  • It’s not impossible though. It’s like every country opened their eyes and said fuck it because Trump makes no exception in hating everyone.

    I only know the USA from movies and TV, and the USA always got a free pass because they ruled the world, they are number 1, they have the best quality of life, and a lot of other lies that we kept telling ourselves because they were the good big brother that was, until recently, relatively “smart.”

    But Trump pissed every country on earth at the same time, and it’s like we realized we were wrong since the 80s about everything that happened in and out of the USA.

    It’s good for me because we will be more self reliant without this erratic big brother. It’s very bad because Russia won’t be affected, Americans will be poorer, and China seems now to be the most “reliable” super power that can still make and sell everything. But countries getting back some of their Independence is always a nice thing. Millions will suffer though.



  • Random Google search:

    • the main imports were consumer goods (27 percent), etc. (so, pretty big actually)
    • In 2017, imports accounted for 19% of the country’s petroleum demand (big too)

    getting those industries back to being made locally shouldn’t take more than say, 5 years

    You missed a 0 here, I certainly don’t expect any country to create millions of jobs in 5 years.

    US just imports these things because they’re cheaper to make that way

    People buy because it’s cheaper. And we import because we can’t make them. But even if we could (which we can’t), their prices would triple while you wait for people to be trained and factories to be built.

    it would likely be very good for US working class

    Doubling or tripling the prices will be very bad for all the classes except millionaires.

    One last quote: “Donald Trump’s Atlantic City casinos have undergone four bankruptcies.” He has no strategy, he’s officially a fucking idiot. Even I without any knowledge wouldn’t be able to fuck up a casino that bad.
