    You seem ignorant of the basics of trade policy and real downsides of globalist zealotry.

    @ AHZ You have zero idea WTF you are rambling about. You think you know everything therefore are not open to learn anything. Bill Engvall has a sign for you, and I posted a thread about it. You're just being stupid.

    Obviously you cannot address the topic of the thread which is NOT globalism. That's YOUR petty little rant. Be that as it may, it STILL is nothing more than a symptom of the disease but fits directly in line with the narrator's commentary. You can't address the topic so you prefer your ignorant bliss with your kindergarten level solutions and otherwise roll right along being part of the problem.

    The masses have been purposefully dumbed down, IMO, for that very reason and you are a shining example. So caught up in your little pissant shit guarding the grapes you can't see the bureaucracy stealing the rest of the store

If someone had done that in the 50s 60s we likely would still have a steel industry. Talk about reinvesting and R & D to American corps, that were happy to keep paying more and more for less quality and bigger profits.

    No one reason has caused any of this-no one is doing anything other than spitting in the wind like Trump, ginning up his followers into a frothing from the mouth bunch of whiners, with zero clue to how economics work.
    Educating the masses. The narrator speaks to the masses not wanting to be educated. In his opinion, it is one of the biggest reasons driving all others. Add to that it appears to me most people are too afraid anymore to ask questions for fear of being labeled, with current admin stoking the flames of fear as fast as they can pump the bellows.

    what am i wrong about?

    did you figure out how it's smart to send all the jobs away?

    if not, quit wasting my time.

    globalization is not always good for everyone. thats one of those "greater good" arguments.

    it has pros and cons, but there's not talking to you, you can admit no cons.

    You mean I refuse to agree with your stupidity? For once you are correct. You can discuss the topic as presented in the first three posts/videos or STFU. You can do it for yourself or I will do it for you.

    I'm tired of you ruining thread after thread with your same stupid shit.

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.

    Unconditional myopic support of globalist stupidity is a prime example of mass psychosis.

    what do you want to bet all the ukraine hawks will also say changing the trade relationship with china is "impossible", for some stupid bag of dog dick reasons.

    I know you can appreciate the poetic nature of "stupid bag of dog dick reasons".
