Theres a very good example on the BBC news presently how the government of one country is put under pressure by another countries need for more production and profits.Japan was asked today by our British Prime minister,David Cameron,How it would respond if Britain pulled out of the European Common Market,Japan in response warns that it would pull out of production in the UK.This would have catastrophic consequences for Britain as a lot of employment in the north relies on Japanese manufacturers,Especially car manufacture by such companies like Toyota,Nissan,Etc which use the cheap labour of a relatively poor labour market compared to the rest of the EU as a centralized production point to distribute Japanese cars to the rest of Europe.Japan would be taxed quite heavily exporting to the EU if Britain was not a member of the EU.
I think this serves as a good example of how present development,manufacture and distribution of Cars.And how the various governments behave in a competitive negative way towards each other is very non productive and dangerous for all of our futures.Somehow world manufacture of important products needs to be cooperatively rather than competitively organised.
In a similar way World wide warfare needs to be discoraged and stopped.The UK is also a bad example of a weapon manufacturing country that distributes this evil equipment worldwide.We don't need to encourage warfare between countries. In fact a ban on all weapon production needs to be enforced in my opinion.
What can i say that's encouraging?Very little.Our governments are so far away from where we need to be for the survival of humanity that its very difficult to see a future of positive development of new inventions that would help our situation.
