Re: [spiers] International Business Agreements
Hi John,
I would generally agree with the free market idea,
provided the 400 billion drug business were not part
of the NAFTA equation.
After all, 14,000 trucks/yr is no small task to
inspect for Cocaine and contraband - out of which - we
inspect about 5%. Imagine what the inspection would be
in a free market equation?
We need to understand that Mexico does not equal
Canada
Thanks
Alex

International Business Agreements
Fwd: Business Proposal
Re: [spiers] Fwd: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
A chuckle,
For those poor souls who don't care to read much less
research anything about World affairs, Nigeria is one
of the most corrupt countries on earth. This would be
reason enough, at least for me, to have a weary eye on
such requests.

Well, was the road ever open? My understanding is NAFTA was to be the start
of Mexican truckers operating freely in the USA. Refusing Mexican truckers
access to USA is no change, so I can't see how no change can affect the
relation, except if Mexico retaliates in some way for unmet expectations.
Why any country would enter into a trade agreement with United States is
beyond me, becuase we will simply ignore out part and demand the other side
obey the agreement. If Mexico wants economic improvement, it ought to
repudiate NAFTA and unilaterally declare free trade with USA. No duties on
exports from Mexico, perhaps a flat 3% duty on all imports, no quotas or
restrictions... true free trade.
United States businesses would organize and orient themselves to this new
opportunity and money and talent would flow from USA to Mexico. Goods and
services would flow back. So much trucking would be required to handle the
goods that US Teamsters and Mexican Teamsters would join forces and agree to
share the wealth.
NAFTA needs to be scrapped and replaced with classic free trade. Any
country, especially Mexico, can take the advantage in the international trade
game with USA.

Fwd: Business Proposal
Folks,
On the last page of the class materials there is a letter from Nigeria
enticing me to engage in the smuggling of funds out of Nigeria. Attached is
another, now coming by email.
This scam has been around for years, and essentially what happens is US
business people replay, give up their bank account number, and get cleaned
out for whatever it is worth.
This scam has been going on for at least 25 years, and there is a department
of the US Secret Service devoted to combatting it.
I would hope that anyone who took my class was beyond falling for such a
scam, but just to be really, really sure... please know such deals are, as
they say, too good to be true.
