China is a great example of how a tiny few can run a country on the backs of the people. What it needs to prosper is the West buying its goods. At the moment Western jobs are going to China by the day. Not just jobs for the low skilled, China is advancing and taking high skilled and high tech jobs. How many of the robots we see in their infancy are made in the West and how many in the East?

Ford opened a car plant in Mexico, so they can sell those cars in the US. Just one example of the 0.01% exporting jobs to increase their profits.

Now factor robotic machines into the equation. They won't need to export jobs, they just sack workers. Can anyone here target areas like Detroit and see the sales that come from there? Detroit was once known as Motor City. Look at what happened when the car plants closed.

Imagine Silicon Valley going to Bejing. Already most of the computers we use are made in the East. What's to stop the jobs of design and program them going East?

Who outsources to a Third World country already? Besides Barry. Who states, American models are too expensive and he's a supporter of the Third World Cam Studio System. Will his boss decide someone in the Philippines can do his job for half the price or a Philippino starting cam site using the studios Xlovecam use? And selling to the West?

The Internet is a great place to start a business, whether you live in New York or Manilla.

This is already happening, the millions voting for Trump either know he's unfit to run a country and don't care, because they have nothing to lose. Or so badly educated they don't see his flaws.

Your "opportunities" are all based on having the products to sell, ability to show those products and people to buy your products. Amazon, Pornhub, Chaturbate and similar are closing offline shops and pornsites down all the time. So you have to compete with the big boys to make those opportunities.

In a Democracy it's not down to the individual. Trump is standing for election on a platform of turning around the decline of living standards for millions. Sanders stood on a platform of changing the broken system, UKIP stood on the platform of taking away power from an elite and won. This will take time to change, or it will slowly get worse for the middle classes, which is where out wages come from. The Middle Class or the West, so thinking an online world market will be there. Check your sales from the Third World. That market is under threat.
