We bought up the rest of the world. That’s why there’s a trade imbalance. They’ve been our bitch for decades.You think we will sell a lot of cars when we are paying artificially higher steel prices? Last steel tariffs we lost jobs.
I think that we will not improve our trade balance until we show the rest of the world that we will not be their bitch anymore.
I live in the Rust Belt. We have not bought up the rest of the world.
THey have fucked US.

Manufacturing is a part of any healthy, large economy.
Our trade "partners" have fucked up our manufacturing sector.
Trade is supposed to be mutually beneficial. If it is not, why do it?
Manufacturing is a part of any healthy, large economy.
Sure, just not in the historic way you're imagining. People are increasingly less needed for production.
It's time to stop being dependent on the local plant for your well being and time for individuals to be flexible and self sufficient.
