I'm reading about the reduction of violence around the world and throughout history.

At times it became better to stop murders and not to use young men as cannon fodder as their value as economic entities increased (wealth was found in what was produced and traded not how much territory you had). And now all of a sudden their is massive unemployment in the US. Has the utility of US employees crashed for the corporations as they make & sell their ware all around the world and are no longer dependant on the American worker or the american consumer? Of course I'd say a big "yes". Second question - is this one reason why things like regulations are being reduced by ceos?

1. IMO yes and yes. And regulations are seen as a cost, hence the desire to

turn America into poverty and a toxin waste dump. They would like to bring manuf/production back here to a very cheap labor force and minimal regulations. The hell with the country and the citizens - the corporate mafia is insular to the betterment of the country and the needs of the citizens for a decent quality of life. In short, they don't give a F and IMO many are sociopathic.
