HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Yes, asking nicely would have worked beautifully.

I never thought Trump could get the left to side with the CCP over the US. Well, here we are.

Can't wait to see how well that plays out during hte midterms when teh economy is rolling.

You understand we’re talking about free trade, right? That thing where we buy and sell things with each other? This whole economic nationalism thing is ass-backwards because it’s mostly the people of those nations doing the buying and selling. I don’t *need* an American business to prosper when I buy the things I want.

Yes, because you don't actually care about America. We understand your position clearly.

The manufacturing plants of tomorrow that we need, which will be cheaper to run in America, will have excess capacity to build whatever we want.

In the interim we should be putting as much pressure as possible to destroy the CCP.

It won't be cheaper to run in America, because on the other side of the equation you are a big Teamsters Union guy now demanding $50 hour and no automation because it threatens these union jobs

OH I'm well aware - But there are plenty of other nations that act in good faith (mostly) that you can source but the profit margins won't be what she is used to. Benefits from slave labor.

Also, I never wear suits. Love my life.

We will have by far the best energy infraustructure in the world. And energy will far outpace human capital in terms of materiality of costs in the new manufacturing structure.

So is it a bad business model or are there no willing consumers?

If Mr America First thethe doesn't buy his clothes from American manufactures, then how will this woman survive?

there is a market for goods produced elsewhere but this person would need to accept lower margins since previously they were enhanced relying on slave labor.

The tweet you posted tells her the solution is simple. And that solution is to make it in america.

If she does, her business won't survive.

Sucks for her
