Yea. I lived in Hong Kong and ran an office for a large company that sourced product around the world. It’s a common job.

My word, you gotta be hatin' this, eh?

Hong Kong is not a happy place under communist rule

Libs picked the wrong side to support in the tariff war

I added a chart to the post. I don't know if it is true, but meh, seems convincing.


We have a lot of conservatives on this site who are hating this all as much as citygator. Toro and Taz come to mind.

It really depends on where you are in the labor force and economy. It doesn't have a lot to do with "libs," or "conservatives."

Yes, there are fat cat conservatives who are not harmed directly by offshoring

And blue collar democrats who are hurt by offshoring and the migrant invasion

But if they vote democrat they are cutting their own throat

Our ability to bully China is more limited than he thinks.

Especially since Europe is keen to build stronger relations with China, given how Trump is stabbing them in the back.

here's the thing. China can withstand the pain. The Chinese people are far tougher than Americans are in the face of hardship.

A couple of months of recession caused by Trump's policies, even Republicans will be looking for an excuse to dump him.

Guy, Trump is one of those fat cats.

He's playing you for a fool.

Tariffs are just shifting the tax burden away from his rich buddies and onto you.

Nope....
Been there done that.

The Republicans as a whole are firmly entrenched in Supporting Trump. We have been having a recession caused by Biden and the warped numbers coming out of DC.

But in the meantime....
Trump is trying to completely remake our tax structure and our economy....we'll see if it's successful. But the Republicans as a whole understand economics better than most Democrats. So this current pain is nothing in comparison to the future pleasure. They are loyal. Especially considering that things are going better than I thought they were going to go. The market (S&P) hasn't dumped to 4700 yet....it got close once but....those players are bipolar.

They'll be looking for excuses, alright.
And a someone or something to ELSE to blame besides Trump.

I don't think that they really are.


There are Republicans like yourself who are the hard core bleach drinkers.

And then there are Republicans who went along because they just don't like Democrats.

At some point, they will look at the shit show and say, "We'd probably be better off with Vance."

I'm not seeing how shifting the tax burden from the rich to the consumer is going to have a good effect. We've been doing that since Ronnie Ray-gun, and it's only contributed to the decline.

Six trillion in wealth has vanished since Trump got back in.

This is from the WALL STREET JOURNAL... not exactly a bleeding heart publication.

Not a die hard republican or Democrat. (I'm A-Political.....said it a huge number of times....I'm not a believer in Democracy. I only believe in Monarchies)
I'm just here for the popcorn.

Unfortunately the popcorn is getting stale and rancid. Especially because people like you who do not have any rational thought or well reasoned replies that make coherent sense. AI bots have more logic than you have demonstrated here.

So you are just a troll.

No wonder you like Trump.

America trolled herself.

 

[Hollie]

America lost already.

You certainly did. Don’t feel a need to include others in your self-loathing politico-religious ideology.

Ask your programmer for something relevant to add, silly Chatbot.

We lost $8 Trillion in wealth since Trump started. You can lather yourself up in insults, but at the end of the day you and me are losers. We elected Trump and lost $8 Trillion in wealth.

You are certainly a loser, self-admitted.

I just watched one of these AI bots absolutely flub spectacularly. They seem to have severe issues with understanding humor and irony. Plus they seem to trip over metaphors and peotry often.

The programmers have some work to do yet.

My investments are down abou 6% due to Trump this year. I am indeed a loser being led by a man that is causing us all to lose. Sounds like you have basically a pile of dirt you own so you have nothing to fear from a shit economy. How are you finding the SS payments I am funding? You able to get by?
