Economy Trump Dishes Out 36% Tariffs in Shock Move Against Thailand
Can you explain to me how is that if you take a original product to a manufacturer how do you expect that manufacturer to manufacture your product without you providing details on how and what you want manufactured regardless of patent or copyright etc? "we develop" is an amusing comment when in many cases it is the paying students in a University research unit that does most of the donkey work to develop novel products, the University takes the credit to enhance its profile to attract ever increasing fees and big Pharma "sponsors" of the research they partially fund for work by paying students get to Patent the end result . Patents also have a validity of about 10 years so at the expiry date it is open to generic production which so often is done at what should be embarrassingly low eventual value. Copyrights are usually easy to defy by minor variance. -

Would you send your kids to harvard?
Not sure anyone considers education as useless or a fraud as you infer. And it is a far different position to reduce numbers of meteorologists on the government tit to the idea that their science isn't of value. Hopefully you aren't one of the idiots that think recent downsizing of that area is in any way a causation of loss of life in the Texas flooding. And success is an interesting question. I know my plumber is doing very well for himself. He inherited the business from his father (a golf buddy) and makes very good money. Of course he has to get his hands dirty. But even if all he earned financially was a solid living for himself and family is that some how lesser than a high earner in value? Yes, we need trained people. Not educated in useless knowledge. Heck I am all for getting a masters in music or art or whatever drives you. If you understand those degrees usually do not lend themselves to a comfortable living. And if you aren't saddled with a debt bomb. Problem is in the USA today we have too many college grads with zero useful skills and too few plumbers, electricians, or other trade skills that will be earning money once AI removes the need for general education monkeys. We have colleges assuring students it's OK to follow their dream of being a master in the 12th century Bolivian culture and taking on $200,000 in debt. Which cripples them economically for life. I will concede some careers demand a degree. I want a doctor who attended a real university. I want my lawyer to have passed the bar. I want my financial planner to have completed economics in college. But I don't care if my piano or guitar teacher did. Despite my mother having a masters in music I respect some people can be self taught and not have a piece of paper in that area. For myself I did not get a college degree, instead attending a trade school in electronics. And then a job in the virgin data communications industry in the 70s. Then career moves, Silicon valley startups, and retirement at 42 late 90s. But I admit my path was very lucky and I don't think today that this path would have the same result. Just mentioning to clear up any envy or derision of a higher education. My family background is rife with degrees from Yale/Stanford and other institutions of higher learning. I am the only one in my family lacking a college degree. But I've done OK. Bottom line is education is great. BUT the idea that only those who work in a clean hands world have value is wrong. And we need to end the concept that if you don't attend college you are a failure at life. That is elitism and only losers feel a need to feel superior for having read Immanuel Kant.
