Goldilocks re your: “I don’t agree with the if everybody had a nuke they’d be more polite.”
Comment:
I was not implying that. At all. I was trying to say, nobody or no country in their right mind will EVER send an atom bomb to another country. So why keep telling the other countries they can’t have one??
Its all saber rattling bull crap. To maintain fear and need defense spending that will NEVER get used. Just end the entire subject by DARING some country to “go ahead, make my day”. “And we will incinerate your country on a weekend.” The countries are all too intermingled.
Nine Eleven suggested to me the evolution of a new modern way to fight a war. The old way is somewhat redundant. Like a buggy whip. Look at what happened. With only 19 people.

re your “Then we have robots that can do a lot of those jobs ” “The aluminum industry is a clear example of China’s cheating.”
Comment: The robot story to me a lot of hype to shut us up. You need HUGE volume production to make robotics viable. Plus there are way too many millions of jobs that simply can’t be done with robots.
The importation of cheap Aluminum thing to me is also bull crap. Its ok imo and GOOD to import cheap natural recourses metal or oil, and keep ours in the ground for the countries future. The big sin is importing all the cheap consumer product we can make here and sell.
Plastic toys, can openers, coffee mugs, picture frames, pens pencils etc etc etc. Turn junk into money, and stop letting the other countries get away with that. Simple tit jobs that require hands on. Clothing and consumer electronics. Why am I the only one that sees these things? Am I gifted or something??
Why import GARBAGE things and export GOOD stuff?? Its dumb. Food Energy Aircraft? Good stuff. Plastic toys, can openers, coffee mugs, picture frames, pens pencils GARBAGE with a price tag.
