and yet everything was completely shut down for years and we are still reeling from that. It gutted us like a fish. The tariffs would have been fine in the 1800’s because America controlled innovation and production. Most of the rest of the world lived in huts and worshipped fish or phased of the moon. Since then we have our tech and know how away. The whole world today knows how to make steel. China can manipulate genes and Russia knows how to drill for oil and drive for Uber. They can easily reason they don’t need us. We benefitted immensely from world trade for decades and decades. We were cheated, yes, but still managed to survive and thrive because we were made of good stock. Today, we’ve been infected by the Aztec empire and from 4th worlders from every hole. Our stock is now “not awesome.” I hate to call it. I’m just ahead of the curve and realistic. Only mass deportations on the scale of millions and millions could have saved us. I had hoped we would have that. We are deporting on average about 600 people a day. That does nothing. That doesn’t even slow down the process. Only draconian resolute pain could have spared us what’s coming. I had hoped. A President realistically only has about two years before the. next President is running for office. You have to move forward like a bull on crack.
Wow! That was unexpected. Your latent TDS got triggered in spades. LOL
