The ICT-business: the symbol of the plastic time.

Plastics are the synonym for disposable products. Plastic crocks or plastic clogs were once megatrends. Crock-shoes were single-used if we compare them with real clogs. And that thing is one example of products that are made of plastic. Crock-shoes would not stand so long as real clogs. But they became one of the megatrends. 

When we think about plastic and ICT business. We are in the middle of the plastic world. This text is written using a plastic computer. The man who writes this text sits on a plastic chair. And that man looks at the plastic clock. That tells when it's time to meet the boss. 

The characteristic of the ICT business is single-use programmers. Replacing programmers or coders in this business is very easy. Those people are learning some new megatrends in this business. 

Then the new megatrend replaces the old one. And the new thing requires new skills. And that means the old worker's skills are old-fashion. So changing the programming environment and programming tools on a laptop is easy. And cloud services that are allowing to deny access to web-based programming tools are even easier than replacing some programs from a laptop is one thing that makes some programmers disposable. 

Fixed-term employment means that programmers that have fresh skills can get the job. But then the skills of those people turn old fashion. So when the deadline of the project closes. The coder team would also finish their working relationships. Fixed-term employment guarantees that this kind of termination of employment is legal. Fixed-term employment just ends. 

The cloud-based programming environment is one of the most powerful tools in programming. But advanced AI-based solutions cause a situation where old-fashion encoding turns useless. The automatized home-page makers allow anyone can make web pages without training. And a new type of code requires new skills. 

So the trend is that ICT workers or coders are learning some programming language in courses or schools. So the company hires those coders would for some projects. And during that project, some new trendy programming languages were. That makes the skills of those people old-fashion. So, it's cheaper to kick those workers out. And hiring new coders is cheaper than offering training for old workers. 

The new workers have no age supplements. And also the possibility that some of those workers can continue with the firm keeping their mouths shut. That method means that worker wants to please their bosses. So the single-use workforce is one of the things that guarantees that there are no strikes. 

The trade war between China and USA is a really interesting thing

The trade war between China and USA is a really interesting thing

The trade war between east and west is not the new thing, and sometimes I wonder, does this thing have connections with the new interest of the armament and build up the People's liberation army. The internet is a very effective tool for delivering information about the things, what the government wants to keep silent. And the power of social media has been seen in many cases. The thing, what makes the situation in China more complicated is that if the car production would end in special economic areas in China, those workplaces would be hoped to return to the USA or Mexico, where they would offer jobs for the US citizens.

And in that area, those products would be better controlled by the U.S government, because of the injection and other control systems and programs in cars and mobile telephones contains code, what is classified as a military secret. This kind of things is really interesting things, which are ever mentioned before.

The strategic situation in the South China Sea has been tightening, and China has created new military bases in Africa, what means that it wants to get the position, what the Soviet Union had in the past. The thing is that China is rising the global power, but there are also other nations, what wants to take the part of global influence and respect. This kind of thing would give money to the governments, and the military power is a good way to turn attention away from the internal problems of the nations.

But when we are thinking about the trade war and its relationship with democracy and another kind of things, we must remember that China is a single-party nation, which means the dictatorship in the eyes of Western leaders,  and the democracy movement in Hong Kong causes internal political problems for western leaders. Another thing, what brings pressure are the new technological advantages, what China has reached.

Those advantages like sending probes to another side of the Moon means that some Western European nations are thinking China as a threat because it can attack those countries by using its long-range ballistic missiles. That kind of things are accelerating the discussions is the keeping high-tech industry in China wise. And this kind of things is combined with the benefit of the citizens of the Western Nations. The problem is that China is taking the workplaces from the workers, who are working in the factories because producing tools in that country is cheap, as I have written at the beginning of this text.

But the problems are the conditions, where workers are making products like cars and mobile telephones. The thing that in those areas, what are getting the biggest benefits, when they are transferring the production to China are areas, what are also interested in military personnel, who needs lightweight, secure communication tools and advanced all-terrain vehicles.

Those systems are really important in modern warfare, but there is one thing, what makes that kind of things very important right now. The strategic benefit is a very strong reason to limit the trade, but when the homeland social problems are connected to that thing, that would turn the things more dramatic and more serious.

And in the car industry and the mobile telephone assembly lines is very much unemployed workers, who would like to move the working places back to the USA from China, and democracy is the good argument when people want to end the transportation of investment of the production to China. This kind of things is making that kind of things more complicated than they would be in the case, where the question is about the gas and oil refineries in the South China Sea.
