Would you be fine with the same labor force here?

I think it's interesting that people use phones made by forced child labor to post criticism of EV owners over conditions in the cobalt mines.

What is an "unreasonable" import ban? Can you provide an example?

Australia and its ban on US beef imports. They banned US beef in 2003, removed the ban in 2019 but put a requirement for an import permit in place but as of yet have not even reviewed one application for approval.

Kinda shocked your down for slave labor and child labor exploitation.. But I guess whatever keeps things cheap... Maybe you and swampy have more in common then you realize

With social media there is no flocking way any company could get away with either these days.

What's unreasonable about this ban? They don't want US beef and have no real need for it. Australia produces lots of beef and exports a bunch. Why is it unreasonable for them to refuse this particular import?

That is not free trade. But you’re right, we should ban all Australian lamb imports instead of placing tariffs.

But I like lamb.

Interesting?

It's hilarious.

Firstly, this makes so much sense in regards to your typos.

Secondly, Lenovo is Chinese owned.

Several big companies use that labor.. And it's ignored... We have a list of countries and products that are supposed to but her imported for for those reasons but it ignored

Chinese Lawn companies probably force little kids to trim bamboo.

I didn't realize they bought Motorola...
Tariffs are meant to even the playing field between countries import and exports. I have never wanted the US to interfere in other countries affairs, just make sure that we are not getting taken advantage of.. we are not the world police, but if we are gonna be the bastion for the free world we claim to be then we need to rethink the way we view the rest of the world...I'm all for semi isolation and free trade..0-0...no restrictions

Enticing for those countries around China to get away from their control.

How would that work?

But then you were needed on the farm?

Living on a farm is usually much better than living in some soulless suburban wasteland.

I grew up on a farm in Powell, TN. Sure do miss that old place.

Interesting that the Chinese turned an atoll into an island in international waters within spitting distance of the Philippines and built a runway there. And no one said a word. If the rest of the world doesn't shun the Chinese with this opportunity, they will never be able to do so.

That was another of Obama's major foreign policy missteps.

It's nice country there. Getting pretty crowded though.

What just happened? Major movement in the market

Nobody else said anything either, so our so-called allies are just as guilty

Vietnam and the Philippines complained. I believe Malaysia stayed pretty quiet. I don't remember Australia making noise and they certainly should have. Or maybe they did and it wasn't in the Singapore news. Obama effectively said 'help yourself'.

I expected nothing less from the empty suit he was/is.

When I was a kid there was only a flea market, chevron, Hardee's and a waffle house off of exit 112. It is more crowded than the Merchant's exit now.
