Companies are companies. Shareholders demand a 6% or more return.

True. Which is why we need to reform our campaign finance system. Only a soulless immortal corporation could look at what China is doing to its people and claim that it's none of their business.

i think we need to concentrate on getting america out of the toilet its swirling around in before we worry about anyone else. charity is a good thing, but not when you don't have your own house in order. it is impossible to make moral judgements when you're standing in a shifting morass of bullshit. not saying abandon the rest of the world, but one of the reasons we're at risk to foreign influence is because the whole country is in disarray, with no clear leadership, no one sane at the helm, and really, no one sane to take it over if we remove the lunatic currently at the wheel...
once we get a grasp on that, then we can start to help the rest of the world

Just about every company in the grow business has its finger in the "honey" of china. Led lights, tents, fans, hooks, clips, plastic bottles, bins, garbage cans, etc eve. The fertilizer solutions even. This has been a problem for a while and mostly glossed over.
They are estimating between 300-500 coal plants are to be built in the next 20 years throughout China alone, half is probably for the consumption model to continue.
We have to do something, because it is just going to make our swirl down the drain, worse.

China is about to be in some real weird situations with their elderly being so numerous with respect to the people they are depending on providing for them all since their one child policy experiment.

while any country is made up of individuals, the government sets the policy...what kind of policy do you think they're going to have for the elderly? what kind of human rights policies are they known for now? do you see them building something like sun city for several million elderly people? or feeding them, once they can't work anymore?

I agree but that won't quite do it. The system needs cheap labor and resources.

Capitalism will always lead to the top heavy distribution of wealth. The government was the limiting factor. The barons are still here. I've been very fortunate. But most I know not so much. The increase in costs are not sustainable.

That so-called tax cut given to the wealthy. If directed to education could have paid tuition for every college student in the US with plenty left over to rebuild school infrastructure in run-down districts. Resetting the distribution of wealth to that of the 50's could do so much more to make this country competitive than by buying mega yachts. Just saying that there is plenty of room to invest in the people of this country without taking down capitalism. Social Democracy isn't the same as socialism.

wealth distributes itself...some people are interested in making money, and some people aren't. people who aren't interested in making money end up poor...function follows form...
you're not talking about the distribution of wealth, you're talking about redistributing wealth...whose wealth are you going to be redistributing? why are they giving it to you to redistribute? why are you redistributing it to people who did nothing to earn it?
how about we deal with some of this undeserved sense of entitlement that is so prevalent recently? how about we grind it into the losers living in their parents basements, attics and garages, that they are fucking failures who need to get the fuck off their asses and get jobs, and feed themselves?
i don't see the problem with the acquisition of wealth...if you have the desire and the willingness to work for it, you deserve what you get.
i do see a problem with acquiring wealth through unethical, illegal means. if you lied, cheated, and stole to get wealthy, you don't deserve one penny of it, and should have it taken away from you.
if you don't give to charities, don't donate to causes, don't help feed the homeless, well, that's your decision. no one should make it for you. they didn't earn your money, and didn't give it to you as a gift. don't expect anyone to want to have anything to do with you, to like or respect you, or to ever help you if you're in need....you can buy all the help you need.

I don't see poverty as a moral issue. I see it as a lack of opportunity and support for those who weren't born with a gold spoon in their mouth. Let the best and brightest rise to the top. Right now, we have the lowest social mobility since the 1920,s. You cannot tell me Matt Kavanaugh was the best and brightest. He got there by being smart but not exceptional and born into great wealth and grew up among the power-elites who coddle douchebags like him because he's one of them. For very practical reasons, we need to re-balance the distribution of wealth so that those with ability but not economic adn social status can compete with those who did nothing to gain wealth and privilege.
Regarding relying on charities to bring equal opportunity to everybody: that hasn't ever been adequate.
Note that I'm not banging on the heads of productive wealthy people, just the legions of them who are really just average but were born with a huge advantage while people who have higher potential are stifled due to the situations they were born into. To me, people should earn the right to higher education and not just have it handed to them. But the means to pay for it shouldn't be one of the obstacles.
We have let things get run down in this country too. We aren't investing in infrastructure. We need to address the sources of human caused climate change and improve our environment. These are investments, not expenses and everybody benefits, including future generations.
Do you think this system is working so well that the status quo is the best answer? If not then it has to be paid for. People who benefit the most from living here can afford to pay the most for the privilege.
