Its not random. you mentioned that People attracted to West for easy 9 to 5 work that is low to mid skill level in coding but i counter it that Mexican not taking those jobs. so those countries must be worse than Mexico.
Yeah, Mexicans who pick fruit 18 hours a day didn't come to the US for an easy life; they came for a livable life. To them, 9-5 living is not possible; in Mexico, they probably can't even find a job.
Look at Mexico IT Salaries that are keeping Mexican outside US. Those are not much less than even higher end of rest of the world.
OK, so if they are doing fine in Mexico and staying there, then that also agrees with what I said in that the standard of living is what determines where they go. Higher standard in Mexico, stay in Mexico. Higher in the US, go to the US. Soft power has nothing to do with it.
Mexico is wealthy nation. it manufacturing wages has risen to $7 per hour in Manufacturing for export from Mexico.
Uh, no, your summary is incorrect. The minimum wage in Mexico is $4.90 and hour while those specifically hired for foreign companies can earn an average of $6.57 an hour. That means all those who can't find a job or can't find a job manufacturing for a foreign company have a huge interest in entering the US for higher wages. I didn't say every Mexican wants to enter the US, but those who have an easier life here, and a ton of them qualify for that, do.
"Potential rising labor rates in Mexico could come at a time when inflation is a major concern in the U.S. and world economies, even though the wage for an entry level worker in Mexico is $4.90 per hour, significantly below the $7.25 per hour minimum wage in the U.S. Workers in Mexico’s maquiladora industry typically earn more than minimum wage, the average entry level being $6.57 per hour."
Currency values rise and fall. It has nothing to do with this discussion even if the author used "Mighty" to describe Mexican money.
how you know Japan did not welcome him? Japan has history of French and American auto brands buying stakes in its firms. It has enough brand power to assemble vehicles globally and its high priced BOF vehicles are second to none.
I stated those as the most common reasons people decide where to base a factory on and I said they are all speculative. They might have welcomed him too but maybe Germany offered him better terms. Common business reasons.
Lack of Japan soft Power played a role in it. Musk travel around Mideast and Europe to know enough about German soft power among the elites. You refuse to admit that Elon was influenced by lack of Japan soft power for dissing Japan for Manufacturing when new FABs are created in Japan with Taiwan and US.
You asked me how I know Japan didn't welcom him as if you knew what you were talking about. But actually, your reasoning is that if no one can prove exactly what was behind the decision, you get to say it's soft power. Sorry, debate logic doesn't work like that. You have never showed Japan to lack soft power or Germany to have it and have made no comparison. This is an invented story in your head that you want others to disprove, which is a logical fallacy.
Any country that building FABs can easily make EVs. especially when Japan is ideal location for import of raw materials and components from Asia, Australia and North America.
This says Musk identified demographic weakness in Japan. It means he's not confident in Japan's future, which probably led him to not want to invest there. Hard power reason.
It is quantifiable in ball park. You just need to look at right places.
Funny coming from you posting all irrelevent links. Show me the right place with your ballpark quantities.
all your links are generalization with no substance.
Wayyy more substance than you trying to prove soft power by arguing that quality of life in Mexico/Camaroon/Ethiopia is on par with the US.
what means by quality of education?
Going to NYU instead of Enrique Low Multra Integrated Institute (Girón, Santander)
. Are those international students who succeed in West not comes from good preparations?
Possibly, if they study hard. What kind of stupid question is this?
OK, so some people want to go to Dubai for the good pay too. So what?
They are not Ethiopian airline.
Ethiopian Airlines is not Ethiopian airline???
Look at its flight aircraft mix. Only a developed country or very large GDP can afford it. some thing along the lines of Vietnam.
Vietnam is a developed country with a very large GDP??? This is another definition failure of yours. Can't debate on this when you can't get the basic facts right.
I have clearly provide data that there is plenty of wealth outside US.
You didn't need to; you could have just said it. That's true and doesn't mean anything.
US families hardly can afford collage tuition outside state without some aid while 90% of International students are from Global South. This is hard data you cannot deny that.
Why would I deny that? It's a random fact that would completely fail if the intent were to prove that the US is poorer than the Global South on average.
If Qatar Airways was business it will close down.
It is and it didn't. That's how easy it is to prove you wrong.
certain things are about Geographic limitation and culture that can only be sustain in non business manner. Most Arabs banned Qatar Airline from airspace for several years. Not even US largest airbase can help it. thats why Hard Power has zero value in most situation.
Qatar doesn't have enough hard power. If they banned the US, which has massive hard power, they would be sanctioned into the ground and the US might even make up some reason to invade them. Hard power is the final answer to all problems. If you don't have it, you will need to resort to briding and begging like Qatar.
its only its Soft Power that saved its ranking. Even if its not related to airline but dress like its airline. this is the understanding of Soft Power to relate everything to Qatar Airways.
LOL What soft power? the soft power of a business paying people and investing in things? Running a good business? You don't have any idea what soft power is, which is why this debate is so stupid. If Qatar goes against the US, watch the US use hard power to kill this airline. Soft power is always useless in hard conflict.
I dont see anything that Germany want to be leader. it is a consensus builder in Europe. Wealthy Germany is in US and Israel interest. You cannot blame US for imposing Euro 7 standards on Germany or set its demographic and migration policies. when it comes to Germany always think outside Europe in addition to Europe.
I don't see anything that (sic) Germany wants to be poor and to have its industry crushed either but you made that shit up, didn't you?
It is called Euro. Germany soft power enough to continue trade with Asia.
It's called confusion over what is soft power, which you demonstrate with every post. Having money to buy things =/= soft power.
did you saw the software wages in the links i posted above?.Canada is ordering more wide body planes. simliar things happening with US airlines now considering Airbus wide body. Boeing wide body orders are full. All you need to look at airline purchases and additional pilot training facilities to see where people flow of the world moving.
Irrelevent. I never said the US is the only place people want to move and software wages are no average wages accross all sectors. People move where the money is. That's the hard power of economics and funding.
not some one of anecdotes of talented people.
English too poor, makes no sense
When hard power is equal than Soft Power tilt the balance.
Soft power and hard power can never be equal because 1. neither are quantifiable (though I'm sure you'll try) and 2. hard power always overcomes soft power. Whatever you build with soft power is 1 hard power ban away from 0.
It applies both to Business and War when you look at long term.
Makes no sense and you've always shown just the opposite.
