That's one American. You've got a lot of work to do if you're going to present them one at a time.

This is supposed to be a thread where others participate by sharing new and individual American success stories.

If you're not interested in sharing one, there are other threads to showcase your obstructionism in.

Just messing with Lanny.

His replies to my threads are the same regardless of topic.

 

[Lanny]

I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening?

Plastics.

barfo

Great line from a great movie.

Then you're not reading them.

I'm just going to use an example which was talked about on this site by alt-right conservatives on this site a few months ago.

Solarworld was 'helped' by tarrifs placed on solar panels which were manufactured in other countries.
However this tarrif raised the price of solar panel installation.
This is the classic robbing from the poor, to give to the poor. While the rich get richer with the republican economics of the 'trickle down effect'.

Tarrifs are fine, but if you're going to place a tarrif on something to help one American industry... Only for that tarrif to hurt another American industry.. Who is really(as alt-right conservatives like to put it) winning?
It's not really fair, balanced, and respectful if you hurt one American industry, by helping another? While letting 1% of the 1% get tax breaks?

Which is really the point I was trying to make.

do you think its ok for Germany to hit US autos with a huge tariff, but we should hit them at all?
China has hit our country/people/employees with huge tariffs on products but we should hit them.
The US automakers are put at a disadvantage in the world market place (Jobs) if we cannot produce and sell abroad because.
Do you think its ok for China to dump product here and put people out of work, because that has happened in the steel industry.
Its kind of like algebra I agree, what you do to one side effects the other.

Geez Louise, are all of your posts long winded?

Lapd

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lapd

Long and particularly dull?

I agree.

 

[MARIS61]

I can't think of a thing I need from China right now.

Nor can any other American, because all China produces is poor quality counterfeits of American products, built by slave labor, spreading massive pollution across the globe, under dangerous conditions Americans voted to outlaw decades ago.

Buying from China quite effectively circumvents our entire country's political and legal process, and in the end amounts to aiding and abetting the enemy.

 

[MARIS61]

China has 49 railway routes to Europe. They have a train that can go from Beijing to the coast at 300 mph. Our fastest train is 150 mph and can only go that fast on 18 miles of it's 150 mile route.

We should be more afraid of China than they are of us.

China is going to launch a train attack against the US?

Sounds more like Europe should be afraid of China.

 

[MARIS61]

...yes and the price of what they sell to us goes up...how does that help you and I?

If they can't sell it cheaper than US companies, they go out of business and US companies bring their manufacturing back home.

But then, you know that already.

 

[MARIS61]

So you claim. But I say they will. They have much more power to put the hurt on their own people than we do. When prices at Walmart go up, there is going to be political hell to pay here. A few million Chinese people could starve to death and Xi would still be in power. Not that any loss of trade with the US would cause that. There are other markets to sell to.

This is a stupid self-destructive fight that will hurt both countries. But only in the US can we vote the moron who started the fight out of office.

barfo

No,

Trading with China on their terms, as we have done since Nixon's reign of criminality, is the definition of cowardly and corrupt leadership, a weakling complying with a bully.

 

[MARIS61]

Do you ever research anything?

https://www.bizjournals.com/portlan...-like-to-work-at-a-nike-contract-factory.html

An article where Nike paid a "professor" to claim only about 1/3 of their factories don't meet "Nike's standards".

Here's the only true info in the article:

Nike declined the Business Journal's request to visit a factory, citing the cost and difficulty of arranging access for journalists.

If you fell for that fake news article, you'll fall for anything.

 

[yankeesince59]

If they can't sell it cheaper than US companies, they go out of business and US companies bring their manufacturing back home.

But then, you know that already.

...yup, it's official...you're completely lost.

...now scurry off and do some more googling to copy and paste....scoot, scoot, run along now.

Didn't trump have stuff made in China?

When you buy China's products, you are supporting slavery.

There's no way around that fact.

Trump administration considers sanctions against Chinese officials over human rights violations: report
By Lukas Mikelionis | Fox News

The Trump administration is considering sanctions against Chinese senior officials and companies in response to Beijing’s detention of one million ethnic Uighurs and other minority Muslims in indoctrination camps.

The White House has been considering sanctions for month now following the reports of internment camps in China, The New York Times reported. The issue became more urgent after U.S. Congress asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to take action.

The economic sanctions over human rights violations in China would be a first for the Trump administration. The U.S. would also seek to restrict American sale of surveillance technology that China uses to track and monitor its Muslim population in northwest China, according to the newspaper.

It remains unclear when the new American sanctions would be announced, as they are likely to undergo government-wide consultations.

President Trump has been bullish towards China and frequently criticized the country for what he sees as unfair trade arrangements, while pressing the regime to also contain North Korea, its closest ally, yet remained largely silent about human rights violations in China.

But diplomats and activists are raising concerns about the treatment of Chinese Muslims following reports of indoctrination camps in the communist country.
Multiple reports claim that at least one million Uighurs and other members of Muslim minority groups in the country's northwest have been detained in indoctrination camps where they are forced to denounce Islam and profess loyalty to the Communist Party. Some detainees who were later released said security officers tortured them on camps.

“The scale of it — it’s massive,” Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio told the Times. “It involves not only intimidating people on political speech, but also a desire to strip people of their identity — ethnic identity, religious identity — on a scale that I’m not sure we’ve seen in the modern era.”

Rubio was part of a group effort with other lawmakers to press the State and Treasury Departments to sanction Chinese companies, such as Hikvision and Dahua Technology, which profit off building the camps or surveilling the Chinese Muslims.

"The scale of it — it’s massive. It involves not only intimidating people on political speech, but also a desire to strip people of their identity — ethnic identity, religious identity — on a scale that I’m not sure we’ve seen in the modern era."

- Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio
Human Rights Watch published on Sunday a shocking report that alleged the abuses were of a “scope and scale not seen in China since the 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution” when tens of millions of people died due to the communists’ actions. The report advised other government to impose sanctions on Chinese officials and other measures, according to the Times.

The abuses began in 2012, when President Xi, who recently became the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, began his anti-religion campaign, with particular focus on Muslims in China, to cement his and the party’s power.

The Chinese government denied the existence of internment camps but assured that it’s working to tackle extremism. The officials described the program as “transformation through education” or “counter-extremism education,” according to the Times.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
