Step 1: do not start a futile trade war and tariff regime conducted by incompetent leadership that was always destined to fail. Btw, Merry Christmas bot!UW_Doog_Bot said:
So when the CCP targets civilian corporations with government and military grade espionage to steal the products of your ingenuity, education, etc. and sabotage their ability to operate what kind of effect do you think that has on our comparative advantage?CirrhosisDawg said:
It’s called COMPARATIVE advantage. You know things like skills, ingenuity, education, efficiency and productivity. On second thought, never mind.89ute said:
So we enlighten China on the concepts of minimum wage, labor unions, OSHA, workers rights, age restrictions? is that where you're going?CirrhosisDawg said:
David Ricardo’s texts on comparative advantage would be a good place for you to start.89ute said:
Enlighten me, I'll listen to what you have to say.CirrhosisDawg said:
Your understanding is exactly what I expected.89ute said:
It would be great to sell goods to billions of people, I assume that's the unlocked potential you speak of. My understanding of what the trade deals are like, and how Xi wants to keep them is - you let us sell a ton of shit (China) and in return, you can sell 1/64th of a ton of shit back to us, okay?CirrhosisDawg said:
It would be just like being a Ute football fan: 50 years of unlocked potential, low achievement and limited success — with the possibility of disaster imminent at any moment.89ute said:
US and A is 1 and 0 in cold wars. So I'd say yes.CirrhosisDawg said:
Great idea. 👍89ute said:I've got no problem going into a cold war with China. Fuck em. Prior to Nixon, they were totally closed off.
CLOSE THE FUCKING GATES TRUMP!
Are cold wars as easy to win as trade wars?
I don't see why this is a bad idea. Relatively, China does not buy shit from us anyway.
So we cut them the fuck off and fire up the garment district in New York and make some fucking clothes again.
Schumpter on creative destruction in markets would be helpful as well.
A normal US would exploit its fundamental strengths to lead the world trading system. In our urgent dystopian trumpian world, the US goal is to destroy free trade in order to save it.
Free trade does not equal balls out free-for-all ... jungle rules.
Other than ignoring it what do you propose to do as an alternative?
Step 2: keep repeating step 1.
If it’s a race to the bottom and appeasement of the least common denominator you are looking for bot, congratulations. You’ve achieved it.
China is diversifying away from dependency on the US and hoarding gold. The US is putting a beatdown on them and running up the score while they are vulnerable. The Central planners can't turn the aircraft carrier of their economy around on a dime though. They're kinda fucked in the short term. Trump pulling in Christmas electronics keeps them on the Yankee's teet for another few months. Revolution brewing in Hong Kong....China is a shit show right now. They lost control of their currency and they are scrambling like Fran Tarkenton.
And, one last point.......
JOOBS.

Yeah...economy the last two years has been horrible for us.CirrhosisDawg said:
The last 2 years of incompetent trade war management has been worse for everyone. Trump’s Merry Christmas tariff plan compromised any legitimacy or argument about continuing on this disastrous path. But at least trump is doing something?UW_Doog_Bot said:
So in other words, you don't have an alternative. Do nothing. Got it. That seems to have worked out great for us the last 20 years. Lmk when you come up with an alternative. I'm all ears...or microphones.CirrhosisDawg said:
