This is an OUTRAGE!

Only "abuse" of America that I see is the plan to dock once a month and drop their waste and trash off. While I'm impressed by the innovation, they should receive no benefit of American utilities, heathcare or other taxpayer subsidized services.

As to the plan to sell their products at market price, there's no winning there. If they were selling them at 3rd world prices, we'd claim they were "dumping" them on the US market.

As Waitone stated, the US Govt put Corporate America in this hole...never fire until you have identified your target.

I meant to reply to this earlier but I had to give myself ample time to stop laughing.

The outrage isn't that government is entwined throughout every waking moment of our lives.

The outrage isn't that a person that worked 80-90 hours a week to build up his/her company has endless governmental BS to put up with, nor is the outrage that they could lose everything in the blink of an eye to said government, or to some scumbag unethical lawyer with a plaintiff that makes up some crap about "harassment" or some other garbage.

The outrage isn't even that a mob of liberal losers can vote to have the government steal the companie's assets because "of greedy, morally bankrupt men who have no integrity and will throw Americans out of work to further build their own personal fortunes" who "deserve" to have their assets stolen for the benefit of said loser liberals.

Nope, the outrage is that somebody had brains enough to tell the government and the lefty-loser-liberal-handwringing-Hillary-loving-hypocites to go to hell, and take their business elsewhere. Gee, for me the outrage is that people who actually create jobs didn't think to do this a whole lot sooner.
 
Consider the Audience, Progunner...

It is amazing how many of you people think exporting American jobs is cool, or how opponents to this OUTRAGE or just a bunch of Evull Libruhls.

What kind of job market are you hoping your kids inherit?

Or does Rush Limbaugh not let you think about that side of the equation?
 
Ummm Martin-
I don't think exporting "American" jobs is "cool" at all.
I believe America perfected the Free Market System and America's .gov has bastardized, restrained and hobbled it to the point of non-recognition.

I believe that a return to a truly free market system (unfettered by undue .gov interference) would solve, not nearly everything, but much. But that's just one man's opinion.

Just WHAT is YOUR solution?
Just what is it that "OUTRAGES" you? Please be specific.

"...exporting American jobs..." Again I ask: Where is it written that these jobs belong to Americans? It seems to me that this venture may put as many foreign workers out of a job as it does Americans. I don't have a constitutional right to a job. I had to get an education and I have to maintain my skills to be a viable commodity in the job market. There are NO guarantees! These entrepreneurs are simply doing what is necessary to remain viable in a very competitive market.

I hope they inherit one that has the least amount of governmental intrusion. If that means they have to out-think or out-work everybody else, well, that's fine with me.

Yeah. I'm a sycophant, but you're a free-thinker. :rolleyes:

Is the answer more governmental control?
 
Theoretical extreme:

Suppose a foreign country enslaves all its citizens and hires them out at cents an hour while obtaining operating capital by stealing from or conquering other countries. Should there be restrictions on U.S. companies using labor in that country? What? There should be? Okay then, where's the line? How many human rights violations, how much pollution should be tolerated before the U.S. puts restrictions on U.S. corporations' use of foreign labor and purchase of products from those countries? How much should be tolerated before the U.S. bans the use of that labor altogether? What's the general formula for how the U.S. government should set restrictions on the use of foreign labor or products?
 
Only 3.1 miles out?

I'm an engineer in what is left of the US Merchant Marine. Although I'm only a Morlock that works below, I do know there is a 200 mile "Exclusive Economic Zone" around all countries. For one thing, this law was made to keep fishing fleets from rapeing the coasts of other countries. I'm curious if it applies here.

There used to be gambling ships off of Los Angeles back in the 30's. But that was the old 12 mile limit.

I've been around long enough to see our merchant fleet dwindle to almost nothing as a result of taxes, regulations and government indifference. Companies have resorted to using run-away flag ships with horrible safety & living conditions to escape the bureaucracy. It's gotten so bad that the US has had to hire foreign ships to carry military cargo. But of course the executives blame American Seamen, who pay taxes and everything else mentioned earlier.

I can see valid points on both side of this argument & can only say "Welcome to the REAL WORLD."

I'm just tired of see this once great nation lower itself instead of bringing other countries up to a higher standard. Yeah I know, I'm dreaming.
 
Bacon,

Three miles is very close indeed; sounds to me like a way to mask a dope importation operation as well.

I remember one of the fishing - so-called Cod wars - between Iceland and Great Britain in 1975. Iceland extended it's maritime fisheries from a 50 mile to a 200 mile limit. There were skirmishes regularly between fishing trawlers and Icelandic Coast Guard gunboats and British Navy frigates; usually in the form of manoeuver, bluff and some ramming now and then. It got pretty hot and Iceland threatened to close the NATO air base at Keflavik.
