    Grow up. The market is what outsourced production of medicine supplies and equipment overseas at the expense of lives today. The market is what financialized the economy so that nearly half of mortgages will fail. The market is what caused immigration so we can’t even automate.

  • WHAT IS THE ROLE OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IN SOCIETY? (probably very important)

    WHAT IS THE ROLE OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IN SOCIETY?

    (probably very important)

    —“Also do you have any writings you could point me to on your views on big business’ role in society? Namely, I do see cultural marxism and other factors at play throughout university and entertainment, but the pressures from big biz for cheap labor, for mass immigration of more customers etc. as the primary driving force behind our replacement. Does a mixed economy with strong tariffs and other incentives prevent this from happening in the future?”—

    BUSINESS(INDUSTRY):

    1. The production of goods, services and information.

    2. The normalization of middle class behavior (everyone is a potential customer)

    3. The production of the possibility of the self organizing – civil- society.

    Business increases customer base, dependencies and alliances until everyone in the society is a customer, dependency, and alliance

    BIG BUSINESS(INDUSTRY)

    1. The role of big business in society is to provide a durable sustainable revenue stream upon which to base the political revenue necessary for the incremental suppression of parasitism that makes possible the extension of trust and opportunity down into smaller and smaller producers, which in turn produces the middle class ethic which is the source of high trust – that is initiated by the militia.

    (important)

    2. Big businesses are difficult to compete with because they can ‘socialize’ costs of obtaining and holding customer relationships over time. So this ‘stability’ must be thought of as the economic equivalent of the military – defense of the economic territory. So just as the military creates a defensive wall against military conquest, big business creates a defensive wall against economic conquest.

    (Important!)

    3. Obviously big business can afford to pay for research and development. This is a minor role. Because big business cannot compete with the government for basic research. The government performs basic research industry applied research. And Small and Medium Business applies the results of basic research to niche (smaller) markets.

    4 (Limits) The problem evident throughout all of history is that the middle class (Business and industry) has no more incentive to limit it’s consumption of economic opportunity than the citizenry has incentive to limit it’s consumption of human and institutional capital. So this is the important insight of fascism and nationalism: that profit at national expense is a theft of capital: privatization of commons or socialization of losses.

    5. The same applies for the government. The state and finance sectors (and now the academic sector) will happily destroy the genetic human cultural institutional and civilizational capital through immigration and expansion. So this is the limit of all markets, and why free markets are always a fraud: either you are increasing domestic capital or not. If you are not then you are consuming it. And if you are consuming it then you are an uncontrolled growth: a cancer. Whether you are private or public or individual.

    (important!)

    THE ORGANIZATION OF SOCIETY

    Defense (Military, Law)

    … Commons (politics, economics, law)

    … … Production (trade, business, industry, science)

    … … … Consumption (reproduction child care, education, home)

    … … … … Luxury Consumption (celebration, sports, entertainment, signal goods and services)

    … … … … … Destruction (dysgenia, immigration, conversion, crime, drugs, falsehood)

    That’s the net of it.

    -Curt Doolittle

  • CAREER ADVICE FOR MEN —“As a successful entrepreneur would you mind sharing so

    CAREER ADVICE FOR MEN

    —“As a successful entrepreneur would you mind sharing some career advice with me? Do you advise more of a focus on technical knowledge such as computer science or soft skills and selling?”—

    One lesson for every main in the world:

    -“Every man must learn or trade or else eventually become a scoundrel”– Spinoza.

    Always Always Always Learn a technical trade FIRST. In the most difficult field you can manage. The Trades, Engineering, Sciences, or Law. The source of the training or degree doesn’t matter after the first three years. Just create a record of sticking with a job for two years and then upgrading if you need to. Then after your first four to six years get the best you can. It makes no sense to try for google-facebook-apple unless you are in the top .1%. These are ridiclous outliers. Instead, the world is full of opportunities to master your field.

    The general career progression is Trade > Project Management > Sales > Contracts > Accounting-Finance > Executive > Marketing > Entrepreneur > CEO > Capital Raising > Diversification of Investments > Investor.

    Always, always, always try to follow that path to the best of your ability.

    Get the training you need to get a job. Work hard at learning the job as much as accomplishing it while you are young and have strength and energy.

    Always always always, make sure if you’re in a trade that you have paid off your house before you’re 35. This means it doesn’t matter what happens to your body after 40. Your demand is lower.

    FEEDBACK;

    It is far more under control than it appears. The people who will suffer most are the health care workers who will be devastated by the next few months. Small business will collapse. Fragile large businesses will fail. The very largest will survive and the entire economy will be healthier with fewer stronger companies. We will clear the economy of zombie companies in a way Americans can but Japanese and Chinese wont. Unemployment will be high, but the government will spare no expense in repairing that on a postwar scale – something younger generations haven’t experienced. I know how to do it. I assume others in the government know if I do.

    Expect the election period to be about how to do that.

    If this gets much worse then we may have to take initiative in framing that debate.

    The left will take the other frame.

    We may be able to drive the conversation a bit.

    I may have to change my lifestyle to make it happen.

    well, we’re running out of world storage so at some point it’s cheaper to give it away than pay to store it. It’s crushing the american interior oil biz, but that’s recoverable. It’s crushing the russians and the iranians and that’s the saudi’s goal.

    No. It’s doing the obvious. Stay home, borrow to save biz and jobs, lower regulation, shift production, repatriate industries, let the market find a therapy and then a cure. Only crisis was b/c chinese data. chinese labor infecting italy, spreading it via elder & health care.

    You’d better side with the middle class or you’ll be one of those people and unable to help them. One requires inputs in order to spend outputs. And charity is only possible interpersonally. Those people exist because of the destruction of the responsibility of the family.

    I hate to reinforce anything Brad Delong approves of, but this cartoon tells us more about (a) the fallacy that restarting business has anything to do with profits rather than preserving possibility of earning, (b) the fallacy of the trolley problem – the answer is to do nothing.
