What you missed is, its a traitor dollar, or an anti American dollar. Or a double standard dollar. Good for foreigners and bad for us. Unless you import and sell to your neighbors.
The Dollar is STRONG if you want to spend it on labor for foreign made consumer products. But if you want to spend it on American made goods and services its a piece of crap weaker valueless dollar.
Americans started screwing themselves decades ago. I remember way back in the late 60s and early ’70s a US made TV set was $400. In todays money? $6,000? Everything we bought was expensive, and our one breadwinner salaries were also expensive.
Bringing in cheaper imports, made the salaries cheaper. I’m wondering if everybody is in their 20s out there.
