It's more than just the phone. I think the issue is that so many people are no longer on the same page when it comes to life interests, values or almost anything. The phone correlates with an escape for people to an area where they can find people who share what is important to them. People would probably have more care for what's going on around them if they felt the people doing things around them had a care for them but most don't. People get more enjoyment from what's going on in the phones than the people around them. This includes family too and sometimes more especially family.
Agreed. It would be one thing if we lived in a small town or village where everybody knew everybody else. Or even a nation of shared values like Christiandom. As is, the phone is an escape from the present. It is the replacement for the tv, radio and newspapers of not so long ago.
Damn, I had a long post and deleted it by mistake. In short though, the government has to negotiate with corporations that have the skills to access the resources Argentina has in a manner that works to the advantage of the people of Argentina but that means government involvement not less government involvement. You'd want a joint venture perhaps, capital controls to ensure reinvestment, subsidies to make it profitable, etc... this is where it gets tricky though because the government can negotiate deals that are good for foreign corps and bad for the people. I wouldn't be shocked if the jews come away richer but not necessarily everyone else, not to mention the potential cultural destruction that can be wrought as well. The USA is rich but at what cost to the culture? I think most people would be prefer being poorer if they got video games without blue haired tranny feminists making the video games.

At the risk of being accused of main character syndrome, I think this must be a reply to my question here. But interesting read either way.
Oh, you're right but at least you found the post anyway.
