Keeping it tense between them and China is so good, alone theyll never make it. Watching Putin the panty poisoner and Xi Pooh bear give each other crusty blowjobs and get nothing from it is top 👌
If Europe and the US refused to trade with anyone who trades with Russia, China would embargo Russia in about half a second.
China knows we can’t stop importing all the garbage they send us. They have the markets cornered in so many items and materials that we really can’t embargo them.
We could, but we prefer comfort, so we don't. That seems to sum up where society is today.
Climate change? People who leave their car running while shopping so it stays cool don’t care about genocide or war as long as it’s far away. And honestly, I can’t entirely blame them—I probably grew up ignorant about some issues too.
We can’t afford to furnish our houses without china. And our US big businesses know it. It’s how they were able to keep wages so stagnant for so long, they were leaning on cheap Chinese TVs and plastics.
Yes we prefer checks notes having batteries
It's kinda interesting when you think about it. If the US politics had actually been pro worker/union for the past 60 years, we would've had protections and increased production/economical stability in the country by just giving it's own citizens power. Instead they've given china the power of production and influence while creating a hostile environment for competition and success state side.
I dance between some people being so ignorant they have no clue what they're doing and some are just hired CEO politicians selling the country off as much as they can squeeze before it goes under and they scurry away with their nest eggs.
We didn’t do it, CEOs and investors did it.
First they wanted more profit that cheaper labor provided, then they realized if we were all distracted by $200 TVs and cheap plastic based couches and clothes, we’d complain less about our stagnant wages at home.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say, insert "they're the same thing" image. Politicians become CEO's, vice versa. Partners are investors, etc etc. Nancy Pelosi's husband (Paul Francis Pelosi is an American businessman who owns and operates Financial Leasing Services, Inc., a San Francisco–based real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm), Hilary Clinton's time at walmart..
this was in 1990 when her husband was governor.
Nah I thought Temu level consuming. The single use vapes. The trash machine.
Yeah, it was recently revealed how much fucking absolute junk Finnish people order from Temu and other chinese horror story online stores. And then some of those people were interviewed and their attitude was "fuck you, I saved 20%".
At least in the US, tons of IKEA (your scandi neighbor) is made in china too.
They have a near monopoly on basic things like screw production too.
What would India do?
What's good for it.
