America Fighting Back

THE AMERICAN EMPIRE is beginning to fight back (economically) against the Chinese hordes! After years of retreat, of selling U.S. bonds to them and owing them ever increasing amounts of hard currency, America is showing signs of life, an American concern has risen up and achieved a great victory within the ancient kingdom of China itself. Apple Computer will have a contract to sell I pads, I pods, and I phones to the Chinese. That amounts to about a billion potential customers for Apple, if not more. Which is to say, two or three times as many potential Chinese customers for Apple as there are human beings in the United States. Wow. If I were Apple, I'd get a move on, manufacture like hell, and advertise in China to the limit of what they allow. This could be the biggest, most profitable enterprise in corporate history; the Gadgetery electrification of all China! Apple could become the first multi trillion dollar corporation in the world's history, and its top execs could become the first trillionaires in individual flesh and blood human history. Apple's top executives could possibly build and occasionally reside in the world's first one hundred thousand square foot condos. Perhaps America could even follow up this economic bonanza with further foreign incursions, especially in China. Perhaps we the American people could pay off the huge debt we owe to China, and make them owe us money instead! Make them sell us their government bonds! We now live in a world of vast international cartel competition. An American feels inherently inclined to root for American corporations to succeed in international competition, strangely enough. What we ought really to hope for is a massive movement on the part of the seven billion exploited people in the world, to gain equality. Equality for all. Also, a little more international cooperation, instead of international competition might help. China wants to outlaw weapons in space, as does everyone, execpt the United States. The entire world wants to eliminate all nuclear weapons - except our beloved United States. So, America has some work to do, with regard to achieving and perpetuating civilization, and averting planetary devastation.. But at least Apple is in China.
