    Walmart started in the south. And likely thrives in the south. The south supports China.

    Want to have some fun? I won't spoil it for you! :angel:

    Google, "how many hours do people in China work per week?" -- and then get set for a big SURPRISE! There's lots to read, so take your time.... :eyepopping:

    People that think China is killing us with cheap labor are mistaken. The days of the Chinese stuffing hair into Barbie dolls are long past.
    They are beating us at our own game now because their system is better at it.

    No, we are more likely to "lose our standing in the world" because we're either too caught up in the victimhood idiocy of some of "our countrymen", or because we've drained our resources to support them, or because we've destroyed our country's work ethic through incessant victimhood bullsh*t and/or enabling laziness and poor choices. Quit trying to put a naive Disney spin on everything. The majority of people living on welfare need a kick in the butt more than they need another handout, and our country's greatness has never and will never come from the welfare handout class.

    If "not electing republicans" is what the Chinese are doing right, then is the corollary of that, "make certain that Americans are electing Democrats"...?! :nana:

    Review Bill Clinton's record on dealings with China before you respond... it might save you considerable embarrassment!

    Truth? Every American administration -- Republican AND Democrat -- since 1992 has been guilty of corrupted, negligent, idiotic malfeasance (intentional and unintentional) regarding China! There's PLENTY of blame to go around!

    No thanks.
    I am not interested in some fun facts from one who tends to make up stuff.
    But lemme guess, they have hours similar to America's in weekly hours and OT.

    Thanks to labor unions of the USA.

    Nonsense, the average American wouldn't make a month in Chiners labor force :) Hell you can't even get most nowadays to go to work if they have a runny poop! Chiners friggin die on the job, keep their traps shut about country and leaders and are akin to worker bee's and ant's..

    Up until state governors wrecked their economies, more small businesses were being opened then ever before. More people were working for themselves. A higher portion of the population was off government assistance. A smaller portion of the population was in poverty. More people were buying homes and investing in the markets then ever before.

    Because your life sucks doesn't mean everyone else's does too.

    I am Not a Trump hater just not a fan. Never said Iliked unfair trade practices that would be foolish of anyone. Trade is a two way road. If our American companies did not want to put up with unfair trade practices the Chinese would not be able to screw us.

    How many folks do you know, personally, on welfare? How many have you talked to about how they got there? Be honest...

    nope, Biden doesn't have a magic wand to erase the damage Trump has done

    we can only hope Biden can reverse the course, but personally, I think we have already passed the point of no return

    it's almost like Republicans want to destroy the USA and Start over, that will suck, but at this point, looks like they are succeeding

    So to summarize your position, we shouldn't try to prevent free trade between ourselves and China because it's natural, like sunshine, and also it's the Republicans fault?

    So the lesson of your parable is that we should give China our best seed corn?

    my bet is on India, they are stealing all the information jobs, and those that control the information, have the power

    You seem to simultaneously want to accept responsibility for what's happened with China and blame it on Reagan, even though he was out of office a decade before we normalized trade with the Chinese.

    Well at least you're half right.

    I agree. Decline is a choice and we allowed stupid policies to destroy us and enhance our enemies.

    If trump had handled the pandemic better, the economic damage and death toll would have been much less.

    It's plain to see.
    Right after Biden wins the election we get a vaccine announcement.
    Shortly after the electoral college vote we get a vaccine.
    And in his first 100 days we will see the numbers coming down.
    It's a real shame we couldn't have had Biden all along. :)
