Why does the USA outsource so many jobs?

Every day, I traverse these empty streets, feeling the weight of a broken economy on my shoulders. It's not just the physical decay that's depressing; it's the constant reminder that we were abandoned by those who prioritized profit over people. This town is a testament to the devastating impact of outsourcing and the loss of American jobs. I hate it here because it represents a future that was stolen from us, leaving nothing but ruins and shattered lives.
>>
how do you think US got those jobs in the first place? people who built the world are abandoning you
Just cause some 85 IQ nigger is born on this soil, he does not deserve to make 50k
or any money frankly speaking
>>
>>16834361
because rich people make more money from that.
like it or not, the entire reason america is a nonwhite country is because rich people want cheaper labor so they imported people.
in 1870 they imported the chinks and you should remember how the chinks stole jobs from the Irish and got beaten for it. If one guy hires chinese labor he can sell cheaper metal than the guy who hires only whites forcing the guy who hires whites to hire chink labor.

>Why does the USA outsource so many jobs?
Do you even have to fucking ask? Bottom line.
The 1973 oil crisis was the end of the post war US economic boom, the rest of the world had rebuilt their production infrastructure and was hauling fucking ass, including a few nobody expected, like the japanese. The japs built shit to the nearly the same quality as the americans for half the fucking price and underbid everyone. Americans and Europeans went for japanese products instead of american. To compete, americans had to drop their prices and the only way they could do that was to move most if not all production to japan, china, taiwan and indionesia and just import their own shit instead.

I think the greatest mistake made in the 20th century was dissolving the western labor movement entirely. By dissolving the political left they removed their traditional 'Other' and are now having trouble finding a place to put that energy into now that society is so diffuse. Before it was concrete with class lines, now it's become abstracted and ANYTHING could be considered quote unquote 'communism'. The CIA are communists, that banker is a communist, Oprah is a communist, the reason the world is so silly today because they're sticking to traditional rallying cries that just don't fit in the modern social ecosystem.

I don't think this is so new:

>Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
-- Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto

>>16833433
I think, historically, the U.S. was less bound by rigid class distinctions than countries across the pond (there was an exception to this though). I read one Marxist writer describe America as also, paradoxically, being able to turn the clock of history "backwards" in the sense that a peasant who was being proletarianized in Europe could come to America and become a land-owning farmer. This wasn't due to any magic but America was kind of a blank slate with a lot of land and resources, and the colonization process was done more or less from the beginning on a capitalist-style basis with English companies doing it, which was distinct from the French and Spanish models of colonialism. The French in North America didn't really do much with their territory, and went "native" a bit more, while the Spanish transplanted a kind of aristocracy and enslaved a huge number of people to work in their mines. The U.S. also had slavery though -- that is the exception -- and Marx was a strong supporter of the northern cause in the civil war.

In Europe, socialism was also bound up in building a strong state led by a worker's party that would intrude on the aristocracy, take their stuff, their land, redistribute it, and so on. Americans developed a political culture that was more individualistic.

Yes and no. Persons from all origins coul became friars. But in many cases the Church mostly supported with scholarships those with special talents, ie more artistics, pious, spiritual or smart than the average person. Actually this caused a lot of problems in Catholic Europe because many bad persons became religious just to get advantages.

They did. There’s no other reason why Stalin ordered the Red Army to mobilize at the German/Soviet border in Poland. Also, later it was revealed that the Soviets were taking advantage of the Germany vs Western Front war and that they were waiting on the opportunity to conquer them both when they both were exhausted. It was called ‘Operation Groza’.

Why does the mosaic spell «romanus» as «RO•MA•NVS•»?
Were they in the habit of separating syllables?
Wiktionary has «rōmānus» which highlights long vowels /roːˈmaː.nus/, [roːˈmäːnʊs̠]. It almost looks like the separation dot is emphasizing the long vowels but that fails to explain «-NVS•»

I always thought it was kinda cool in medieval par force hunting, hunters would chase down their prey, usually a stag.

They did it by using dogs, with different dog breeds serving different roles. You had the scent dogs like bloodhounds for tracking, and the leaner faster dogs for actual take downs of the prey. Nobles would ride along the dogs because it basically simulated commanding a small military force, a group of unwielding/undisciplined/but loyal soldiers. These huntings packs would be positioned through a forest and communicate via hunting horn to coordinate to attack the prey.

Medieval period had a whole meta for hunting dogs, whether they should have a long tail or no tail, and for what purpose: tracking, chasing, retrieving, etc... after reading it I couldn't stop thinking that these medieval noble fucks had League of Legends meta arguments for what the best dog breed is for which role.

that's how it originally worked. The BoR applied only to the federal government. Congress couldn't take away your guns, but the state senate could and did, as with Jim Crow.
After the passage of the 14th amendment, the SCOTUS slowly came around to the idea of incorporating some elements of the BoR against states. To this day, the whole thing hasn't been fully incorporated.

How true is the "'Italian-Celtic" hypothesis? It seems to me, at the very least, very unlikely.
basically based on characteristics shared by these two branches and no other, although if you get to the common discussion there is controversy about the causes of these similarities.
They are generally innovations, probably developed after the dissolution of the Proto-Indo-European language, not evidence of an ancient Italo-Celtic branch.
And of course, genetically I don't need to say anything.... how senseless that makes it. Proto-Italics and Proto-Celts were already far apart

Push less toward urbanization and adopt a system similar to Latin coloniae or the Inka mitmaqs in order to cement the cultural make-up of the region. Mesoamerican were autistic about centralizing their populations in their city-states and leaving tons of lands empty around them. Also, the agricultural techniques necessary to sustain their "megacity projects" wouldn't exist until the Mayapan Confederation developed hybrid-pisciculture several centuries later.
>>
>>16833069
Thanks Anon.
>>
>>16832183
They didn't really need one, Mesoamerica was always culturally homogenous due to the Olmecs in the preclassic, Teotihuacan in the classic and the central mexican merchants/warriors/adventurers who took over everything in the late classic/early postclassic, and were slowly becoming an even more closely tied together civilization under the Aztecs. I don't think Roman-style empires were even possible for them, which is why they only ever had tributary hegemonies (besides the Purepecha, but they were very strange in other ways), if that's what you mean.
>>
>>16832193
>inb4 never existed
They probably didn't, or rather they weren't an empire, I subscribe to the belief that most things attributed to the Toltecs like Chichen Itza were actually the work of various groups of people migrating from central mexico rather than a single empire like that of Teotihuacan or Tenochtitlan
