THE ROAD TO THE REAL GALT'S GULCH
Posted by davidlaibow 12 years, 5 months ago to Politics
There is a real Galt's Gulch, if you've got the guts to get up and go there, while there's still time!
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
Real men stay and fight? Tell that to Ellis Wyatt, Richard Halley, John Galt, etc. Visit my website, "3w.caballahouse.myshopify.com" and take a look at my products, "Materni-t-Shirt" and "Modes-t-Gown". Those products will NEVER be on sale at Wal-Mart or Target, because I won't do business with those companies.
Most of the governments in Asia are so right-wing they'd consider Ayn Rand a redistributionist Bolshevik. Mainland China is abandoning Marxism in favor of a crudely thought out, inefficient mercantilism that is so dependent on consumer-goods export that the economic decline in the U.S. will sink its economy. The two most productive economies here are Thailand followed by the Philippines. The spirit of free enterprise definitely prevails in the Philippines.
As for running off and hiding: we didn't come here to "hide". We sold our house in New Jersey at the top of the market in late 2008, and came here for FAMILY reasons. All the bad things in the U.S. began happening after we got here. But I'll say it again: I'm a Jew, and I've read "Mein Kampf" from cover to cover. If I had been a German Jewish family head in 1926, I would have had my family and my money out of Germany by the end of 1927 -- five full years before the Nazi takeover. I may be more familiar with the nuts and bolts of a totalitarian takeover than you are -- and when the gates close, you won't have anything left to fight with. Feel free to contact me directly at any time at "davidlaibow1215[at]yahoo.com". Sincerely, Dave Laibow
also, you read that alot of terrorism cells are in the Philippines and there is anti-american sentiment. you seem to contradict that last part above.
If he says "I'll hire you", he reports his intention to hire me to the government, who runs a notice of his intention in one of the national newspapers. If a Filipino with equal qualifications applies, I'm toast -- he's REQUIRED to hire the Filipino.
This is a WONDERFUL country for retirement, or retirement and starting a small business (and if you can start a business that will give full-time employment to 10 Philippine citizens (minimum wage or better, plus all payroll deductions and employer contributions), you will get full and enthusiastic cooperation from the government (contact the Economic Counselor at the nearest Philippine Consulate General), but it ISN'T a good place to come to and seek employment. 90% of the population speaks English, the people are friendly, and both major political parties are enthusiastically right-wing free enterprisers! "Mabuhay!" means "welcome!", and when they say it, they MEAN it!!!
Unless you have to find employment working for someone else, I recommend retiring and/or retiring and starting a small business here to anyone. There are no US-style protections against employment discrimination, and the deck is stacked in favor of Filipinos from the get-go. On the other hand, most of the foreign capital is coming into Thailand and the Philippines from North America and Western Europe.
You can communicate directly with me at "davidlaibow1215[at]yahoo.com" and I'll tell you more about relocation. I'm not running a business and I don't take fees or commissions from people I recommend contacting -- I just believe that Ayn Rand's prophecy is coming true, and Asia is the place to head for. Sincerely, Dave Laibow
As far as love in the gulch, my beautiful and charming Filipina wife and I are having a great time, and my kids are adding to the crop of grandchildren. I don't know what Dagny what's-her-name and John Galt are involved in down the road from us, but I wish they'd either close their windows at night, or that she's stop calling him "Hank! Hank!" during moments of what I presume are moments of extreme passion.
