble trying to protect their god and the dignity of god. What a twisted world they live in.

He started off long ago by proposing that the United States adopt an FKK system.
He has argued that public ownership of brothels would be beneficial.
And that sex workers themselves represent unskilled labor and that there prices in the USA Are artificially high.
And he argues that the political system in the United States is idiotic and a failure in virtually all regards, including with respect to Covid-19, in comparison to the systems of other countries. I believe he has argued also that the economic system in the USA Is a failure and only benefits the Elites.
So I just keep getting more and more confused, although I do believe he has some points with respect to the idiotic political system.
If the political system is idiotic, why involve it in the commercial sex trade at all? It can be argued that the current USA Environment with respect to commercial sex is one of the best examples of a free market ever. A person can contact the seller of sex directly through thousands of independent escort websites, twitter feeds, and Seeking Arrangement ads. The prices are indeed very high, but there are fewer middlemen. I don't know how one argues price distortion in that circumstance. She is selling it and the customer is buying it.
One of the primary reasons that sex is much, much less expensive in Germany, and to a lesser extent in Spain and Portugal, is the influx of Romanian imports into Germany, and from South America into Iberia. The Iberian ladies price match with their South American sisters and live in harmony. The German ladies are less inclined to do so, and when American independent escorts are compared in prices to the German independent escorts, the price difference is not as pronounced.
So the price differences between this horrible United States and Europe is heavily weighted toward importation of low-priced labor and the willingness of the government to allow large facilities where the imported labor, which he considers unskilled, to fuck a lot of guys in a relatively short period of time. When you view it in those terms, the political system in the USA Is less idiotic than he lets on. Germany is unique in its system, and I think the worldwide trend is away from its system of allowing imported sex labor to be performed at fixed location facilities.
I am not trying to disrespect it, so I simply asked him the question. If Germany, Austria and Switzerland is Nirvana, why not move there?
I was confused, and still am, as to why public investment in facilities where this supposedly unskilled labor performs its services would be beneficial. I am also confused as to why the labor is even considered unskilled. We all spend a lot of time discussing and reviewing women who provide commercial sex, so I simply don't view them as unskilled. I truly don't give a shit who picked the tomato on my sandwich, but the last lady who performed oral sex on me is truly meaningful to me. She charged a lot, but I was okay with paying the price she asked.
Personally, I think most political and economic systems work pretty damn well, and represent what the majority of the populace wants. So I don't feel the need to diss the United States in post after post. I accept things. The USA has high commercial sex prices if done in a manner that minimizes the risk of arrest. It also has a relatively high Covid-19 rate, but there is plenty of freedom and that has a price. As to it not having a lot of hospital beds, does it really owe me that?
No, neither the country nor its politicians owe me a damn thing, and neither do the women there owe me inexpensive sex. The market determines this stuff.
I don't spend my life complaining about things I can't control, which includes the price of local sex, the Covid-19 positivity rate, or who the other 330 million people vote for.
We can all try to emigrate / immigrate or whatever the word is if it becomes unbearable. But guess what, it has been my observation that there are more people trying to get into the USA Than get out of it. So I doubt that the grass is really greener on the other side. Most guys in the USA Enjoy the occasional trip to Europe, Canada, Asia, or Mexico / South America and the less expensive sex that comes with it, but when push comes to shove, few of them are looking to really leave.
And one of the reasons why, is that just like the American hookers, they get paid way more to do the same damn job in the USA Than they would outside of it. And there are a lot more everyday luxuries to enjoy in the USA Than outside of it.
So that is my rant. I wish American would quit complaining about the USA.

And as usual, you skipped the actual questions in my text. That must have been the 100th time. Why did you not ask for rounding up all Asians in all the Western societies and ship them out if you felt any Asian inside any club was a mortal threat? How was that logical?

So, I am sensitive to this charge of one member randomly accusing another of being a clone of some other member (s). I don't know how long Mursenary has been posting here, nor do I know the same about Phallus. I began noticing their comments only when I got into modest disagreements with both (funny how that works). But over time, one can see where people stand, their views on life, how they think -- at least somewhat superficially. I am 100% positive Mursenary and Phallus are not the same; if that means you will accuse me of being a clone of one of them, that is fine too but it is very obvious to anyone reading their comments and interests and other views they are very different. Phallus, I view him as being very libertarian. Pardon me if I characterized you wrong. He almost does not seem to have much interest in these political discussions and pandemic topics. He is almost similar to PolyAmorist, except PolyA has a biting sarcastic tongue and a sharp wit (not that Phallus doesn't but PolyA is clearly a talented writer). Mursenary and McAdonis often agree on many topics but most definitely not the same either. I myself am 100% positive I am not Gino. It would be like matter and antimatter coming together haha. I really love reading the views of Mongerer88, Tank Tank, and Bfsie is a very helpful gentleman.
The only ones I can think of as being clones are these Hammer / Shoe / Sobe / other assorted types. Not that I am accusing them of being actual clone accounts but the only thing they post is alt right drivel and that could come from the same bot. Far be it from me to say any such thing about other posters, but there is very little differentiation between any dozens of their posts -- "Covid is a nothingburger, masks are useless, you are all foolish unless you agree with every word I say, Trump is great, Sweden is great, vaccines suck, Fauci sucks, you have no guts, you are all pussies and wussies, blah blah" (I am sure the good people of Sweden are recoiling in horror at being lumped next to Trump in the same basket). I was also very positive that an infrequent poster called Apolloyon (something like that) was a clone account of one of the aforementioned 3 senior members that were always attacking me -- if I am correct in my suspicion it would be so ironic because their entire agenda was to "clean up" the site of any clone accounts while they probably used a clone account in that quest.
