Why is it bad for you if US loses trade war then?

2019-07-16 13:22:28 UTC  

the rates have increased

2019-07-16 13:22:31 UTC  

Our two main trade partners are China and US, so we have a lot to gain or lose from the trade war

2019-07-16 13:22:38 UTC  

being "up since the recession" is besides the point

2019-07-16 13:22:55 UTC  

trump reduced taxes and regulations in general and it had an immediate positive impact on jobs and wages

2019-07-16 13:23:19 UTC  

@chuckayy it hasn't though

2019-07-16 13:23:30 UTC  

Jobs and wages have been going up since the end of the recession

2019-07-16 13:23:30 UTC  

it has

2019-07-16 13:23:37 UTC  

you can say the sky is purple too if you want doesnt make it true

2019-07-16 13:23:38 UTC  

look into it

2019-07-16 13:23:44 UTC  

yes theyve been going up

2019-07-16 13:23:47 UTC  

look up the definition of rate

2019-07-16 13:23:49 UTC  

then look up the rates

2019-07-16 13:23:57 UTC  

I dont have trump fever, but I give credit where it is due. If the Dems really wanted to defeat him in 2020 they would focus on his actual flaws instead of crying about his Twitter feed or something he said 15 years ago

2019-07-16 13:24:35 UTC  

Like most people dont care about social issues. They want economic stability

2019-07-16 13:26:48 UTC  

Actually a better plan for the Dems would be to stop focusing on Trump about everything

2019-07-16 13:26:49 UTC  

So I looked it up

2019-07-16 13:27:14 UTC  

I'd say that's fairly steady decrease since 2010

2019-07-16 13:27:47 UTC  

That's a good thing

2019-07-16 13:27:52 UTC  

I know it is

2019-07-16 13:28:10 UTC  

But my point is trump hasn't increased the rate of decrease since Obama was in office

2019-07-16 13:28:18 UTC  

Yes he has

2019-07-16 13:28:18 UTC  

So you can't credit it to Trump

2019-07-16 13:28:24 UTC  

Or Obama

2019-07-16 13:28:26 UTC  

If he didnt do anything it would flatline

2019-07-16 13:28:38 UTC  

Mate the graph is literally there

2019-07-16 13:28:50 UTC  

If he didn't do anything the current trends would continue

2019-07-16 13:28:51 UTC  

Flat line means horizontal

2019-07-16 13:28:55 UTC  

I know

2019-07-16 13:29:09 UTC  

So if Trump did nothing then it wouldn't magically continue to decrease

2019-07-16 13:29:14 UTC  

the rates have increased

2019-07-16 13:29:19 UTC  

It would

2019-07-16 13:29:19 UTC  

not a ton but they have

2019-07-16 13:29:46 UTC  

I mean there's no noticable difference on that graph so I'm skeptical about crediting anything to Trump here

2019-07-16 13:29:56 UTC  

because your x axis is too large

2019-07-16 13:29:57 UTC  

Just as I also wouldn't credit anything to Obama here jsyk

2019-07-16 13:30:08 UTC  

Well the credit is it continued to decrease

2019-07-16 13:30:09 UTC  

if you shorten the timeline the difference would be more pronounced

2019-07-16 13:30:14 UTC  

Meaning he didnt fuck it up

2019-07-16 13:30:23 UTC  

Yeah he didn't fuck it up
