Lol. The 2nd sentence : "But the rest of the world is making up the difference, buying more from China than ever."

Yeah, nothing to see here.

Yup. Instead of working with our allies to isolate China, Trump has made the US an unreliable trading partner.  TACO!

Isolate China?! We were giving our country to them. Where have you been?!
Because FOX News told me so…

No one said there wouldn’t be short term pain as we completely restructured the shitty trade deals we had with foreign countries that were taking advantage of us/running a huge trade surplus to us.


It's been 7 years now....

Try to think past the present and see why huge amounts of wealth flowing out of this country year over year as we rack up more debt to China is an existential disease that needed aggressive treatment.

This is so backwards. China is selling us hard assets, mostly raw materials, at low margin. We are selling them things like GPUs, which while great today, depreciate very fast as soon as the next version comes out, and they are paying dearly for them.

That sums up to a transfer of wealth *to* the US, not the other way around. It's a great deal to trade them dollars for rare earth minerals, steel, etc.. for under market value.

Tell ya what. I'll give you ten bucks for your car. Great deal for you - I will have transfered 10 dollars of wealth to you, running a trade deficit with Custardistan. Seems like you should hop on the offer now.

Buy American. Problem solved. The smart businesses are already doing that or making moves to do so going forward. Crybabies like this are losers who make a good sound bite for the TDS crowd.

Easier said than done. Good luck buying clothes, electronics, baseballs, sneakers that weren’t made in a sweatshop. Even American steel is less and less in abundance.

Things are going great!

Just only pay attention to blowing up boats, who may or may not be drug runners, and ICE dragging people out of daycare and ignore the looming recession! Works for both Trump and Prtizker....

Yes, AI is having an impact but concerns about the economy and slowdown in consumer spending are bigger factors.

An AI fueled mass layoff could lead to more leisure for more people to pursue things like the fine arts, yoga, blue sky research, travel, reading, gardening, cooking ...

We need to dump the out dated work ethic model and come up with an equitable wealth distribution model. National health insurance, a reverse tax guaranteed income, ...

There are not enough hours in the day. But AI gives us hope.
