Donald Trump is waging a trade war that hurts a lot of American workers. Maybe he would understand that if our heavy-handed documentaries about the global trading system were more informative.

@Taine de Jong You can't trade exclusively with Germany because Germany is part of the EU and waived their rights to set their own trade policies to the EU, along with 26 other countries in the EU. As a result, if you want to trade with any of those 27 countries, you need to talk to the EU, not them, themselves.

By Trump's logic, I have a massive, massive trade deficit with Safeway. I buy all manner of goods from them, but they have purchased NOTHING AT ALL FROM ME FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW!!! To fix this, I will now tax myself every time I buy something there. That'll show them who's boss!

@EcoMouseChannel 5 лет назад

But Safeway was never in a position to buy anything from you, unless you are a food producer or distributor. You are just the end user. China, can and does buy US made goods. Just not nearly as much as we buy from them. Plus, they do also cheat and steal ideas and don't honor patent laws or intellectual property. Case in point, you can see right now for your very eyes: www.kickstarter.com/projects/908228738/finalstraw-the-worlds-first-collapsible-reusable-s The Final Straw was a concept by this American based start-up. They ran a successful campaign, and have an innovative product. A foldable metal straw. Well, no sooner than a week after their campaign closed, were copycat products for sale on Amazon, straight out of China. Copied even their marketing photos, slogans, and even the case design. And they are already shipping months ahead of the American company. And to top it off, there's even knock-off companies warning about other knock-offs of the same product. www.amazon.com/Stainless-Keychain-Collapsible-Reusable-Beststraw/dp/B07DJ66PB1 Trump may not know the nuances of global trade and economics... but he is right about one thing... the sleeping giant is slowly taking over nearly every industry. And they did it not through innovation and hard work, or allowing their populous to be free and democratic, or having a thriving economy that was born out of the free market making the decisions. But through nefarious means, lying, stealing and cheating... all while ignoring the plight of their people and continuing to use it's populous as dutiful work slaves, building the empire of China.

Eco Mouse, that FinalStraw story is just a great example of a poorly thought-out marketing plan. I mean, did they even have a patent? Such a simple concept was doomed to get copied!

In fairness, Sheen also played a _bad_ president, "Greg Stillson", in 1983's "The Dead Zone." Stillson is a sociopath who climbs politically using blackmail and, in the main character's psychic vision of the future, is elected president and starts World War III. The main character decides to assassinate Stillson to prevent this, but Stillson grabs a baby to use as a human shield and, though he survives, is politically destroyed in the process. Actors, man.... work is work.

Ugh, his "writers" are just comedians, one of his main writers came from college humor for example. It's disgusting that people take this show seriously. It's a comedy show masquerading as a knowledgeable current events program. They take a subject an average person is uneducated about and reaffirm their preconceived thoughts on the subject, instead of dedicating the countless hours it takes to completely understand a topic enough to come close enough to the truth. This piece sounds correct to you because you have no knowledge about China or trade, neither do his writers. They often take 15 second soundbites and take it out of context to create a narrative you already agree with. This show has done immense damage because it has given average people a sense of truth, when their show is merely a projection of truth based on the sheltered and uninformed perspective of people who tell jokes for a living.

Faldegast That is the most bullshit comment I have read in the entire comment section of this video.

@Sven-kj2uh 5 лет назад

Faldegast How do you expect these US made products to be affordable, the resources would go up in price and tariffs by other countries would give American products no chance on the global market. It is basically a tax on your own people. Its Ironic how China shipping food to the US is a big problem while subsidized American farmers happily do the same to Central and South America. The US consumes more than it produces, thats why you have a trade deficit.

@Sven-kj2uh 5 лет назад

My point is That even though tariffs would decrease imports in the US, it would also decrease exports from the US. The tactic that the current administration is trying would only work if other countries wouldn't retaliate. Even worse is the fact that these countries will have to fight the US only in this trade war, while the US will have to fight a lot of big economical powers. Wich means they have a way better chance of finding a different market while the US would suffer the most. Also the difference in tariffs is not as big as portrayed by the Trump administration. There are numerous products where the tariffs in the US are actually higher. On average the EU's tariffs are not that far from the US, and Canada's average is lower than the US so i get see why Trump calls the EU "worse than China on trade" and why he is mentioning Canada at all. Dont get me wrong, i think China is a problem. But this is not the way to solve it.

I have an economics degree, and at no point during your many posts have you shown anything close to a knowledge of economics. Maybe someone who has watched some youtube videos and read a subreddit, but nothing even remotely resembling a substantiated economic discussion has been written here by you. I'm not sure how to even start assessing your point since it all just sounds like a rant by your weird uncle at Thanksgiving. Trade economics is extremely complex, and you are grossly oversimplifying cause and effect in your wild meanderings. If you want this confirmed for you, considering the breadth and complexity of what you are talking about here, I would recommend you read the complete syllabus of a 4-year economics degree, followed by a post-grad lit review of international economics, at which point I would consider you qualified and to have redeemed yourself enough to have an opinion on the matter. I award you 0 points and may God have mercy on your soul.

“Fun” fact about Peter Navarro, he was my professor at UC Irvine, where he ‘teaches’ an online class based on his RU-vid series of videos that is supposed to be about economics and trade with China. I had no clue about who he was or any of his books going in, I only knew it was a course that satisfied my management minor. But instead he made us memorize the amount of Chinese aircraft carries, the amount of potential mines in the water between China and Taiwan, how China might launch missiles at the US etc. There was NOTHING about trade policies at all, and yes he made us write an essay that basically had his zero sum game in mind, and discuss how American Fortune 500 companies with setups in China would be forced to move back to the US at some point. My essay basically proved him wrong, and I got a passing grade, and no comments. We also had weekly ‘blog posts’ where we would have to write about something that related to the class, which meant a lot of people got poor marks when they cited the benefits of US-China trade. That’s mostly because a lot of the students in the class were Chinese international students who were also confused by the objective of the course, and didn’t understand how completely tone deaf he seemed to be. Anything that went against him he COMPLETELY ignored and pretended wasn’t handed in. My friend even ended up failing the course despite doing more than enough work and handing in all their work on time, purely because they criticized the contents of the course. He has tenure and emeritus status, so he’s basically impossible to get rid of, and I’m assuming he’ll come prancing back on his high horse to keep on doing his propaganda course as soon as trump is out. Hopefully he loses his status, funding, or right to teach a class, but who knows...

The biggest problem with Trump's approach to trade is that he's stuck in the zero sum game mentality. It's how he's approached his business dealings (and seemingly his whole life): every encounter, every deal has a winner and a loser. But that's not how trade is supposed to work. When you go to the store and buy something, do you always assume that either you're screwing the store over or it's screwing you over? No. As long as the sale was made in good faith and neither side pulled any dishonest shenanigans, you got something you needed/wanted and the store got some money. Everybody wins.

@ThomasFoolery8 5 лет назад

MrClickity in that case it doesn’t matter. China should let Trump think he won and win smaller on the side. I don’t get this argument. Trump wants more. Whether you call it zero sum or not doesn’t matter. Fold and give him concessions. What’s the problem here?
