898 (3 of 10 series) Mr. Donald Trump should first concentrate on Export Competitiveness of United States


Gone was the colonial era of Euro-American supremacy in production of goods and services, and their capabilities to palm them off to the world at exorbitant and extortionate prices to the rest of the world. Both in production of labor-intensive goods and services, and the production of technology-intensive goods and services, several competitive countries have arisen, and are still arising. As long as there was no competition from East and South East Asia, American Businesses prospered and they were able to pay high salaries and wages to their blue and white collared workers and employees, and the white settlers in United States drew bloated remunerations in relation to their qualifications, skills, quantity and quality of their output. American Cities prospered and glowed. Once competition from East Asia and South East Asia soured, and the Asian goods and services started making waves not only in global markets, but also in Euro-American Markets, American Cities started withering away. Euro-American cities also withered.

An Example of American City withering: Detroit, Michigan. Example of European City withering: London. But London, recouped itself, by creating tax havens such as British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Gibralter etc. Consequently London has not become a dead city, and its prosperity continues. But Detroit died, because it could not shift to some nefarious means. It knew only car making and hence it suffered death.


Mr. Trump ought to concentrate on dead cities, dying cities, stagnating cities. He seems to think that American industries having work stations abroad, can be brought back, by punishing them. That idea may be only partly correct. If American labor becomes more competent, productive, cheap, abundant, and the American Taxation system becomes less corrupt and less punitive, many American Industries will definitely come back. But, under the administration of Mr. Trump, this is not likely to happen.

A perception that American White Natives are averse to Manual Work and Menial Work


Knowledgeable persons say that because American White Natives are averse to take up jobs involving manual labor, and menial tasks, Mexican Laborers are crossing the borders, and that the American Industries operating in U.S.A., have no alternative except to employ the Mexicans. Can Trump make American White Natives to take up manual labor jobs, and menial tasked jobs?

A perception that American White Natives are not inclined to study subjects involving MENTAL LABOR


Knowledgeable persons say that American White Natives prefer easy subjects like Arts, Fashion Design etc. as compared to intellectually toiling subjects like Mathematics, Physics. There is an impression, owing to this reason only, many jobs involving intellectual toil are being offered to Indian and Chinese students who have no alternative except to accept them at lower wages, because they want to retain their foothold in United States. Else, going back to India or China, they may have to take up some listless jobs. (In India, Engineers are applying to Municipal Sweeper jobs). According to one understanding, it will take another ten years, to prepare the present 10 year aged children for their entry into higher education courses involving intellectual toil. Mr. Trump may have to do lot of home work, in this front.

897 (2 of 10 series) Mr. Donald Trump should not act like a Selfie-seeker who walks backwards and falls in a Waterfall


Mr. Trump should not act like a Selfie-seeker who walks backwards, and falls in a waterfall. When we see the Executive Orders passed by Mr. Trump, the newly elected 2017-21 American President, we get an impression that he is acting in haste. The President of the theoretically most powerful country in the world in terms of weapons and wealth, is expected to act with great circumspection and discretion. Any misadventure or mala fide act on his part can-, not only land his country into an irretrievable trap, but also throw the entire world into chaos, disaster and misery, not exclusively on account of destruction from terrorism and wars, but more intensely from economic collapses. Mr. Trump may be a successful businessman in his own right, but the fact remains that worldwide, businesses can make profits, for extraneous reasons which cannot, at all, be attributed to the business acumen of their owners. The only condition for those businesses to get benefit from such extraneous and windfall profits will be that, the owners should not kill a golden goose. On the other hand, even an unsuccessful person in his personal domains can sometimes lead his Nation to great heights of Peace and Prosperity. Successes and failures depend on a number of factors.

In Telugu language, there are several good proverbs, which depict the misadventurism of Mr. Trump.
Telugu maxim/proverb Approx. English gist Observation
kOtiki kobbari kAya doriki naTlu Like monkey which got into is hand a coconut. The monkey which catches a coconut tosses it, plucks it, hits it, does everything with it, till such time the coconut breaks.
krotta bicca gADu proddu eragaDu A new beggar does not know the time to beg. A new beggar ignores not only the correct time to beg, but also ventures to beg everywhere. He does not know where to beg, when to beg, from whom to beg, how to beg.
asalE kOti, kallu trAgindi, nippu tokkindi. It is already a monkey, it drank toddy and got inebriated, then it fell on cinders of fire. A monkey, by its very nature is fickle, and unpredictable in behavior. The misbehavior worsens, when the monkey consumes alcohol. Then if it falls on cinders of fire, and burns its feet/legs, it will make great hue and cry, till its pain and intoxication subsides.
kOti punDu brahma rAkshasi An abscess of a monkey, becomes a giant demon. An abscessed monkey may behave like a monstrous demon, and become uncontrollable.
konDa muccu peLLiki kOti peranTALLu For the wedding of a Lemur, apes are invited as guests, bridesmaids, groomsmen etc. America inviting British PM, French President, German Chancellor, Russian President to share leadership of the world (or conversely, the other leaders longing to share the world leadership with Mr. Trump, falls under this category)




yb-donkey's personal views which are not intended to be imposed on others



WHO CAN MONITOR AND CONTROL THE PROFLIGACY OF UNITED STATES?

U.S.A. is world's largest debtor. But, countries of the world have no alternative except to park their reserves with American Banks or the American Federal Reserve Bank (which role, earlier Bank of England used to discharge to some extent). Even China parks its surplus reserves with US, knowing pretty well that all eggs cannot be kept in one basket. Consquently, when US sneezes, all other countries catch cold, and they too not only sneeze, but they also cough incessantly calling "Recession ! Recession !!".

Though theoretically, European Banks can accept US Dollar funds of China's Exchange Reserves, calling them Euro Dollars, or some other term, they have not been able to prove themselves to be powerful competitors as Reserve currency countries, and Reserve Currency Banks. IMF and BIS (Bank for International Settlements), try to control/regulate all other countries in the world, they have not been able to take any corrective measures in respect of the profligacy of the United States.

U.S.A. lost control of its reckless imports. U.S. does not adequately takes care of its balance of trade adversity. Even during the reign of Mr. Barack Obama, this happened.

WALL STREET INVESTMENT BANKS


Wall Street Investment Banks have not stopped their nefarious methods of working.

Nor did the American Banks who excel in SUB-PRIME LENDING, which they indulge in consciously, have learnt any lessons from their 2008 traumatic experiences. They have lost their sight of Banking prudence, probably because they are accustomed to being bailed out by US Government and Federal Reserve. US Govt. and the Federal Reserve, instead of trying to discipline the erring Bankers, and saving the American Banking, buy time and postpone the problem, pampering them with fund support which they do not deserve.

Neither the Wall Street Investment Banks, nor the American Commercial Banks will listen to Mr. Donald Trump, even if he tries to reform them, while Trump attempting to discipline Wall Street Banks and other Commericial Banks, itself is a remote thing which may not happen at all.

U.S. Government has already exceeded its maximum permissible limits of its Internal Borrowings, and External Borrowings. Last time, when a crisis situation arose during Obama's Rule, American Congress had to come to his rescue by raising the maximum limit at a last moment. It is quite possible that similar situations can recur, during Trump's tenure.

882 Is Mr. Bernie Sanders, runners-up to Hillary Clinton for Democratic Presidential Candidature, turning Pro-Trumper?


Is Mr. Bernie Sanders, runners-up to Hillary Clinton for Democratic Presidential Candidature, turning into Pro-Trumper? Ans: It appears so. See this link: Click here to go to http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/bernie-sanders-can-work-with-trump-233532, an study how Mr. Sanders is eager to bend and kneel!. Prima facie it may appear that, losing-rivals in contests ought to co-operate with winners, and extend their helping hand in furthering the goals of the subject matter of the Competition, such as a "A Company, A Political Party, A Nation" or anything similar. But should there not be limits for such co-operation? Else, if the losers join the winners, what will happen to the innocent supporters, sympathizers, voters, writers, etc. who stood behind the losing campaigners? Are the supporters, sympathizers, voters, writers, media, workers, fools? In case of bourgeoisie politicians and parties, since all the parties and politicians have same or similar philosophies, such drastic shifts become understandable. But, this cannot be done in case of (self-proclaimed) Socialist politicians like Bernie Sanders.

"... I don’t think it makes sense to say, ‘No, we’re not gonna work in any way in any form with the Trump administration. ..."

"...Trump has talked appropriately about a collapsing infrastructure: our roads, bridges and water systems. If he is prepared to work with us on rebuilding America’s crumbling infrastructure and creating millions of jobs and doing it in a way that doesn’t privatize our infrastructure or give tax breaks to billionaires, yes, let’s work together . ..."

"...If he is prepared to work with us on a trade policy which works for the American worker and not just the CEO of large multinational corporations, let’s work together on those areas ..."

"...There will be no compromise on bigotry... There can be no compromise there, There can be no compromise, in my view, on protecting American democracy, working against voter suppression that many Republican governors are trying to bring about, and in my view there can’t be any compromise on climate change. ..."




ybrao-a-donkey's views which are not intended to be imposed on others:

I know I day-dream. Mr. Bernie Sanders also seem to day-dream, when he imposes some conditions on Mr. Donald Trump (see the above conditions). Is Mr. Sanders over-estimating himself? Does Mr. Trump need Sanders' support? Even if he needs, will he care to obtain the support, by melting down his own well-published convictions, fancies, announcements, whims, what not? Even if Trump is ready to compromise, will his Republican supporters, Business and Industrialist supporters, allow it?

Socialism is not just a question of some Allocations of funds for Infrastructure , or some modification of Trade Policies. The scope and spectrum of Socialism is too vast, and is un-compromise-able. If an American Socialist President could not be elected in 2016, he-she can be elected in 2020 or 2024. Four years period is too short a time, in histories of Nations. Ordinarily, there will not be any need to compromise.

QUALITY OF VOTERS AND QUALITY OF MPs REALLY MATTER


What determines the future of a Nation is the quality of its voters, and the quality of MPs they elect. In the interregnum between two elections, what genuine Socialists can do, will be-- to strive to improve the quality of voters, and the candidates they vote for.

Question: Why the quality of voters and MPs, is so important?


Ans: Introducing and implementing True Total Socialism, is not going to be as easy as Demonetizing a Nation's currency, or pushing Nations into skirmishes, battles and wars. When an effort is made to introduce true total socialism, even Civil Wars which may have an intensity greater than the Civil War which Abraham Lincoln fought, may arise/result. Without good quality citizens, and citizens' representatives, Socialism will fail a la the Bolshevik Revolution 1917. Anyway, a Self-proclaimed Socialist, expecting much from a hardcore Capitalist like Mr. Donald Trump, will be a wild goose chase. It will be like a thirsty person trying to quench his thirst, while running to capture water from a mirage.

There is a beautiful Telugu language verse to express this idea:


Poet Vemana, महा कवि वेमन. 15th Century A.D. Book: Vemana Satakam. वेमन शतकं. వేమన శతకం. Verse in Roman Script:

goDDuTAvu pituka kunDa kom pOyinA
panDla nUDa tannu, pAla niDadu
lObhi vAni naDuga lAbhambu lEdayA
viSva dAbhi rAma vinura vEma.

Hindi script:
गॊड्ड टावु पितुक कुंड कॊंपोयिना
पंड्ल नुड तन्नु पाल निडदु
लोभि वानि नडुग लोभंबु लेदया
विश्व दाभिराम विनुर वेम.

In Telugu script: గొడ్డు టావు పితుక కుండ కొంపోయినా
పండ్ల నూడ తన్ను పాల నిడదు
లోభి వాని నడుగ లాభంబు లేదయా
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినుర వేమ.

Englsh Gist: If we take a pot, and approach a barren-cow to milk it, it will kick us in such a way that we lose our teeth. But it will not yield any milk. This simile is used to justify the moral taught in the third line of the verse: There is no use of approaching and begging a miser (for loan or for financial help). A miser will not help.

Vemana wrote thousands of great verses in Telugu language. They convey not only ethics and morals, but they also communicate spiritual, mystical, renunciation-al (vairAgya) messages, most of which are secular. They are not religious prayers. About 5000 of such verses, in Telugu script are now available for download on internet. Late C.P. Brown, who worked for the East India Company in India, in 19th Century, translated many of them into English prose. PDF version of Brown's prose translation is available on Internet. One can google.
