What went wrong 90s bro’s? In 1999 we all thought we were going to be living on space stations traveling the stars. The future seemed bright in 1999. Harry Potter, the 21st century, the Chicago bulls with Michael Jordan…we had it all and now we have nothing but a collapsing civilization…how did this happen?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gTIcIzKjGjg&list=RDgTIcIzKjGjg&start_radio=1&pp=ygUUWm9vbSB6b29tIHpvb20gemVub26gBwE%3DIf you know this song, you know what I’m talking about…
>>532406308Bush won the 2000 election. Basically all of our modern problems can be traced to his presidency.

>>532406308I forgot about Zenon Bitch of the Future. Good times.
>>532406308She goes to some generic horse ranch for most of the movie. Scifi bait in switch bullshit.
>>532406308>What went wrongOh, anon, you should know by now..
>>532406541There is no Obama without Bush's disastrous administration, especially Bush's second term. Without Obama, there's no Trump. Trump took Obama's deficit at the end of his term and basically doubled it by the end of 2019.
>>532406308Economic prosperity was based on the fact that every little town in America had a factory that everyone could work at that supported the whole region. The thought that anyone could be unemployed or even not make it was absurd because of just how easy it was to succeed.However, all these jobs were shipped out to China because Chinese people would work for pennies and it didn't cost too much to ship whatever they made there back to The US.Every foreigner is a SCAB, but they're not in our backyard so there's nothing that a man can personally do about it.
>>532406308Can we just take a minute to appreciate the 'N' on Raven Simone. The jokes write themselves.
The Little Puck Zenon scene is pure kino

>>532406308>What went wrongLeftists. Leftists destroying everything they fucking touch is what went fucking wrong.
>>532406308Harry Potter happened and a whole generation decided pretending to be wizards was more important
>>532406852Those little factories were already unproductive and obsolete by the 80s against Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese competition.Second, little towns only exist to feed the actual economic engines of cities. When whatever they do (which is usually low on the value chain) becomes uneconomical, they die. These places have never been permanent, as we've seen throughout human history. Betting on the heckin wholesome small town economy has always been a foolish. You will probably have to move in 3-4 generations.
Enough Silents were still alive to moderate the Boomers shittiness. They would do these social expirments everyone hated for a few months to a year at most then give everyone a break for years once a Silent above them got pissed off enough to end it. They were already losing their grip by the 90's. Boomers in charge are extremely slow to respond to problems. But will go at high speed to make them. Everyone else was cautious as hell and quickly put an end to the worst bullshit once it was not benifical to anyone.
>>532406377Jews appointed Bush. Elections aren't real.

>>532407084>Erm my urban-centric philosophy tells me that only cities are really important guys>There's no policy that could be done to protect lower tier working positions>Just um... Because there couldn't be!>It's inevitable that, despite all of human history being comprised of local village -> Supports Big City>That for some reason we would kill all the villages WE have so we can replace them with erm uhm...>Villages in China?>And then all the ruraloids die or whatever I don't care>Why can't they just get le jobs in the le cities and we all live in one big Judge Dredd megacity->Oh what do you mean the economic system doesn't work if there's not a domestic bottom floor, and there's not enough jobs to go around anymore?>B-But it was cheaper to make it in Asia! WE HAD TO DO IT WE AD TO WE HAD TO!!This is what you unironically think.
>>532407773>Erm my urban-centric philosophy tells me that only cities are really important guysIt's not philosophy. It's the economic reality of geography and agglomeration effects. The worst thing the American right ever did was give up the cities to their enemies.>There's no policy that could be done to protect lower tier working positionsThat's largely what the US did. We have enormous tariffs on refined aluminum for example. American production is simply that inefficient and unproductive that imports are economical for any American business that uses aluminum.>Villages in China?1980s China offered a unique combination of a smart but poorly educated, cheap, very hard working workforce that really can't be found anywhere else.And yeah, Namfon up in Northern Thailand is not only less of a retard than a lot of these rural American workers, she's cheaper.>And then all the ruraloids die or whatever I don't careWe have massively distorted our economy by keeping these economically unviable places alive with SSDI and other welfare and suppressing the internal migration of the rural talent that exists with immigration.>B-But it was cheaper to make it in Asia!It was not just cheaper. It was better. America was leapfrogged by Asia in the 70s and 80s, and it has only gotten worse as we've sat on our laurels, and provided these dumbfucks with welfare and sinecures (think all of jobs for state and local gov that are glorified UBI), instead of letting these places rightly die and their productive population circulate into places where they can provide value.

>>532408479Do you have a fractional sister?
>>532408384And in no way all the leaps of logic that justify selling out the lower end production to foreign countries would ever come back to bite us in the ass with the mass migration of SCAB workers from foreign countries. This delusion that you're existing in where everyone can work a moneyswapper job in New York and a Hollywood producer in LA and a Techfag in silicon valley wasn't ever the reality. The cities have always imported the cheapshit workers from the villages because the avenues established by those business connections are the same ones used to hop on a plane and fill jobs in fagbelt USA.We welfare the ruraloids and keep them propped up because even if they carpetbagged all the way to developed regions there's nothing for them, they are not desired in the slightest and are kept on bread and circus work in schools, with food stamps, and in state bureaucracy because nobody is actually forcing the jobs to hire Americans when they can rent a green card slave for cheap that can't quit or they literally get deported.The only thing that would keep this functioning is a no-bullshit, hardline total immigration ban and a screaming and wailing forcing of companies to desire American labor even at the cost of every potential bitching that'd come down the line. Trying to poke these people with tariff sticks and just hoping weely weely hard that they operate in the best interest of the domestic workforce is limp wristed and won't work in a million fucking years.But nobody does that, we're never going to have the finesse of getting the best of both worlds so the only route forward is decay and then collapse.

>>532406852isn't a scab a dude looking for work and when he applies to a place management bypasses the union to hire him?sounds like you shou pop the tire of managements cars sooner than give shit to guy looking for work.
>>532406852also should have decentralized production to provide every product the communit needed, not a centralized factory producing a small range of goods.you need to think:>"how does the community decentralize production to cover their entire material needs while severing any dependencies on outside resources."
>>532409472I'm not in favor of low-skilled immigration. In an ideal world, the US would cut off the welfare trough of its lower class and boot them out of the most productive areas into the hinterlands like a normal country. Cletus the carpenter is definitely limited by living in the sticks, and not an urban area where construction actually happens. He should be able to try his luck in the big city, and if he's as retarded as a nigger, he can fuck off back to the sticks he belongs.>when they can rent a green card slaveThis is a complicated issue, but the problem is that a lot of ruraloids are fundamentally uneducated and don't know the basic facts of the fields that the high end immigrants do. This is a good reason for actual education reform, but to conservatives, education reform means teaching blax phonics so they can be good at 4th grade standardized tests, and still suck at 8th and 12th grade.>Trying to poke these people with tariff sticksTariff sticks encourage malinvestment and stagnation. One need only look at the motorcycle industry in the 80s. Did Harley actually use the tariff moat to make motorcycles as good as the Japanese? No, they just made the same garbage they were making before.In general, I think the Chinese policy of infrastructure as welfare makes far more sense than giving SSDI so that ruraloids can blow on tattoos and weed currently practiced in America.
