The simplest way for China to out tariff the US is to stop loaning the US the money we use to purchase their goods, they have enormous power to dump USD fiat, dump US bonds, and cease financing the US deficit. It would cripple their exports, yes... however it would also effectively bankrupt the US and end the dollar hegemony as reserve currency. Every year they buy our bonds and trillions are added to our deficit it is like a bow being further pulled back with a financial dooms day tipped arrow upon us. IMO tariffs are an act of war. I feel the same way about sales tax and speeding tickets tho... so take it as you will.

But, but, but - this is the Greatest Economy Ever in the history of Ever, Anywhere!!!! Why would such an economy think it needs to resort to socialist protectionist tariffs to survive. Or why would the President of the Greatest Economy Ever" go publicly whining and wailing that the Federal Reserve is not lowering rates manipulating and distorting the markets enough to keep the "bubble" economy alive? Why would the "Greatest Economy Ever" be dependent on Federal Reserve artificial market distortions to survive? But at least the stock market bubble is still bubbling over - NOT! At least the real estate bubble is still bubbling up - NOT! At least the federal deficit is down and the budget balanced - NOT! At least the federal debt bubble is under control and not breaking new levels - NOT! At least the US consumer debt bubble is not breaking new astronomical levels - NOT! At least the Fed has cleared its balance sheets of all those $trillions toxic asset bailout purchases - NOT! At least its not so bad that our overlords aren't desperately resorting to isolationist trade wars and misguided Bernie Sanders style socialist protectionist tariffs and policies - NOT!

Damn those Chinese. Who do they think they are supplying American business and manufacturers with low cost materials and supplies for their business and manufacturing needs. Raise the cost!

1064310944082333696 Chipotle caught lying about the incident.

Chipotle words: “Our policy is to treat our customers and employees fairly and with respect at all times and under any circumstances." - Chipotle actions: "Unless the customer is no customer at all, but a repeat thief and liar trying to steal again but cries "racist" when thwarted. Then Chipotle's policy is to immediately throw its employee under the bus, publicly berate her and fire her via twitter for actually doing the right thing, and then suck up to the lying thief."

Wow, that's even more severe than building a wall!

Washington fines French Bank Societe Generale $1.3 billion for not obeying US law and doing business with Cuba and Iran. Because Washington is emperor of the whole world - policeman of the entire globe.

Yay, democracy! #thegodthatfailed

If I wasn't so far away I would keep an eye out for you, good luck.

Nice, 73's are better looking though...

This is why I'm going retro with everything, piss on em. I sold my 81 F-150 stepside shorty to a buddy because of too many vehicles. Now my work rig is a 1973 dodge van with a 318 and a three on the tree, I love it. My motorhome is a 79 chev with a smallblock 400, old school stuff I can work on, runs like a dream. People in their newer rigs get pissed when I pass them on the road with that old van, cracks me up. If you ever see me in a Prius, please shoot me because my mind must not be functioning anymore.

Why, how gracious of them! They summarily fire her without bothering to find out what actually happened first, and then, when they do find out, they magnanimously allow as how they might permit her the honor of continuing to work for them. SMGDH. I know how I would respond ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj2iGAifSNI

This stuff is child abuse of the highest order, all to satisfy the twisted mental workings of the adults doing the influencing.

Well, as least they don't require finger snapping like in the beatnik coffee shops. Cool man, cool.

Here is the REAL intent. Do you think these fucking moron retard imbecile room temperature IQ jackboot Snowflakes would vote to protect the 1st Amendment, or against it?
