First, define the social contract.

My stab: If you work a standard 40 hour work week, you should be able to afford a modest home that you own, food, and reasonable creature comforts for leisure, charity, and children's activities for a family size up to 4 kids.

The problem: That's not really true anymore.

And that's because irresonsible government spending on social entitlement programs has driven the costs of those items too high to be affordable.

And not at all because the free market shipped those jobs to Asia to return capital to owners and sent cheap t-shirts and cashier jobs as replacements.

There is no doubt in my mind that Trump is going to jump on all this pervasive fraud throughout the entire country like King Kong ! We had no leadership in our country for 4 years under Biden. The stealing is everywhere and I think Trump needs to expand all the Federal enforcement agencies with qualified people: FBI, DHS, Marshall Service, DOJ , ATF etc etc. Many of these crooked scumbags can afford slimeball Democrat lawyers , to complicate the prosecutions .

Boomers and Politicians and CEO's caused this…

FIFY. I had nothing to do with this.

No. Boomers have been in political power for the past many decades, which have seen the rot of this nation accelerated beyond belief.

---

Yes, but it took total ignorance of what America is and stands for, the desire for more and more abortions, and hatred of Christianity for the younger generations to twice elect the Muslim Manchurian Candidate, Obama, and brain dead Biden. Boomers could have never elected those POS without lots of help from the young and stupid.

It’s now clear. A small number of modest, law-abiding, hardworking mostly white Christian Americans are being forced to subsidize the entire rest of the world, the fruit of their labors snatched at gunpoint by ruling elites. If it doesn’t end, things will get very ugly very fast. https://t.co/qKBrDWRZLk

The productive class carries crumbling systems through exhausting labor, only to see their output fund their own dispossession. When they protest the betrayal, they're labeled bigots. The system can't survive this thermodynamic reality: draining competent populations while importing dependency inevitably collapses. People are finally waking up and choosing self-preservation over loyalty to a hostile regime.

The market reacted to the opportunity to drop payroll operating expenses by 50% by shipping jobs to someone who will press the same button and twist the same screws a US worked did but for just above the marginal cost of working 16 hour days subsistence farming. If you lived in Aynrandville instead of America the exact same thing would have happened. In a global economy capital will shift production to its lowest marginal cost. That means low skilled US workers are competing against Bangladesh and Indian workers.

Stop believing fairy tales that the government is the big bad bogeyman responsible for all of our problems when shareholders will replace your job with some less expensive on the other side of the world or a robot if it juices quarterly returns. That's capitalism. The alternative is WORSE, but pretending the system we have today has your best interest at heart is foolhardy naivete. The invisible hand allocates resources and increases production efficiently and in general the rising tide lifts all boats. That doesn't mean temporary or long term externalities for the losers of global competition don't happen and when they happen don't have real world consequences for the communities that lost.

Fight or fall. Resist the corruption and greed of the totalitarians any way you can, big or small. Evil hasn't won so long as there are those who refuse to submit and speak the truth.

The FedGov, and state govts, caused this to happen. Period.

It isn't a "fairy tale". Believing that govt should be interfering, at all, when they could burn water, is the true fairy tale.

Government policy can accelerate or slow offshoring, but it didn't create a world where labor in Asia costs a fraction of U.S. labor. In a global market, capital will always chase the lowest marginal cost of production. That happens with or without regulation. Pretending otherwise is just blaming government for basic economics.

Really, you should be able to walk out to your four car garage, climb on your magical unicorn and fly off to Paris at any time. The government should provide child care for the four kids while you're gone, filling them with statist propaganda.

Malibu said:

It is the fault of the USG that people in Asia are willing to work for peanuts and that the free market said great, more profits. Come on man.

---

It's their fault that we have made it so expensive to have basic MFG, here, yes. Very much so.

All the regulations, being overly onerous (e.g. minimum wage, Obamacare, SOx, environmental, etc) , over taxation, and other idiocy have made it nearly impossible.

This isn't news. That's why tariffs, like all liberalism, are dumb as **** and don't fix the actual problem to create more mfg jobs.

Those other countries have ALWAYS been cheaper to employ a labor force in, but it wasn't until our overlords ****ed things up to the point that it "made sense" to move that we started seeing MFG move, en masse.

You're ignoring economic history. Capital shifted production overseas in the 70-80s, more so with NAFTA and 94 and hit its foot on the accelerator when China gained access to the WTO and had most favored nation status. That's when US labor manufacturing dropped dramatically.

You're correct that overregulation is a problem. But you're naive in thinking that if we had a zero regulation environment you could change economics 101 that capital will flow to the lowest marginal cost. That aint us.

Do you want to attempt adding any substance to why my social contract is nonsense or just gonna take pot shots and ride off on the magical unicorn?

Here's what I did say about the social contract: In a functioning market economy, people who work 40 hours per week should have enough to provide a minimum threshold of stability which I defined as a house you own, food, creature comforts for your family.

Things that I did not say at all or imply: 1) I expect the government to do this and 2) equality of outcomes. That's just you riffing.
