Trade Commission

“Hey, you could always read the 1,500-page cap-and-trade bill — that’s 1,200 plus 300 in amendments.

Here’s the one thing tonight: While America enjoys a Friday watching “Transformers,” the country is being transformed behind our backs.

“The House is sneaking in a vote on the mammoth 1,500 page Waxman-Markey climate change bill.

“Why are they burying this vote on a Friday?

“It could be because earth’s temperatures have flat-lined since 2001 — despite an increase in CO2 emissions (that’s an inconvenient stat), helping to swell the number of skeptical scientists to over 700 — or 13 times the scientists who wrote the supposed consensus.

“It could be because more Americans are figuring out that this energy policy is just an energy tax and guaranteed to do only one thing: Raise energy prices for consumers.”

The life fish food trade is a lucrative business in Hong Kong. Live fish caught for food export earns approximately $6000 a ton. A typical dinner can cost up to one hundred dollars per kilogram. The wholesale value on these fish is anywhere from eleven US dollars to sixty-three US dollars per kilogram, meaning theres a large markup and resale value. Hong Kong alone is estimated to be about four hundred million US dollars a year and over a billion dollars has been calculated as the size of the live fish idustry, because of this , the trade frequently uses illegal methods of collecting fish using cyanide, dynamite, or other illegal fishing practices.

Hong Kong and China are the dominant markets for the live fish, in addition to other cities in the region that have large Chinese populations, including Singapore and Kuala Lumpur(BusinessWorld Nov. 1999). In Southeast Asia, Singapore alone consumes 500 tons of live coral fish a year(ibid).

Consumers are important to this business because they are directly purchasing these fish species at restaurants and stores. In addition to these types of fishes, many juvenile fish are used for the live food trade. There are also cultural and regional preferences among consumers, for example, Chinese consumers often prefer their fish to be reddish in color believing the color to be auspicious. These preferences inevitably affect the biodiversity of marine life making certain fish species rarer to find.

A free trade deal between China and the Association of Southeast Nations (Asean) comes into affect this year.

The government Indonesia, which is part of Asean, says removing barriers and ensuring easy cross border trade will help grow the domestic economy.

But many workers are worried they will not be able to compete against a flood of Chinese products and Indonesian farmers, especially, worry that they will soon be out of jobs as consumers choose cheaper Chinese produce.

Thousands of workers have taken to the streets calling for parts of the trade pact to be delayed.

Especially for tobacco products (cigarette of all kinds), we usually use Trade Marketing as the most effective way. But what else to consider in building a tobacco brand?

This type of advertising not allowed as per code of conduct of broadcasting industry or advertising standards council. The adverts are called as SURROGATE ADVERTISING.
The best ways for tobacco products are Co-marketing, Ring tones, T Shirts, Caps, in shows etc.

I just saw this on a MSNBC article today "

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has also criticized the legislation, telling CNBC the bill amounted to a tax on energy, because utilities would past the costs of compliance on to consumers."

ouch.

Email your congressman before it is too late!

Buffett did say it was a regressive tax (he’s wrong. It’s not a true regressive tax, it’s more like a flat tax that has regressive effects).

That shouldn’t be a problem if you are a republican because you’re rich. Right? At least that’s the impression all the republican Y/A’ers offer.

Buffett also went on to say that any actual cost increases would have to be approved by your state/local gov. since they control price hikes by most utilities.

US corporations offshore their manufacturing components not to escape taxes(as they are still US corporations) nor regulations(imports must meet the same consumer safety standards as all other products sold in the US)but to escape living wages. While this creates a short term boom for investors, long term it creates trade deficits that reduce our GDP and economic growth. What needs to be done to eliminate off-shoring and trade deficits so that we may experience real economic growth?
Did anyone read my question?

Impose taxes to make up the dif US companies pay for OSHA & other fed BS.
Stop all work visas
Cut taxes.

I participated in a study that shared a bunch of information about Fair Trade. I felt compelled to make something of the information. Here is the result.

Please correct me if I understood it wrongly…

Allocative efficiency is achieved when production takes place at P=MC. But basically allocative efficiency is reflected from consumer welfare. For example, quality, choices and prices. In that case, productive efficiency comes hand in hand with allocative efficiency, though often there is a trade-off between price and quality.

If so, what is the deal with P=MC? What is the relationship between consumer surplus and marginal cost?

Thank you =)

All P=MC that means is that resources have been used as efficiently as possible, because the cost of a good is exactly equal to how much it cost to make. If it cost less to make than the price, P>MC which means there’s monopoly profits being made, a sign of inefficiency. If P<MC, it won’t get produced because doing so would entail a loss.
Consumers aren’t satisfied simply because P=MC. Consumers are satisfied whenever they’ve bought an item, because they obtain utility from it. If they thought the price was too high, they wouldn’t buy it. Whoever does buy a good at a certain price does so because they were willing to pay that much, and so they’re still satisfied. But if they were willing to pay more for a good than they actually did, they gain consumer surplus by not paying that much extra.

Here is context:

Barack Obama and Joe Biden support implementation of an economy‐wide cap‐and‐trade system to reduce carbon
emissions by the amount scientists say is necessary: 80
percent below 1990 levels by 2050. This market mechanism has worked before and will give all American consumers and businesses the incentives to use their ingenuity to develop economically effective solutions to climate change. The Obama‐Biden cap‐and‐trade policy will require all pollution credits to be auctioned.

Both Barack Obama and John McCain have included cap and trade incentives for R+D in green technology.
