Not anymore. Not so much. This is like nafta. You republicans sold me on it. I went with it after you forced it on us. So I work for an international company and half my investments are overseas. I’m now a globalist. NOW you want to change back?Most Libs are and you’re siding with them

Pretty sure we are OK with fair trade. NeedNot anymore. Not so much. This is like nafta. You republicans sold me on it. I went with it after you forced it on us. So I work for an international company and half my investments are overseas. I’m now a globalist. NOW you want to change back?
So now we agree make and buy American only? Good. But I’m going to need to find a new job and call my broker.
Pretty sure we are OK with fair trade. Need
Me to explain it to you?
Let me dumb it down.You may be but are the corporations? The reason we didn't/don't have free trade is because American workers are really expensive. And foreign workers are cheap. So we trade with 3rd world shit holes because they can provide us with cheap shit.
What are they going to buy from us? Can they afford it? So USA Corporations are taking advantage of these trade deals. You may not benefit but do they care?
But I'll give you this one. This is one reason Trump won. Unfair trade deals that don't make any sense for us, the USA, to be doing. Let's see. When the arguments come out you may realize that CORPORATIONS benefit from these trade deals and they out rank you commoners.
Like Trump's last trade war with China. He lost it. Did you notice you won that trade war in 2019? Well you didn't, bag of rocks. LOL
Let me dumb it down.
You make sneakers and I buy 90% from you. As a result you have a predictable customer and can plan accordingly in terms of budgets, R&D, expansion, etc.
I make dress shoes. You need dress shoes.
Instead of buying from me, you buy them from rightwinger, who only buys 2% of sneakers from you.
Do we have a fair trade deal?
My dress shoes and those from rw are identical. Should have added that. My bad.You must like my sneakers. And are your dress shoes as good as his? If they are not, then we do have a fair trade deal. I shouldn't have to buy your shitty shoes because you like my shoes. Go buy my shoes somewhere else.
If his are cheaper and identical, I should continue to buy from him.My dress shoes and those from rw are identical. Should have added that. My bad.
Price is the same.If his are cheaper and identical, I should continue to buy from him.
I'm a great salesperson and I lose customers all the time because of the price. As good as I am, they'd rather save 5%. So maybe the person they buy from now doesn't respond as quick as I do and they don't send tracking after the product has shipped. People tell me all the time, besides the price, they love my quick response and follow up after the sale. They LOVE IT! But they'll fuck me in a heart beat to save 5%.
So in a free market, I may not buy my shoes from you just because you buy from me. Why do you buy from me? Who's my competition? Are you being forced to buy from me? That's no good.
If yours are just as cheap, yes I buy from you. But somethings not right here. Why am I not buying from you now? Must be a reason.
I choose you!Price is the same.
That’s what Trump is telling China. We have a $500bn trade deficit. Buy from us not from France.I choose you!

It’s not about “right/wrong” it’s about one’s POV of what is or isn’t “fair”.Like I said, I'd be a fool to wish I was right about him. Here's praying and hoping you/he is right.
Read and learn somethingWhat in hell are you kids talking about?
Shouldn't you kids be in school?
Uneducated blue collar workers.....What's weird is that we all lost. The rich just COMPLETELY took over. This is like Reaganomics all over again. The middle class don't realize they just voted their demise. Not that we can't reverse it later, but get ready for another 40 years of the widening gap between the rich and poor.
And we will have all the same arguments all over again. You won't want to pay these uneducated blue collar workers more. Like last time, you'll argue to make things cheaper. Which is why you loved buying cheap shit from China during the Bush years. Dollar stores made people forget they don't make as much as they did during the Clinton years. Millions of union jobs gone in the 2000's. It's those people who voted for Trump. And Trump don't like unions. Biden did though. Don't forget that. Unions have been winning big these last 4 years. Trump will put a stop to that. And you'll cheer you dumb son of a bitch. Meanwhile wack a mole with illegals may help the uneducated blue collar but then prices are going up. They want more than illegals make. That's inflation.
Uneducated blue collar workers.....
I stop the rant right there. We need our YOUTH TO BE TRAINED BLUE COLLAR CRAFTSMEN AGAIN.
Your disdain is clear for us. You dont need to be in the Union RIGHT NOW and make over a $100,000 a year. The stolen id illegals are making that RIGHT NOW.
Kids in this country need To MAN THE FUCK UP AND LEARN A TRADE.
We are creating a generation of pussies.

She's got me there. LOLDo not let sealy gas himself up. This dude went to a VERY mid MAC school on a wrestling scholarship. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that, btw, especially if you land yourself a lucrative job. But to brag like he's some top tier educated whatever, no. I'm here on the ground. NO ONE brags about Eastern Michigan University
She's got me there. LOL
