Bloomberg and Rich people being my metric

lol

Repeat: economic recessions are expected roughly every 10 years in a functioning capitalist economy

I bet this anfag thinks that unions helped prevent jobs from moving to China lol

And what's your point?

no i don't think that

Does he think the 'trade wars' are hurting the US more than China

American Fucked Up, we should have Erased all of Communism from the Planet the 1st time <:smugon:512048583806025739>

the trade wars are literally hurting america

you know who pays the tariffs right?

😂

Those poor soybean farmers!

I don't understand this economic stance of "anything that depresses our economy in the short term is inherently bad"

Real question, if we cut soy from the U.S., will the Socialist die out? <:slurpgon:583424900732157956>

OBVIOUSLY protectionism depresses the economy in the short term, the entire idea is to outlast the trade opposition in order to force better long-term negotiations

China's lenders are going under, their currency dropped in massive value, their prices for goods are rocketing up lol, check out that totally legit african swine flu culling all their meat

name one time protectionism has worked long term

Just as they can't get pork exports from the US anymore

@unmercyfulmate protectionism is not designed to last long term, is my entire point

Current China wont last another 100 years

The chinese are a resolute people and will not cave. You are an idiot if you think they will

that's because it fails every time it's tried

of course it won't last long term

You are an idiot for not even remotely understanding how dire their banking crisis is

They will definitely fold
