Besides "JOBS", what else does the USA export?

1. I think trade is a farce.

If I understand it correctly, roughly half of the trade we do is actually inter-company trades. For example, if Ford takes a part, ships it to thier factory in Mexico to have work done, then it gets shipped back, that is considered trade.

If the trend of internationalizing our jobs continues in this fashion, we will be vulnerable to third world conditions in this, the richest country in the world.

2. Depleted Uranium?

[Postman]

3. Weapons.

6. No wonder I can't find any products "made in the USA" anymore.

I haven't needed depleted Uranium or military weapons in a few years.

The best thing we can do for ourselves is to learn to live on as little as possible.

The time is coming when that will be the reality. Travel light during this downward spiral.

5. Entertainment is No. 1 US export.

Entertainment is also the big business really supporting Arnold, by the way. (They want him to make CA really friendly to really big business, middle class be damned.)

7. Software...

... but Linux is going to undermine that.

Oh, and weapons, which ironically, often get pointed at us later.

[Woodstock]

19. Linux is good for the US and for the rest of the world

Linux will unite the world and free ordinary people to make a living. No problem there.

Micro$oft will work hand in hand with Bush to make the world hate our guts.

8. DDT (n/t)

[Cocoa]

9. food n/t

[Touchdown]

10. Corporatism

Under the auspices of a rather rosy word called "Globalization", which is also trumped up further by outright lying by saying "We export democracy".:eyes:

11. the knowledge to build advanced infrastructure

once water, electricity, telecomunications and transportation requirments are met, then it is easy to shift manufacturing to such places.

unfortunately the US has done this not so much to help the "natives" but originally to buttress countries susceptable to communist infiltration. now such infrastructure is capable of sustaining manufacturing and services once found only in the West.

it happened first in post-war japan, then south korea, then in central america and more recently in pakistan and india.

[Resistance Is Futile]

13. American exports

Weapons

Greed

Toxic waste

In summary, the only significant American export is human misery.

21. I was going to put this in, but you beat me too it.

Yes, Americans and Canadians, watch your forests disappearing and shipped overseas. Watch the erosion and pollution that will follow.

[Woodstock]

22. Forest giveaway in exchange for Bush campaign money

the biggest scam going

old growth fire-resistant trees far from property need to be "thinned" the moron said

and the ditto heads believed

next up, ANWR for 6 months of oil

[ikojo]

18. Violence

Depleted uranium

[Woodstock]

20. Porn and burgers

That will be our only job options down the line, thanks to King George and the fools who elected him.
