China is working US like a limp rag. Notice things got more interesting when POTUS woke up and realized we don't have any real access to needed minerals for AI, tech, etc EXCEPT CHINA?   He just distracts us when he fails to launch. 

China’s economy is failing. The only failure so far is Putin. There has to be a way for him to save face to stop. He’s lost too many people for little gain.

You’re in the twilight zone. There’s no reason to converse. Atlas is close. I mean even some of Trumps enemies are saying the man has it going on. The rest are hoping for a scandal. So ate up with hate they bleed blood for anything. So how about going back to Tariffs and facts. So dispute the car sales, 3 percent GDP or Job employment. Don’t give me some made up pole by a slanted organization that even if true. Next week will change. 

 

Nobody is hoping for a scandal except the people that Fox news makes up as your supposed enemies. You just don't get it. Some of us WILL NOT tolerate the lies, deception and poor character coming from that man, PERIOD. We were not raised that way and we make no excuses or exceptions, certainly not for the crap leadership we've seen so far.

 

Now let's get back to tariffs and address your "3 percent GDP". The problem is your superficial understanding and consumption of fake news and your laziness. Did you do any analysis to see why GDP was reported as a 3% increase? Did you? Be honest.

 

If you did, you'd see that companies scrambled to load up on inventory during these slackwaters between tariff threats. Retailers have to prepare for the Christmas shopping season as early as late Spring, so they've been buying everything they can before they expect tariffs to go up. And of course that has an effect on a monthly or quarterly increase in GDP. Car buying? Same thing. People rushing in before tariffs get bad, or before certain automakers just stop offering certain models here because adding 15% on to the cost of a car isn't going to sell them.

 

Did you look at inflation data? It's public information. But you didn't. If you did, you'd see that inflation was back up in June to 2.7%, driven by the cost of imported goods and FOOD including beef. Because tariffs are making things even harder for US farmers, harder for the beef industry, and imported beef (the majority of what you consume) has gone up because of tariffs.

 

But you didn't do that because you're lazy and all you do is regurgitate what your propaganda sources tell you. The very definition of brainwashing.

The tariff ( tax on consumers) debacle are poop stirring. Period. Nothing helpful is being done. A clown car of idiocy. Pumped by Stan and his misdirected F Troop TV Interwebs “warriors”. 

Facts have no effect and he’s always looking around the room like @Grumpy Bear for approval. Stroke stroke. There ya go Stan. 

Somehow I missed this one. Hateful you are when you don’t have facts. I guess grumpy lives in your head too. If been in every state and out of the country training people to run our equipment. If that really makes a difference. I’d made my way. I don’t need your approval that’s for sure. I’ll stop now before this gets locked. I believe that’s your goal.

Another hateful person. Time will prove you wrong. I’m not going to waste my fingers. My daily reading and watching has little to do with Fox News. I’m not at a computer. I do multiple things at once. I like staying informed. I didnt get where I’m at by being wrong. Just informed.

So you're too lazy to look at actual data, got it. No response to any of the facts I laid out, just a tantrum and trying to boast about supposedly "where you're at". LOL

Sounds pretty gay to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

But you should read your own book you claim. We know you're "Christian" because like vegans and crossfitters, you have to tell everyone about it. The book says don't f*** poor people (like...with tariffs and making basic things cost more) and don't jail/torture the immigrants, don't diddle the children. Pretty simple to avoid, but,

When I first found this website in 2014 it was filled with many decent people who only wanted to share their experiences. It seems now it has been taken over by some people who have miserable lives. They want to disagree and call people names. They can’t see the forest for the trees. I’m not getting good vibes from here anymore. I post good news they post misery. Misery loves company and it doesn’t need mine. I didn’t get run off, I don’t like the company. My life is just to good to be around such miserable people. Have fun in your misery. Im happily checking out. GFY.
