Most people spend a lot more than is necessary on "luxury" spending
It's just the cost of things would go up.
Maybe not forever.
Some austerity over a short period of time is doable
Just until the trade deals are made and everything is on paper and through the proper channels.
China can't recover the loss of american business though
That's what I was trying to say. Jeez, took me long enough.
Ok, then I misunderstood
My position in the China debate is that we are in a much stronger position because of the trade deficit
And Trump's use of tariffs is a good way of leveraging that advantage
Placing tariffs because they want a better military?
No
Currently because of their unfair trading practices
But technically we should leverage for any important thing we want
This, tho sadly the meat will be pig
other type of meat would rise the price above 10 here
Daily Question 🔖 @everyone
Should the economy be made to serve the people, or the people made to serve the economy?
People
Gay
Bit of both
Measure it out
I don't understand the question
Ok centrist
It should be made to work in tandem with.
The economy isn't a thing by itself, the economy is a bunch of people.
Let the economy serve itself.
The economy should be made to serve the people.
The question doesn't make sense.
@Zayan Watchel is correct
The economy is a collection of scarce resources that people use. People are also inside of the economy, it's a group.
I didn't care for the wording of the question. People can't be made to serve the economy if they are the economy. Ergo, my response.
I interpreted the question as what should the purpose of a economy be in relation to people.
The government is a group of people, is it not? @Zayan Watchel
only in a democracy
Is asking "Should the people serve the government or should the government serve the people?" a stupid question? @Zayan Watchel

Indeed it is, but don't mix that up with the economy. "The people" in the question, are the economy.
No Razor, because the government isn't all people, it's one group within the society.
Everyone is in the economy to some extent, not everyone is in the government.
