Angry ginger Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 trump was failing at it as well. consumers will be the driver and buy on cost so live with it or tax the fuck out of the product to make it viable to be made elsewhere. I'd rather have the mexicans building us the cheap stuff than the chinese. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH i would much rather have anything Japanese built over China or America. the pride in their work is much higher but it's why japanese built is only for the high end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you mention 70s stereo equipment. It was empty planes flying back to Japan that created new England's blue fin tuna industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayward Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Trump screwed the pootch that one year, forget which one, when he lifted the tarrif on a bunch of chinese made shit a month or two before Christmas. Was it cell phones, video games, can't remember. Whatever it was, he pussed out. As did the fucktards who demanded the crap come in here so they could buy it as well. It's never gonna change, not with our society the way it is. The angry ginger is right people want the cheapest shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosting Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 All the offshoring did was increase profit margins while maintaining the made here pricing. The only winners here are the owners/stock holders raking in the windfall profits. Workers lose a job, citys lose tax base, in the end offshoring is an economic loser for the host country. And in hindsight since about 1995 to present the proof is quite easy to see across the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The only party that is even remotely trying to work against this is the R party, and even many of those don't care. Trump was the closest we had in a long time to stop these trade deficit, but RINO's, democrats, and other emotion libtwats didn't like his demeanor. Oh the horror. Bunch of fucking no brain dipshits.

The establishment R's are no different than the Dems. The new blood is who's driving the dissent along with the Patriots, yet the fools are cheering the establishment. Your reward for obedience will be you will own nothing and be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the perfect statement. If you watch any WW2 documentaries, you will see that the very circumstances that helped the US win that war are slowly being forgotten or purposely being removed.

That's the funny part. The same people who have been in charge of now crashing this system (plandemic) are now gonna re-game the entire system for the benefit of the sheep. I'm not buying that, but good for the fools who are putting them on a pedestal while they shift more wealth from them. Stamp the letter "L" on their foreheads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
