Buying “Made in China” is killing us

[Superbadbrutha]

By being the first American political leader to say enough and take steps to solve the problem

Kind of hypocritical to talk the talk and not walk the walk.

 

[Mac-7]

Think for a minute....how much better off China would be if they suddenly cut their population in half.
I mean.....it has to be a topic of discussion somewhere inside the CCP machinery.

I think you are onto something

but I doubt if thats even secret CCP policy

 

[Mac-7]

though i have noticed that a number of the Canadian posters are also dual Canadian/Chinese citizens.

I have not heard any of them admit to that

I just assume they are guilt-ridden white lib canadians

but who knows?

If trump had changed US trade policy over the objections of libs like you it would have affected him along with everyone else

Yes, we allowed Japan to grow at our expense

first it was transistor radios, then motorcycles and TV sets. And then automobiles

you’d think we would learn, huh?

but at least the japanese were friends and allies who were not threatening to kill us

But china is a national threat

A Paper Tiger Made out of Scrap Paper

The Japanese have excellent products; the Chinese produce shoddy junk. Their incompetence must effect their military and political power, so they will collapse soon.

Dont bet on it

they are a much more serious threat than the Soviets

and with a stronger dictatorship

I thought the Trump administration took care of the drugs and medical supplies made in China a year and a half ago when we came across the covid supply issuez? Are you saying they didn't?

Buying Chinese is and was a Republican quest, from the very beginning.... It was democrats and labor unions that fought it, all the way....

The GOP blamed the unions for insisting on good pay and benefits for their skills, as to why you opened up China so businesses could leave the USA for cheap labor in China.... Your gop guys benefited by millions of donations from Wal-Mart/Waltons...

Now, after 40 years of it, and all the manufacturers left a couple of decades ago, you want to reverse your republican stance and be against it???

Well, I guess it's better late, than never...maybe.

Because Educated Idiots Are Never Blamed, the Epitaph of the American Economy Will Be "To Get a Good Job, Get a Good Education"

Incompetence is the root cause of economic treason. The MBA Diploma Dumbos smugly think they're too important and knowledgeable to find out how their businesses run. These brown-nosing frauds cannot make a profit paying Americans what we are worth, so they move their businesses to slave-wage sweatshops. Sixty percent of China's exports are from American-owned outsourcers.

No, China is already pretty close to the US on quality of life for it's people.

Canada ranked #1 country in the world for Quality of Life | News

For the fifth year in a row, Canada is ranked the #1 country in the world in 2020 for Quality of Life, according to a global ranking from US News.

Cheaper or inferior products or not, it's America's staple they buy up at walmart.

American corporations flooded to China to take advantage of the most lucrative marketplace.

A 'socially' responsible government would have controlled some of that for the benefit of the American people. But that would have been 'socialist' or 'communist' influence in America's capitalism.

Don't worry, the very wealthy in America are still in control!

"most lucrative marketplace" - code name for slave labor

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Honestly, we have no national will left.
That would require the Grand Canyon sized division to close and the left/right come together.
It would take something 5 times larger than 9/11 to make that happen...and probably not even then

Scrape Away the Rust

When the Red States declare independence and deport all Democrats to the Blue-State UN colony, they will have a nation with a will.

"most lucrative marketplace" - code name for slave labor

Capitalism will always seek out the most lucrative market and marketplace, and will pay the lowest wages it can get away with. That's capitalism!

Capitalist countries such as Canada put the brakes on unfettered capitalism by ensuring 'social' controls that take into account the needs of the country's people.

Call that socialism or even communism!
You would be technically correct!
But call Canada a socialist or communist country and you would be wrong!

If Americans can't grasp that easy concept, then they will just need to be re-educated.

Call America a capitalist country that is verging on fascism and you would be grasping the facts.

Fascism is born out of extremist and failed capitalism.

 

[Donald H]

More shit in your head.

China makes it cheaper through slave labor, no regards for environmental impact and therefore assume no cost that is associated in doing so and by using cheaper-inferior materials.
Half of Americans most certainly don't think the virus is phony, rather it was leaked from China due to their lack of safety protocols that killed millions as a result of it

Yet China's 'quality of life' ranks within 4 places of America's.

"Margaret Got Me So Excited That I Came When I Was JUST IN!"

What would Howdy Trudy be if his Daddy hadn't been Prime Minister? A nobody. The same goes for our hereditary plutocracy. Talent can't be inherited, so power should not be allowed to be inherited. Because our Capitalists are inferior people in superior positions, they can't increase their unearned inherited wealth except by cheating.

 

[Turtlesoup]

The video speaks for itself

my comment is that since the 1990s US politics has been dominated by the Baby Boom generation

and it could very well be the most incompetent generation in American history

Hippies are actually just dummies? Especially as they age?

There is huge strength in China's communist system that is backed by an appreciative people.
China put itself on a winning path when it elevated hundreds of millions of it's people up out of poverty.
While America 'still' chooses to fuk its people over with income inequality that has led to near revolution against government.

If Trudeau would be a nothing, as you suggest, then you would be pointing out the greatest inefficiency is democratic systems.

Other systems create a panel of the country's brightest that go on to choose the 'cream of the crop' as the country's leader. (requiring a rejection of religious superstitious beliefs)

Canada can get by with our democracy because we place social limits on our capitalism.

Simply not true that capitalism always chooses cheapest market.
That is greed, a personality fault of humanity.
Some capitalist will choose that, others do not.
Capitalism is simply someone making a product, and selling that product. He/she may feel strongly about the product being superior. You see this all over the place, but only in small businesses. That is a free market. That is capitalism.
Corporatism is a group of more greedy folks realizing they can own the market by joining together, take advantage of the synergies gained by doing so, and once they dominate - they cheapen the product/lower the service level and raise the price. That is corporatism.
In order for that to work, corporatism needs government collusion/corruption. And we have that in spades here.

Capitalism isn't concerned with anything other than making the highest profit. Greed is good, as Milton Friedman clearly stated.

There can be social modifications to capitalism.

But you can't make a true capitalist into a 'socialist' as you're attempting to do by suggesting a 'social' conscience.

In fact it's illegal for a corporation's board of directors to even consider a 'social' responsibility.

In fact it's illegal for a corporation's board of directors to even consider a 'social' responsibility. They must strictly limit themselves to making the highest profit.

Trump didn't give a damn about what I thought or anyone else for that matter. Your just making excuses as udual.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

imo Trump's major Jina trade mistake was not really addressing how hard it would be for companies to find alternative sites to Jina

But the reality is anyone would go broke trying to move mftring from emerging markets to the US

Trump was the only one addressing the China problem.
You’re another dishonest phony.
Waste of time. Bye.
