We became rich as a whole because we did exactly what China is doing today.
You’ve said a lot of dumb things so thankfully you didn’t break your pattern.
America got rich by being absolutely nothing like China. It was a resource rich land who’s native had neither the guns, the organization, nor the germ resistance to fight us. We came here took there land and built a society on it. We fought wars with the failing powers of their day and only enfranchised groups when we figured we had to, but we slowly did. We controlled the flow of the Spice, I mean oil and have kept an iron grip on that for over a century. We are the largest food exporter the world has ever seen. China is NONE of these things.
Brian you and lots of others on this blog should be ever-so-thankful that Rich is a tolerant man.
I’m not even sure who’s winning the trade war, or if we are really having one yet. It’s better for us to have one now than in 20 years when China will be that much stronger, or have dissolved in a paroxysm of civil war due to all the problems it has that we never had to deal with. China is like a spoiled child feeling it’s strength. It knows no rules and has a hell of a victim/inferiority complex. It also steals everything under the sun. The US can’t compete in a system like that. Better to get it over with now.
