Trump just announced the U.S. will now be selling a "GOLD CARD" for $5 million which is basically an instant green card plus a path to citizenship (twitter.com)

You are correct with all of that but the US is charging 5 times more than China is for the same deal currently.

I know a lot of people who spent $1 million to set themselves up as in China as 'semi-nationals' who spend a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes and employ a lot of people.

Most of the devices you use to share your thought with us, regardless of where you are in the world, share their origins with some of those people. Be it access entry point, telecoms system, servers or handling logistics for physicality.

I think that Trump is just trying to keep the keel upright as India is about to become the new China and if we're not all in the same boat then whoever gets the wind sets the pace.

People did not vote for this shit.

He didn't run on this shit.

This is a rug pull being performed on the base.

This policy will suppress wages and make housing even more unaffordable for American citizens

There is no defense for this shit.

Again you are perfectly right with all of that.

I'm just pointing out the similarities that the succeeding nations are doing at the moment.

I don't like it and feel it is still globalisation but set to a different beat.

These 'new jobs' will still be for maximum profit and so the cheaper the workforce the better it is for shareholders.

If the taxpayers=shareholder card being hinted at by Trump works then bully for the US!

However history has shown that it's not about everyone having, it's about making sure that some have not. If that value system is to be maintained then regardless of democratic choice there will be an imbalance towards to those with gaining more.

If I were a conspiracy theorist (Which I'm not) I'd say the whole thing was orchestrated to further divide the rich from poor. As it is I think it's just about treading water against actual threats to the future of the species.

The Roman empire sold citizenship for money.

How did that end?

You show me a working example of any perpetual civilisation and I'll jump in with both feet first.

As it is it seems like a state of constant flux to me.

But I'm sure, this time, it'll work out just right.

The Roman empire sold citizenship for money.

Roman Empire ended when they allowed Barbarians to enlist in the military as a path to citizenship.

The payment for Citizenship was not what did it: Having a HIGHLY Training opposition force within the Roman Empire did.

This GOLD card is no different than what a lot of Asian countries already have in place. The sky is not falling in these countries either.

Further, it's $5 Million Dollars! People who have that lying around are not the same type of people we are trying to keep out. IF anything, this the type of person to start a US company.

Finally -- like all things Trump -- this is his first salvo in his negotiation. There are currently no countries out there that have a Gold Visa program that allow an easy path to citizenship, so that will most likely be removed.

Suppress wages, yeah, because the third worlders are just itching to drop 5 mil to come to the US to work for a wage. Jesus dude
