America was not fine... yeah the easy money pushed up the markets, but we been leaking jobs and IPs to overseas especially China too fast... unemployment was going down, but so was labor participation rate.. Have you though about the possibility that the trade war was necessary? and we are winning, deals have been done and the biggest one with China is coming... yes America will be fine after Trump, because he is/has saved it from the brink of losing world domination.
We don't need, or WANT, "world domination". We need world agreement. That is how the global markets grow on a slow and steady pace upwards. With cooperation, not "I want to control you. " That idealism is best left to porn videos.
goodness I love you naivety.... since the beginning of human race it's always been about control... cooperation is only temporary with the intent of ultimately gaining control.... all the Empires that ever existed, were all about domination. cooperation sounds like a nice globalism idea... problem is the other players don't play this way - I know China well... it only makes sense.... everything human beings do, is about spread our genes while limiting our competitors... name ANYTHING, it ultimately boils down to survival and breeding... and there is certainly no cooperation in all that lol.
I dislike this post, lol! @Baron time for a dislike button! I understand what it has always been about...the desire for control. I am simply saying that we NEED cooperation. Oi!
ok so how does this logic work? you need co-op, others like China won't play this way, they want to dominate you... then what. you can dislike all you want lol, but welcome to the real world lol.
if you follow Chinese social media, one of the most popular themes is 'we have surpassed US in this' or 'we are world number 1 on that', or 'this DF ballistic missile can reach DC in 30 minutes'.. while the stupid fat Americans are still dreaming about cooperation lol.
That is what I am saying!!!! We NEED co-op. The world will grow slow and steady if everyone co-operates, and realizes they are part of a global village. I am not saying that is how it is right now. I am saying that is what we NEED for it to happen. We cannot have slow-and-steady-wins-the-race with every one tripping over their own labia majora to try to be the global dominatrix. Fer cryin' out loud!
