The noose tightens: EU imposes anti dumping tariffs up to 67% on chinese products

[Mac-7]

You avoided the question. IN january 2020, Trump effusively praised the cooperation he was getting from the Chinese government. Praised their transparency and cooperation. Why would he say that if he wasn't getting cooperation from the Chinese?

The problem isn't what he said. Yes, he said stupid shit about Covid like calling it a hoax, saying it would clear up by April, wistfully suggesting people could inject bleach.

But it's also everything he did, from breaking up the Pandemic response team, throwing out the Pandemic Response Plan because Obama came up with it, failing to quarantine Americans returning from China and Europe.

Trump never called the WuFlu a hoax

He did try to talk down the idea that we were all going to die during the darkest early days

As he should have

Why should I? They lock them up because they are terrorists.

Just like we do.

We lock up some poor girl because she wrote an article that our Zionist Overlords didn't like.

In a school newspaper nobody bothers to read.

We really don't get to complain because the Chinese are locking up members of a terrorist group that has conducted bombings within China.

No, they lock them up because they are muslim

and no we don't do that.

I think it goes deeper than just price

Using just one example, following WWII England had a robust auto and motorcycle industry

But the Japanese and Germans out-engineered them, and out-worked them

Now even Rolls Royce is foreign owned

Yes and no, depends on the product. Certainly in construction (I work at n construction) the Germans have engineered a number of crap products.

In a previous job, one part of the business was tools. Facom and Britool were streets ahead of Snap On.

I have never seen Falcom Britool products

In what way are they better?

 

[Captain Caveman]

I have never seen Falcom Britool products

Facom are French and Britool are British. All three brands were put through their paces at a roadshow I went to, falcon and Britool snapped less than Snap On.

I assume all three have a lifetime warrenty

Then the question is how thin is the tool?

The better the steel the thinner the tool

Yes, they all have. No idea to thickness, talking late 90's. Just like for like items, so say, 19mm spanner from each manufacturer. Sykes Pickavant in Lytham-St-Anns UK makes decent stuff.

Is Wera German? The funny thing is with Joker spanners, they're a joke, lol. Got them for my son, electrician, he said they're shite. Wera kinda ok but the quality doesn't feel up to the standard of Facom, Britool, and Snap On

I noticed in the 90's mechanics tended to lean Snap On.

I dont know about europe

But all hand tools in America are measured next to Snap-On

I have more Craftsman tools than Snap-On cause I’m not made of money

But around here Snap-On is the standard

No, he called it the "Democrats New Hoax". In short, he put his own ego in front of the good of the country.

THis is what you deny about Trump. He's a malignant narcissist. It's always about him. Not you. not me. Not the rest of us. just him.

Trump did use the word “hoax”

But he never denied that thr WuFlu was real

That was in the early days when trump banned incoming flights from china and nancy pelosi was holding rally's in chinatown

 

[Man With A Plan]

Um, okay. So what?

they could also buy one of yours and reverse engineer it.

So here's an idea, instead of whining about what China has done, let's look at what they've done right and replicate it.

They've invested in the infrastructure and education to produce a first-class manufacturing environment.

They rip off other people's intellectual property, saving billions in R&D. They've been doing it for decades.

The EU overcomes it hatred toward Pres Donald Trump

This is good news for America and bad news for the CCP

Aww shit, USMB LWNJs are gonna be pissed.

 

[Mac-7]

Aww shit, USMB LWNJs are gonna be pissed.

I think most of them are in shock by now

So Trump was being a racist twat and Nancy was opposing him.

The problem is you guys seem to think that Racism was a cure for Covid. "If we just hate those slanty-eyed bastards enough, that will stop Covid". And some of you guys even went around beating up old Asian people. That'll show them. "Hey, I think that one was a Filipino!" "Close enough!!!"

 

[Mac-7]

The virus originated in china

Banning flights from china was a sensible precaution

Pelosi otoh just wanted to make political hay against trump

She obviously succeeded with you

Wait it’s racist to put a travel ban to help slow the spread of an epidemic? Haha you dembots are weird

Not really. What we needed to do was have people shelter in place. INstead, Trump announced a travel ban against Chinese while letting Americans in China return and bring the virus with them. Then they didn't hold those people in quarantine and allowed them to infect the rest of us.

By the time of the lockdowns, the virus had pretty thoroughly saturated the country.

Standing against racism is making political hay? We had Asians getting the snot beaten out of them by rednecks because of Trump's rhetoric. Or that guy who shot up the two massage parlors in Georgia.

Except it didn't slow it. It made it worse because a bunch of infected Americans absolutely panicked, fled back here before flights stopped flying, and brought the disease with them.

Of course he was going to let Americans come home! He wasn't going to abandoned them in China. What's with the dem party wanting to abandoned Americans? From Afghan to outer space, it's become the new normal that if the Dems are in charge, Americans can expect to be abandoned.

It was impossible to contain the virus by isolation, aka shelter in place

That was just lazy libs avoiding work

The Japanese did exactly that... and they contained the virus just fine.

We had assholes show up at state capitals with guns because they couldn't go to Applebee's.
