Trump enacts tariffs, Dow plummets on currency.
World's Biggest Banks Sink to Record Lows as China Pain Spreads
Trump administration designates China as currency manipulator
Protest, then democracy.
Then now, full protest war.
Urban warfare in Tsuen Wan right now. Tear gas, rubber bullets, petrol bombs, bricks and more.
I have a CNN article coming.
So far, Trump has been playing economic softball. The tarrifs that were supposed to kick in next month have been pushed to December, for example. But there's lots more Trump can do to make China howl, if they pull another Tiennamen Square.
It'll hurt us too, perhaps for a while. But in the end, it's the right thing to do—China has been running roughshod over us and the rest of the world for too long, and it's about time they were brought to heel. Not through war, but through soft power.
Well, it is smart in a way, since china is under communism.
People has been in shit for years.
And this can be a good thing to let the people finally stand up, but it's also enacted to a double standard soon.
Power with the pen, is mightier than the sword.
Hong Kong is the tipping point. We probably should've known this long beforehand.
Well, primarily everything should be predictable to happen, just the only question... what will happen first, is how I see it.
Also...
I fucking knew they would do this, pushing the narrative...

The Amazon rainforest:
-Is the world's largest remaining tropical rainforest
-Is home to at least 10% of global biodiversity
-Produces 20% of the world's oxygen
-Helps regulate the planet's temperature
Without it, climate change could become irreversible

The Amazon rainforest is on fire. Here's what that means for the environment

the article.
Maybe we don't deserve a future CNN
I'd say we have a recognizable gun problem, but mostly just because it comes from a gun culture.
The problem is mental health not gun culture
Yup.
That's why if you go back a few hundred years of American History when it was easier to get guns there were barely any mass shootings
I'm just talking about the overall aggressiveness towards the issue. It's brought up so heavily because of the high culture around guns.
Dayton was antifa, and 2017 linked it from the streets.The Ohio shooter - extreme left wing.
Had a pic from 2017.

Lead up to the event, gotten radicalized over tiwtter.
2019: Attempted to shoot up Dayton.
It's not the gun, it's the agenda behind it.
The only real negative of guns is that if someone sets out to kill people it might be easier for them to kill more people with a gun but even that could be resolved if more people were armed
You mean 1776 was a high culture around guns?
Well Trump finally did it! Worse than a certain WWII Leader~
Well after 1776 it was much easier to get guns because along with the second amendment we didn't have the kind of policing we have today nor did we have proper background checks or anything like that yet if you look at the mass shootings of the period you will see that there were barely any
Guns have got harder to get over the time yet shootings have gone up
That's why it makes sense that the increase in mass shootings is down to mental health and not guns themselves
I don't think mental health means an increase in gun violence, because that means it correlates with an increase of mental health issues, which might be hard to prove. Not to mention the caution one should show when declaring things to be a mental ill. Let's not forget the problems that arose by declaring "the gay" to be a mental illness.
*Mental health.*
If guns and gun culture were the problem why weren't mass shootings a problem a few hundred years ago when it was easier to get guns?
It wasn't exactly a culture then. It was simply the weapon of the times. There was no opposing society around guns purely because of domestic issues which prompted opponents to that.
"They were taking people out of the nightclub."
Literally towards the building.
