Haynako...

We live in a free market system... heck, we live in a free market world.

Why should our govt (or any govt) protect local businesses/industries if they are unable to adapt and compete with others in their field be it local or foreign.

If ur company cant produce something more efficiently... if ur company cant price its product competitively... if ur company cant simply compete, then it should die.

Dont go around complaining that ur competition is killing u and asking the govt to impose tarriffs on ur competitor's product to save ur ass.

Protectionism... nationalism... that's what causes world wars.

When people become way too nationalistic, resentment towards outsiders (foreigners) builds. That results in hatred.

Survival of the fittest ang buhay sa mundo.

If u cant make it in this world (person or business), dont blame the govt. It isnt the govt's job to help u.

People acquire new skills that make them more money. If u fail to acquire those skills, who do u blame? the govt?

If other companies use high technology to manufacture better quality products faster and they can sell more cheaply that yours, who do u blame? the govt? And u also go ask the govt to harrass ur competitor?

Reality check dude, we dont live in La-La Land where someone will always save ur ass when u fail to make it.

We live in a jungle called the free market. Matira ang matibay,
