Everyone is biased. If you're from Ireland like your profile suggests, you're lucky one, it's most finest bankrupts from them all. Of course, US will look good from Ireland. At least after all said and done and great deal of the Americans work for food and bankrupt shale oil companies are bought by oil giants, they could make this industry profitable again. Ireland, I'm afraid, will be back to growing potatos. But again, maybe it's only me, who has rather grim look at everything when it comes to the world economic crisis.

In general despite one of the biggest fuck ups ever Ireland is actually in a decent state and the future is bright. The U S of A is in a much better position and as I said they will go from strength to strength. Their unemployment rate is very low all things considered.
|
Misleading data. our unemployment numbers as released by the government are not accurate. Better to look at labor participation rate (the actual number of peple not working vs working) which is at an all time low last I remember. We will not go from strength to strength. We will be luky to limp along with the rest of the world. The business climate over here is horrible, to much red tape and regulation is strangling off new business and start ups.
|
its not to much regulation, its just badly made regulation. we in germany regulate every fuckn piece of a product. but its made in a working manner, so it makes products better(like cars or watches, or beer)
|
Its too much regulation.
|
so, which regulation is too much?
|
obamacare is a good start, the epa also. Over regulation has made it to costly to start new businesses in many fields. It means less compitition from business so less progress. but it really depends on where you live and what feild of business or product. Regulation tends to be specific, probably why there is so much of it. From local city and county ordinaces, from state regultaion, to federal regulation. There is a reason that business are failing and new ones aren't opening up. Her are some articles that go more in depth than i can.
