Agreed. A lot of the things we use in modern life, that we eat in modern life, cannot be sourced in North America. North America simply does not have the same degree ot breadth of mineral resources as Asia, Africa, or even South America. Many key foodstuffs are grown in climates that are not found in any abundance on the North American continent. And I, for one, am not willing to go back to a 1950s/1890s lifestyle to make people happy who can't cope with the changes in the world. Americans should not be penalized for wanting a high-quality, efficient Toyota over an inefficient, overpriced Ford or GM vehicle, just because Ford and GM don't know how to make and sell vehicles for European and Asian markets or even make good products for the U.S. market. They're surviving on the F-Series and Silverado, as well as Buicks in China. It's on Ford and GM to step up their game and actually make products the world wants, as Toyota does, not for us to pay for their shortfalls through tariffs and subsidies. Isolationism does nobody any good. Just ask North Korea. |
trump is supposed to be the business first president right? but he's sadly not even accomplishing this at all. The MAGA crowd has to be disappointed by now by the way things are going. |
The Ellisons are pretty happy. They're swooping in on the wreckage left by Trump. Larry is going to control US TikTok, though China appears to have successfully kept its stake in TikTok. David owns Paramount and is apparently competing against Netflix for Warner Bros (I hope Netflix wins that battle). Don't know how Megan (who owns game published Annapurna) is doing, but she's gotta be doing well.
