Similar story (different villain) in why there is no longer Carson Pirie Scott (Chicago department store), Toys R Us, KayBee Toys, Payless, etc etc etc
not to wish bad to happen sooner but hopefully it happens just before the election as the real estate crash in 2008 so it lands squarely on those who cause this one the reptards
Ah, good ol' imperialism. Who was it that called it "The Highest Stage of Capitalism"?
Finance capital, chasing the falling rate of profit as production increases. Resorting to exporting capital and what we now call "off-shoring" of production. Creating monopolies and monopoly pricing.
After WWII, in the face of a vigorous threat from the left, back-stopped by the deformed workers state and the Communists, capital sought to moderate international trade competition. Beginning with the Bretton Woods Conference, the framework of the present version of the global economy developed thru the GATT, WTO, EEC, IMF/World Bank.
But here at "The End of History," uhhh, not so much.
Part of what drove the closer integration of Europe from Common Market to Community was a need for scale to compete. China;s emergence from the Third World intensifies this pressure, even as capital chases even cheaper labor supplies..
Trump, however, threatens to further destabilize this indelicate balance.
And Our Fearless Leader's tariff tweet flame wars just douse it in petrol and toss a match on it.
I had heard it was Mrs. William Paley, whose husband ran CBS. This Yale publication cites an editor of Yale Book of Quotations who says his attribution to Mrs. Windsor was incorrect, Paley was quoted saying it a year earlier.
He then corrects his attribution again, finding it a year earlier, in a New York Daily News gossip columnist's reporting in Oct. 1967 "'A woman can never be too rich or too thin,' said one of the Beautiful People as reported by Suzy Knickerbocker last spring.".
Paley lived in New York, and Mrs. Windsor lived in Paris. So I'm inclined to think it's Paley.

Eat the rich
Pitchforks go right through cash.
Do you have any idea how rude it is to introduce facts and logic into the discussion?
Actually, Lampert isn't an intentional grifter. Turns out he's more of a free market fanatic: http://evonomics.com/the-ce...
Tell me, earthling - what is "un-yoosed mun-ee"?
So, he's an "objectivist"...the end result is even worse than if he was a simple grifter. Trump=simple grifter. McConnell="objectivist".
While the torches will reduce that cash into ash.
Time to dust off the guillotine....

Either works for me. Can I use barbeque sauce?
"You can never be too rich or too thin," uh, Karen Carpenter proved that was incorrect!

That's probably why they're making noise about maybe doing something to possibly curtail tariffs on Mexico if fearless leader doesn't mind.
