Businesses do not create jobs?

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/10/jeb-bush-hillary-clinton-112339.html?hp=l4


Hello all,  the topic for today is the Jeb Bush and Hilary Clinton fiasco.  During a speech Clinton had told people that business does not create jobs.  However, businesses are the ones who create jobs and so does government.  Jeb Bush had pointed out that there are not enough jobs being created.  This can apply to government and businesses, but private business are the ones who hire the most people out of any sector.  They are the ones who need the workers, but jobs are not being created because the economy is still a bit rocky.  In addition, people are being more careful about their money because they do not want to suffer like they did in 2008 and in 2001.  Therefore, people are spending less so businesses do not need to hire as many people. 

The government needs to provide an incentive for businesses to bring business back into the states to create jobs.  Businesses have to think about cost-effectiveness or prices are going to increase if they are not cost-effective.  If it was cost-effective for businesses to bring their factories back to America then they would hire more people, but until then they will keep it in other countries for cheaper labor.

Everyone Needs to Calm Down about Ebola

Seriously people really need to calm it down with Ebola.  Especially, those who live in the United States, we generally do not get in contact with other people's fluids.  

Furthermore, those who are in contact with fluids need to protect themselves from becoming sick.  There are three cases one in Madrid and there were two in the United States. 

Everyone has to find some new thing to worry about. 

For those health care workers who were in the countries that have Ebola should be quarantined when return so as to not infect other health care workers who are treating them.

I feel bad for those who are infected, but at the same time people have to think logically about the situation. The media is not helping because they always have to be the most dramatic, they are going to keep talking about Ebola because they like to scare the people and make it seem worse then it is which it largely contained to one area of the world.

China Believes that Protestors are Influenced by Britain and United States

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/11/world/asia/some-chinese-leaders-claim-us-and-britain-are-behind-hong-kong-protests-.html?_r=0


Hello, it has been awhile since I have posted. I have found an interesting article regarding the protesting in China.

As some of you may know China has been experience protesting in regards to democracy.  The people want democracy rather then communism.  I do not think that America and Britain is behind the protesting.  I think that the people are tired of being controlled by a government who restricts expression and speech that does not align with the values of communism. 

The Communist party controls the media and controls the internet.  The people have no ability to express their concerns to the government through speech or through the media. They are tired of being oppressed therefore they have resulted to protesting.  

Protesting is their only means to get the message heard and it expands media coverage worldwide. It is difficult to supress or imprison a large group of people who have gained the attention of the world.  Therefore this protects them from obtaining the maximum harm that a government could do like massive killing or massive imprisonment.  They could do all those things if it was a smaller group who could not influence media attention like they have done before. 

All in all, just because these people are protesting the government does not mean that countries are funding them.  They want more freedom.
