It certainly directly applies to you. Can you see consequences beyond next week?
Do you favor a $15 or $20 minimum wage? for fast food chains or other business? If not, why? I really don’t know what your answer might be. But I suspect you’d say no. I suspect you’d say, it’s not the government’s job to choose the hourly cost of labor. Possibly, if you think it through, you’ll see how economic nationalism is as bogus as liberal voodoo economics for hourly wages. Government proscriptions on wages and such have nothing to do with supply or demand. It has nothing to do with markets. And economic nationalism to push back against globalis is a propaganda tool for empowering the state, bureaucrats and lobbyists.
I agree. Trump is right on the money when it comes to the economy. He wants to cut red tape and cut taxes. I think cutting red tape and thereby increasing productivity would do much more for the economy and job creation than tax cuts. Although I’d like a helping of both, please :)
What a maroon
Tariffs are to us industry as immigration enforcement and
Deportation are to us citizens
Fortifying and necessary
Look at the tariffs other countries place on our
stuff like us cars in the ungrateful South Korea
that should by rights like other nations we
liberated be a freaking wholly owned subsidiary
subsidiary
Why of course I don’t favor a minimum wage like that, or even wish there could be one at all.
I do favor whatever measures are intended to stop the burn of the country’s static treasure.
America tolerated that while it envisioned a pax Americana. It would expend its own treasure in order to keep the world peaceful, especially when it had militant military rivals.
This is an obsolete model now.
Certainly we get more red tape than 3M could manufacture... to mix a metaphor. And people have to be PAID for that red tape.
your anti business drivel will take us down that path
What a reality-inverting lie you utter.
“Static treasure?” Auto correct or did you mean something else.
Let marketing be free INSIDE, INSIDE, INSIDE the USA.
The tantrum kiddies can not play outside the playpen. Sorry!
But when you export your static treasure (each dollar is a share in that static treasure) for things you are going to be throwing away, you get just what you deserve.
Static treasure. The resources which cannot renew (by the way, there is excellent reason to believe that petroleum undergoes abiogenesis, but I digress)
Oh, like the inelastic supply of oil. Do you want government to prop oil prices to save jobs in the USA?
Except when oil IS elastic, of course. So throw away that irrelevancy.
However one thing that is not elastic is real estate. We’re shipping enough money to China for it to buy California, so to speak. Maybe it SHOULD buy California. It would then impose its nationalistic rules on California, which would do better.
But remember again, being such a libre hombre means you are also libre to commit harakiri. You can! But don’t expect kudos when you do.
“... But then you can’t complain about the environment ...”

You are right.
Our environment (and labor, safety, etc.) will be great as long as
everything on the store shelves is made in India, China, Mexico, etc.
...and our petroleum comes from Canada, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia, etc.

My point was that nothing is free, everything has a cost...
but I guess it went over your head.
Someone should outsource James Pethokoukis’s job. Outsourcing is the hollowing out of the American economy for larger corporate profits.
It’ll be an awesome museum piece, as it overgrows with wilderness. Congratulations to the American Indians: you won. The White Devil committed suicide.
Larger corporate profits, for which a bloated government gets vigorish in. Ain’t that wonderful. Till it Venezuelas itself.
Nonsense and bafflegab! Do the employees contribute anything to Indiana’s tax revenue? Do the unemployed?
