The problem with this whole exchange is your denying the obvious, that
retail prices will fall when expense of the income tax is removed from
American business. It is a law of business that competition sets the
price - you may want to keep the old price and pocket that 22%, but
you'll have a competitor that will pass along the savings, so you'll
either have to lower your price in order to sell your widget, or
you'll go out of business. That's just the way it works. If you keep
clinging to your view, then we have nothing to talk about. You're
just wrong on this one.

Yep, there's a chasm that's only getting wider. We cut our throats
when we off shored most of our manufacturing.

And you are denying the even more obvious, that sales
of new cars and houses would be very fundamentally
crippled by your stupid Grossly Unfair Tax of 50%,
and even the 25% lie that wouldnt be revenue neutral.

When those sales are ALREADY crippled by the GFC
that would very comprehensively fuck the economy.

> It is a law of business that competition sets the price

It is in fact MUCH more complicated than mindlessly superficial claim.

Try telling that to Microsoft whose main competitor hands out their
main competitive product quite literally for FREE. Dont be TOO
surprised when Gates just laughs in your stupid pig ignorant face.

Even someone as stupid as you should have noticed that the
american car manufacturers are ALREADY going out of business
WITHOUT your stupid Grossly Unfair Tax slug of 22% and would
do that in spaded if the US was actually stupid enough to go for
your stupid Grossly Unfair Tax, so not only wouldnt manufacturing
return to the US, it would see a complete decimation of the car
manufacturing industry.

House building in spades, and that is one area where there
is still a hell of a lot of work in the US, essentially because
its not that practical to move finished houses and bridges
and roads etc etc etc from china currently.

> That's just the way it works.

Only in your pathetic little pig ignorant fantasyland.

> If you keep clinging to your view, then we have nothing to talk about.

We can keep rubbing your stupid pig ignorant nose in the fact
that your stupid Grossly Unfair Tax cant work and why no modern
country in the entire world has actually been stupid enough to try it.

> You're just wrong on this one.

Nope, you fools are.

Fortunately there will never be enough of you fools to matter, so it wont ever happen.

It isnt actually. The only real 'poor' anymore are the
'homeless' and most of them are quite literally insane,
just not in the locked wards we used in the past.

> We cut our throats when we off shored most of our manufacturing.

That was inevitable once china decided that communism wasnt going to fly.

Nothing anyone can do about the massive difference in labor costs.

And the real poor benefit from that very dramatically with the price
of low cost consumer goods being MUCH cheaper as a result too.

There will always be a massive middle class in every modern first and second world country.

Manufacturing is only a very minor employer in any modern first world country, even one like Japan.

We saw the same thing with agriculture before that with previously something like 90%
employed in agriculture in some way, now down to less than 5% and we handled that fine.

He means doing stupid stuff like shaking the shit out of their
operation for the sake of change and the latest management fad.

That has one hell of an effect on some work, particularly programming etc.

People get what they pay for. They seem to want cheap, so they shouldn't
be surprised when they get things that can't last long.

I paid $500 for my first printer, in 1982. Wasn't anywhere near letter
quality, was terribly slow, had no descenders, but hey it was pretty much
the only printer I could get for that little.

I paid $400 for my next one, in 1984, it was a daisywheel and gave me good
quality printing.

I then paid $300 for my second dot matrix printer in 1989, it was faster
than the first two, and did give near letter quality, so it let me do away
with the two previous printers.

Printers became a "necessity", people even thinking they had to have
color, so manufacturers started providing that "need". The lower the
price, the more they could sell, since people didn't want to pay hundreds
of dollars. So the prices dropped, and while mass manufacturing can drop
costs, one has to believe that they had to take steps to make it cheaper
to make.

Look at the first generation of anything. It's sturdy, lots of metal, and
big, and very very expensive. The price drops, more people buy, they cut
manufacturing costs, and it keeps cycling through until there's not much
metal in the unit, and it's dirt cheap.

If you pay hundreds of dollars for a printer, you expect it to last a long
time, and may be even willing to spend money on its repair.

When it's a few tens of dollars, you certainly won't pay much to have it
repaired (so then that even drops the manufacturer's incentive to make it
repairable, especially if making it throwaway makes it cheaper to make).
You also won't grumble when it fails, "oh, I only paid $30 for it". How
many inkjet printers get tossed because people decide it's better to buy a
new printer ("hey, I got a new printer, it's better than the last one")
than buy new ink cartridges for the old?

Those people have decided at what point something is cheap enough to throw
away, and they've decided that the best product is something cheap.

These nut cases appear every so often. To store all of those
casseroles, he needs a large freezer... when the freezer is empty,
he's wasting electricity. It's a cycle he hasn't give much thought
to. Being frugal doesn't mean being cheap, it just means don't waste.
However, he's taking the concept to the point of being a cheapskate.
I wonder if he reuses toilet paper?

From http://www.economy-point.org/i/ignition-temperature.html
"Ignition temperature of some solids:
Solid Ignition temperature in "°C
Fir wood 280
Wood 280-340
Cork 300-320"

A normal convection oven should not go above 250C so bamboo is unlikely to
catch fire - especially as it is over food which is cooking and therfore
giving off steam.

How do you expect the chopsticks not to cope?

If you are worried you could always soak them in water first.

Full does however reduce the inevitable losses, most obviously
heating the oven itself, particularly if he uses the convention
part at all, but even if he only uses it in microwave mode.

Yes. But if you are into documenting the batches properly,
you should be able to get the detail right so you dont need
to inspect and adjust with the later batches with most food.

Thats unlikely.

Go to a cheapo tile shop, or even hardware store, and get appropriate size large
ceramic floor tiles to separate/stack the dishes.

Save far more money by tweaking recipes so very little of the
ingredietns even need heating, let alone cooking. Saves lots of time
too.

This is **food** we're talking about here - whatever you use, if it has a
chance of coming into contact with food, should be food grade.

I really like a word processor called "Atlantis" that I have used in
the past. (ok, a friend gave me a free copy, and I got used to using it,
but that copy doesn't work on Windows 7) I figured it is time for me to
buy my own full version anyway, and support the program authors. The
program is well designed, and very compact. It is also quite intuitive,
which is worth a lot to me.

So, I was about to spend $35 on the Atlantis word processor, but then
I noticed they had some offer called "trialpay", where you sign up for
an offer, and then once you have successfully done that, you get a full
download of a registered copy of Atlantis word processor.

I browsed the offers, and the only one that stood out was RealArcade
Gamepass. If you sign up for a 30 day free trial, you get a tetris
clone game, plus another game of your choice. Then, each month you pay
a $9.99 subscription fee, and in exchange you get to download a full
version game.

Now, I'm thinking, hmm. I was about to spend $35 for the full
version of Atlantis word processor. However, instead I can subscribe
for a couple of months, pay $10, and get 2 shareware games. I see that
"Plants vs Zombies" is on the list, and I was being tempted to register
that for $20 anyway.

So if I sign up for this, I end up spending $10 total for 2 months.
I get Plants vs Zombies for that $10, instead of paying $20 to register
it. Plus, I also get Atlantis, and another game.

Seems like a better deal, eh? However, I'm still on dialup, and
though many of the games seem small enough to download on dialup, I was
wanting to know if any of you have experience with RealArcade or Trialpay.

I'm afraid I'm going to start getting loads of junk mail from
trialpay or RealArcade. I'm also worried that the RealArcade download
manager, though it is a small download at about 600k, might either slow
my system down, be intrusive, or keep track of my browsing habits.
(spyware-like)

If anyone has any experience with either of these two programs, I
would appreciate it if you could post your thoughts here. Thanks!

Naturally. However, anyone who is allergic to peanuts but not tree
nuts
ought to be aware that any facility that processes tree nuts probably
also processes peanuts. If I had a life-threatening peanut allergy, I
probably wouldn't eat nuts of any kind. It just wouldn't be worth the
risk.
