Loading ...I don’t agree with the if everybody had a nuke they’d be more polite. We wernt when we invaded Iraq. They also believe in blowing themselves up. On top of that it could leave the possibility of certain groups getting a hold of dirty bombs that could land on our shores or others. How much of that uranium that Hillary sold Russia wound up elsewhere maybe even Korea?
As far as trade it is complicated. Not just NAfTA Clinton also behind, there was China entering the WTO. Part of the rules to that was to allow no barriers to foreign investments which opened up US companies to move there.
Then we have robots that can do a lot of those jobs now anyways so they’re not coming back less we play terminator and get rid of the robots.
People think we’ll other things need to come along. What if they don’t, and if they do will it be more robotics? That’s the way it looks now from self driving cars to automatic machines instead of people to buy or make things. They have a picture of MC Donald’s order machines concerning wanting 15 hr that says meet your replacement. At what point will people except the few who run them not even being needed anymore?
As far as trade there is issues that even the left agrees with.
The aluminum industry is a clear example of China’s cheating. We have observed the cheating first hand through research my firm and I have previously conducted on the sector. Research we conducted in 2015, under the name Dupré Analytics, showed that state-owned banks in China made billions of dollars in loans to shell companies to purchase aluminum from China-based aluminum giant, China Zhongwang. It is highly unlikely that these loans, which were made to entities that were not even remotely creditworthy, occurred without approval from the highest levels of the Chinese government. Late last year, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint against a California company called Perfectus Aluminum, alleging that Perfectus was an affiliate of Zhongwang and leveling a different accusation—that Perfectus had evaded $1.5 billion in U.S. import duties. (Perfectus has denied the DOJ’s allegations, and the case is pending. Perfectus is also suing my firm for claiming its aluminum was fraudulently obtained.)
Last year, a different Chinese alumnimum giant, China Hongqiao Group, was also alleged to be cheating. Hongqiao, which is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, claims to be the world’s largest aluminum producer. Research firm Emerson Analytics released a report alleging Hongqiao was vastly overstating its profits and committing widespread fraud. One of the points Emerson Analytics raised was the company’s reported expenses on electricity, which they claimed were too low to be true. Hongqiao’s major outside electricity supplier is owned by a local government.
