OK we're not allowed to source to Bloomberg, but this one is worth alluding to, just with a few facts:
America and the commie Chinese began "trade talks" today.
That means, America once again gives crap away, with nothing in return.
The "trade talks" (which mean America gives crap away, with nothing in return) are being held in the commie Chinese city of Chengdu; ironically in a hotel with a clothing store named "Amornini".
Which features, according to the article summarized for this thread:
"a bird logo that closely resembles that of the Milan-based Giorgio Armani SpA fashion house. "
Can we start the trade war yet?...
America only.
America first.
Commence the trade war. Stop screwing around.
That was one reason I was hoping Trump would run.....I’m not an isolationist, I agree with limited free trade, but China is raking us over the coals.
What’s wrong with being an isolationist?
Isolationism is the exact opposition to ... “globalism”.
Globalism sucks. No question remaining. Let’s go with isolationism, thank you very much.
America first.
I just don’t believe pure isolationism can work.
Who said anything about “pure”?
I sure didn’t.
I just want us to stop being patsies. We do not have any trade policy.
None. We are absent. We are surrendering. We are not the America, I grew up knowing.
When exactly, did we become trade surrender monkeys?
You can't have free trade with rogue nations; doesn't work out.
I agree with limited free trade, but China is raking us over the coals
You can thank Clinton for all this chinese crap. He gave red communist china most favored nation trade status. Ya know, there was a time we fought communism, now we support it....pisses me off.
I’m not interested in assigning blame.
I’m not interested in getting pissed off.
I’m interested in starting the trade war. Enough is enough.
No argument from me. I’m just sayin’...
In the new world, it will all come down to the resources that the people of each country possess. Globalism is about to fall, and there will be isolations, like it or not. Big socialist governments cannot continue without large manufacturing bases or valuable currencies. The dollar will fall internationally, too. And BTW, don’t believe the propaganda about east Asia completely collapsing. Again, resources, including commodities (oil, metals, trees, etc.), housing, all.
Currencies are only for trading useful things (real wealth) during harmonious times—times that will continue only for countries that are net commodities exporters (oil). Currencies and financial instruments are really nothing, when economies fall apart from the corruption. Think about it, and become more self-sufficient.
Our annual trade deficit with commie China is 272 BILLION DOLLARS.
If we kept that amount of money in the United States, it would pay for 1,000 F-22 fighters every year.
Every year.
If we stopped trading (buying) from the chinese what would Wal-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc, etc,….. sell to us?
I cringe every time I have to go into Wal-Mart and “shop” for something.
I challenge everyone to walk thru the above mentioned stores and check the labels to see where their merchandise is made. You will begin to really grasp where the problem lies.
