Trump tariffs led to job losses, higher prices for businesses: Fed report

Chipit · 2020-02-18T10:32:40+00:00

Once again, no mention of how the tariffs are completely fucking up China. They are hurting them bad, and that was before the Wuhan virus.

"Chinese factories are hurting these days. Bad. Their sales are way down, especially to the United States. In China’s manufacturing exodus set to continue in 2020, the South China Morning Post made this starkly clear with statistics:

Tariffs saw China’s trade in goods surplus with the US fall by 7.9 per cent in November, according to data released by the US Census Bureau on Tuesday. This was amid a 20.84 per cent fall in Chinese exports to the US from a year earlier, including items like cellphones. US purchases of Chinese goods are now at their lowest point since March 2013.

Of equal importance is that China factory exports are expected to dip even more in 2020:

For every foreign company that left China in 2019, there were two to three more seriously contemplating doing so and we expect more companies to leave China in 2020 than in 2019.

Chinese factories are well aware of these numbers, and they are terrified by them. Chinese factories see American companies reducing their purchases to buy their products elsewhere. “Compared with June 2018, the month before the trade war began, US imports of goods from Vietnam have soared 51.6 per cent, Thailand 19.7 per cent, Malaysia 11.3 per cent, Indonesia 14.6 per cent, Taiwan 30 per cent and Mexico 12.7 per cent.” This massive downturn in American companies manufacturing in China has greatly impacted Chinese factories and greatly influenced how they see things."

The SJW left has taught us that race is always relevant to every story. Especially in politics.

Everything is political. Failure to address the political angle is implicitly endorsing the status quo.

Chipit · 2020-02-17T20:48:13+00:00

This just in, lots of Chinese will do whatever it takes to make money.

Regardless, everything I said was true and you can verify it with your own research.

this is 4 years old.
if you go to reddit.com and not archive.is, you see that the mods deleted it because it was determined fake.
it could have been they determined it was fake because it damaged reddit's interests to be exposed as astroturfers.

China isn't backing the norks. Where do you get your information from? They stopped a number of years ago. They got Burma to change by telling them, "try our way and get fabulously rich." Burma did, and now they're expanding like crazy. The Chinese went to Pyongyang and said the same thing, and the norks outright refused. Kim purged the China-supporting members of the nork government.

Oh look, an arab and his girlfriend.

You're really crap at arguing. Incuriousity is a terrible trait in humans. People always hate which they do not understand.

Chipit · 2020-02-15T22:43:57+00:00

It's always the case that hate comes from ignorance. The most hateful people have no idea what it is that they hate, whether it be immigrants, communism, or in this case religion.

Let me guess, to you “Religion” means ISIS and the Westboro Baptist Church? Even if you add abortion clinic bombers, the Crusades, the Salem Witch Trials, and the Spanish Inquisition, we are still talking about a statistically non-existent proportion of, even just the Christian faith, let alone all “religion.”

Religion is an effective way to help people who don't understand that acting in a way beneficial to the community is also beneficial to themselves.

It gives people a sense of comfort and a reason to keep going in a cruel, uncaring world.

The world is a better place if we all act as if God exists.

See how easy that was? And yet you're completely ignorant? Wow, that's just embarrassing. No wonder you're such a bigot.

Plus there's the whole charity thing, which concretely makes the world a better place. Ever heard of the Sacco and Vanzetti hospital? Yeah, exactly.

And if there were no religion, how would internet atheists like yourself find anyone to look down on?

Chipit · 2020-02-15T22:15:51+00:00

That's not steelmanning, that's strawmanning. Try again. If you really can't think of anything, you're not a good arguer.

If you only know your own side of the argument, you know neither side.

Chipit · 2020-02-15T15:17:40+00:00

ahem the workers don't. The government owns the means of production. In the name of the workers, of course.

It turns out workers are too stupid and deplorable to know anything about running businesses. They have to have smart people to do it for them. You leave workers to organize things on their own and what do you get? Donald Trump!

Chipit · 2020-02-15T10:57:06+00:00

Nah, mostly you just shut down free speech with violence and hit people over the head with bike locks.

Chipit · 2020-02-15T10:55:06+00:00

OK, let's try something from the pyramid of debate. What you're doing now is strawmanning: taking the weakest parts of the opponent's argument and pretending that they are the whole. Instead, try steelmanning, which is stating the strongest parts of the opponent's argument.

Chipit · 2020-02-15T00:38:07+00:00

It's because you've only ever concentrated on the bad parts, and none of the good parts.

Bold words from someone arguing on behalf of "Burn the witch!"

That is literally misrepresenting my position. Do you remember the pyramid of debate?

It worked pretty well in Afghanistan.

19 years and the US government still can't win.

Chipit · 2020-02-14T20:42:50+00:00

Look dude, if your objective is to persuade people to your point of view, you're doing a super-shitty job of it. Nobody is going to read this stuff. Break it down into managable chunks and present ideas one at a time.

Chipit · 2020-02-14T13:25:06+00:00

You have to understand, they're not being inconsistent.

Those standards they state are for us. Not for them! Of course they don't have to adhere to them, that's a stupid idea.

Once you understand this, it all falls together. That's why Bloomberg's racism isn't a problem. It's only wrong when we do it. They themselves can obviously speak the truth without consequences.

Chipit · 2020-02-14T12:52:33+00:00

What about the vast amount of good it does? Did that factor into your calculations, internet atheist?

Chipit · 2020-02-14T12:50:14+00:00

Nobody's going to read 4000 rambling words about a variety of topics. Break things down into digestible pieces. Learn about persuasion techniques, because you suck at it.

Chipit · 2020-02-14T02:48:09+00:00

TL;DR

Seriously, you gotta learn brevity. This is over 4000 words.

Chipit · 2020-02-13T23:49:06+00:00

Bloomberg is 100% corporate establishment. He won't have any problems doing the deep state's bidding and starting the wars that Trump has denied them.

Chipit · 2020-02-13T19:00:18+00:00

You're punching down on black people. That's racist. He's religious, which makes it doubly bigoted. Some gem you are.

Chipit · 2020-02-13T17:21:17+00:00

That has to be the dumbest sub name in the history of sub names. It's dead, too. How is it a default sub?

Chipit · 2020-02-13T12:28:38+00:00

Is it not brave for the little people to punch up? To speak truth to power, right in front of their noses? Going after the big guy, punching up, is an act of nobility. It's his job to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted. What, should he kiss their asses and tell them what they want to hear? How is that brave?

It is ignorant and uneducated of him

Whoa, whoa, whoa...let's keep the racism out of this.

Chipit · 2020-02-13T10:40:15+00:00

He's a Democratic presidential candidate, and this is against Democrat values. In fact, people have been deplatformed and cancelled for much less. Now it's time for him to be held to the same standard that he himself supports.

Chipit · 2020-02-13T10:38:48+00:00

Do you understand how you come across as completely insane? Are you aware that spouting things like this in public will persuade absolutely nobody?

Are you even interested in winning people over? That would explain a lot if you're not.

The moon landing had profound effects beyond walking around. It led to massive, beneficial tech advances in unexpected fields.

We already have enough food for everyone. Our problem is fat people, not starving people.

The torries are far left

Come on man. How can you say things like that with a straight face?

You have got to get better at talking to people. You're not going to win any friends by eliminating Medicare and letting people die on the streets.

Chipit · 2020-02-12T09:04:16+00:00

The point is that they tried to take care of the world before they took care of themselves.

We can't take care of everyone. Take care of those we know, at home. That's the lesson of the socialist collective.

Chipit · 2020-02-12T00:17:44+00:00

Lyndon LaRouche, eh?

So the Jim Jones mass suicide in Guyana was set up by the British SOE, to wreck the US political system and advance terrorism in America, with the goal of installing Edward Kennedy as president in '81.

OK. Well, it obviously didn't work.
