The business elites are an utter mystery to me. I think we should be swapping over supply chains away from China to much more American manufacturing and trade with the UK and our fellow former colonies as well as Latin American countries and bright spots in Africa to aid in fending off Chinese encroachment. There are far too many things manufactured in China and marked way the heck up by various middlemen who have become our elite. We shouldn’t play that game as consumers.

America has neither the manufacturing to produce so much of what China is streamlines to produce, nor the people willing to work as hard for less.

I think China knew that we would not have won 2 world wars without its massive manufacturing ability, and took it away in the name of free trade.

America has a cost of living problem as well as a lawsuit problem. Our people are every bit as reasonable as anyone else’s but I think we have gotten to the point that we need to plug the leaks in our system.
