The Un-American Private Sector Pt 3

How a hopeful future for the American private sector may be formed.

The American private sector has neglected its responsibility to keep America as the most dominant nation in the world. Whilst the private sector may have found influence, money, and freedom in accessing markets all over the world, malignant nations like China and Russia welcome the technology and money the private sector brings. The private sector, as a whole, is not at fault. However, its rising leaders, millennials and Gen Z, have driven efforts to divert attention away from the homeland. The opportunity America granted to the young innovators of the private sector is being disregarded. Patriotism is thrown away in favor of rapid global growth within corporations. The American private sector must unite with America's government and people to protect America, in the interests of America's world dominance, democracy's world dominance, and patriotism. Here are three guidelines as to how America's private sector and America’s government can keep America as the world's greatest through patriotism:

1. America's private sector should simply avoid engaging in any activity with nations that are not in line with America's interests.

By engaging with nations deemed unfriendly with America, America's private sector not only damages America, but it also damages itself in the long, if not short, run. One recent example is when America's private sector entered China's markets. Although the crackdown on China came quite late(took place during the Trump Administration), America's private sector should have known better. Like the Soviet Union, China is controlled by a dictator who heads a communist party. Back in the mid-twentieth century, American began to be aware of the ever-growing dangers of communism. Of course, the American government knew even more of how dangerous communism was, which is the reason America waged many proxy wars to prevent and mitigate the spread of communism across the world. However, the American private sector seems to have lost an understanding of the danger communism still poses today. America's private sector was lured into China's markets by the opportunity of mind-blowing monetary gains. After all, no other market on Earth could compete with the sheer size of China's markets. As the Trump presidency began, America's tone towards China began to change nearly 180 degrees. Tariffs were placed to both suppress China and demand fair trade, and constant threats caught China off-guard. With America's private sector already placing major commitment in China, there was too much to lose. Whilst CEOs of major corporations like Apple Inc. tried to negotiate with former President Trump, Trump would barely budge his stance on bringing China to justice. All the corporations that utilized China’s markets lost money, power, and influence as the Trump Administration continued to pressure China with tariffs. Although the crackdown on China came late, China’s interests have been opposed to America’s interests since the beginnings of the Soviet Union, if not earlier. Even now, corporations like Goldman Sachs and Tesla continue to access China’s markets and are slowly facing the consequences. Thus, it is imperative that America’s private sector avoid trespassing America’s interests.

2. America First

Known by many, the above phrase was consistently used by former President Trump to pull the American private sector towards a more American goal. The idea was that the American private sector would allocate the majority of its resources in America. This included creating more jobs and bringing more money for America. Although Trump successfully brought many companies “back to America,” fast-growing and small companies headed by millennials and Gen Z make up the bulk of the American private sector. These millennial/Gen Z headed companies do not promote patriotism or instill the idea of “America first.” What’s worse is that these companies are behind the headlines and hidden away from the eyes of malignant governments in profitable nations(such as the Chinese Communist Party of China). In other words, these companies not only escape consequences that mammoth corporations like Apple or Google may face, but these companies also do not feel the need to express American heritage.

The only way to entice such companies to allocate as much resources into America as possible is to make American markets appear to be a priority. Given the American private sector’s lack of will to cooperate with the government of the United States, the U.S government should, at this point, be desperate in its attempts to cooperate with American corporations. Whether the U.S government should create benefits for American companies accessing American markets or offer aid to boost company performance/growth, the U.S government must act now as the Chinese markets are still seeing American corporations by the masses.

3. Matured American corporations should pave the way for niche companies

If headliners and successful corporations at the forefront of America’s private sector do not slip away from their efforts in gaining profits in the Chinese markets, how will smaller and newer companies follow the effort to bring back American jobs, fortune, and pride? If Tesla, the pride of American cars and the leader in the global EV market, finds the Chinese markets as one of its top priorities, then why would other American EV makers believe that there is more profit in America than China? Without patriotic companies leading the American private sector, American corporations will drift further and further away from the ideals of “America first.” Sadly, at this age, government intervention is needed more than ever. The U.S government must prioritize its efforts on leading companies like Tesla and Microsoft. These efforts are to penalize the unpatriotic actions of such companies. The consequences should be dire, enough to cause those companies to rethink decisions. Protests on freedom are foreseeable, but the longer the U.S government waits, the higher the consequences America itself faces.
