It’s also compounded by free trade agreements. Free trade isn’t free when so many countries provide subsidies to their producers- both are anti competitive
I simply favor shaking up the current order. The current stasis of the world. I don't really give a damn what happens to be perfectly honest.
Just as I remarked long in the past that a shrinking population did not portend the end of a civilization nor the end of nation and I now see people beginning to understand this point and beginning to investigate the nuances underlying this statement, I think, too, shaking up current financial and world order will not end disastrously.
I would like to see far less global interaction to be quite frank. "Globalization" has been predicated on one primary pillar: manufacturing is done in nations where the labor is inordinately cheap. Somehow the Technocrats which run the world have placed the onus of responsibility on the citizenry of developed countries to assume a "more fair distribution" of income throughout the world: we're responsible for developing a middle class in China. What utter hogwash!
If a country or nation genuinely creates and manufactures a new product or service, they should benefit. The creativity and ingenuity within that citizenry generates the GDP.
I would like to see the U.S. regenerate a manufacturing capacity. I would like to see more American-made products offered me. Many businesses have continued in America competitively against Chinese manufacturers, but we hear little of them. I'm frankly sick to death of cheap Chinese-produced items which fall apart after 3-4 uses.
