Contrast that with a member here who was having his intellectual property stolen produced in China then putting him out of business..... There is no denying it hurts some and helps others just as the old policy of grabbing ankle on trade did. The bigger question is does the new policy benefit the entire country, especially in the long term.
What's worse than just the tariffs is that most in the supply chain will use them as an excuse to increase margins, and when thing equalize (more in-country production), prices will NOT return to previous lows, at least not in line with supply. Gas is a perfect example; it'll jump in price overnight on a rumor, then slowly drop back down over weeks or months.
That bit in there about national security is big. What happens if we go to war with China, and all of the steel and aluminum we build our war machines with is coming from China? Or for that matter, our tech? Haven't we already caught them sneaking backdoor chips into various network boards?
Basically it means bitch. Alpha's are aggressive men with leadership skills, bravery, strength, and all the other "manly" traits. Betas are the passive/aggressive pussies generally associated with social justice movements and the like.
Caving or playing everyone using the wall as he's done since the first mention of it while campaigning?
He said he would shut the gov down He is now backing off I don’t believe the 635 dimension chess anymore YMMV
MM does indeed V.... Yes he said that. He is negotiating, start off being a total dick about things and back down to just asshole level. Not that difficult to see as it happens. His meeting with Chuck and Nancy was absolutely hilarious - got the press to show the entire thing trying to make him look like bad because he said he shut it all down if they don't agree - but what it really showed was them flipping the fuck out looking crazy. He has me rolling with this stuff. The man is whacko but damn if he isn't playing them all.
There won't be a wall. How did you miss that in the past year or so? I thought everyone already knew. ??
Also read into a bit. Headline White House suggest 'it could' and immediately the media takes that as 'will'. Add in that it is CNBC which is crazy left bias. I would not assume much based upon that. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/18/whi...ack-down-on-5-billion-border-wall-demand.html
Oh, that's what you've heard where you get your news from? Pitty Kinda condescending that you would think I don't know current events. I'm offended- I"m going to my safe safe now! And get a beer ;-) The savings in ONE YEAR we would get over taking in and providing everything for a childbrith by an illegal person is mind boggling. Would building the wall stop ALL of it- course not. A significant portion of it? I'll bet it would. That cost savings right there would pay for it. It's easy to do that math.
What math? I was under the impression that Mexico was to pay for it and when they said "no" the project was called off.
I got it here initially. Hope Mongo is right. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...wall-has-found-other-ways-to-fund-wall-video/
