    I was in a flea market for years and I can guarantee you companies like Coach, Doonie Burke, Nike, Disney lost a ton of money due to intellectual theft. You are absolutely wrong about the people couldn't afford to buy the real thing.

    How's that Drumpf-GOP stock market workin' for you guys?

    S&P 500 is DOWN year-to-date ... and bleeding badly again today.

    Your Dow is DOWN even more on both counts.

    At this rate, you poor right-wing Drumpf-lickin' grunts will be slavin' away till ya drop... :tombstone:

    You can bet that Trump, again, doesn't want to talk about the stock market today -- just like since Jan 2018. Of course, if the market had gone up 350 points, it would be a different story, although maybe he has learned to keep his mouth shut, taking credit when the fortunes could reverse any day.

    If we are so utterly at the mercy of china now how much worse will it be later when all our manufacturing is gone?

    We still have a choice but time is running out

    we have manufacture, just not in low-end type, also we design most stuff that manufactured worldwide. there is no point to compete with country such as Vietnam in making socks.
    China is already recognize that, it pour enormous resource into its R&D to increase its tech competitiveness for the future.

    The Chinese BAN almost ALL cars imports, and tax the ones they do allow (including ours) at 25%.


    That is ENDING...thanks to Pres.Trump playing HARDBALL, instead of "OBAMAGROVEL"....

    GM Ford has factory in China, most auto sold in China are made in China, therefore no tariff. China import BMW/Benz so lower auto tariff only benefit those companies.

    Up over 5000 since you predicted economic doom and gloom for me.

    How's your investment portfolio currently looking, my friend?

    Probably has more to do with effects of the CoronaVirus on the Chinese economy.

    Dow drops over 300 points on Fed comments, coronavirus worries

    That's not a perfect indicator for the health of the economy. Anyway, without trumps idiotic trade war things would be better.

    You prefer we continue to get screwed by China and others? We've been in a war for a while, Trump is only fighting back.

    Obama's began at an extreme low point, Trump began at what you Obama fanboys say was a great situation.

    Yes, but Trump was supposed to bring doom and gloom, right?

    I don't recall any "lagging behind Obama's equivalent" predictions.

    Lots of warnings of pending doom and gloom, that's what I remember.
