my ex told me that a bunch of times. she felt a rich person simply couldn't mismanage the economy or, in particular, diplomatic affairs, because they're "negotiators". and she was a nonvoting apolitical retarded starchild. anyone stupid was really vulnerable to that particular line of thinking because it is so thoroughly baked into the capitalist discourse
he mismanaged most of his businesses, so he's got experience at what not to do! (this sounds like the case for Carly Fiorina too)

sounds like someone who doesn't realize that wealth generation is mostly gravitational

Xi banned the new Christopher Robin movie because he was upset over the Winnie the Pooh memes.

How did Winnie the Pooh become associated with China anyways? It's a British story named after the author's son's stuffed animal named after a Canadian bear, and had a resurgance in popularity because of Disney.

Edit: China, not Change. I have no idea why it autocorrected like that.

It wasn't a symbol of change. It was being used to poke fun at Xi who looks like a chubby bear to attach with their message.

obama also did bad deals like the iran nuclear deal, which was very bad for some reason. trump does good deals and gets him bigly respect from the international community and he’s definitely not a laughing stock

This thread's like staring into the void.
Maybe this has been asked, at what point will the countries economy tank with the existing and new tariffs happening? I read about job growth, market rises, some local negatives like plant closings but nothing like 2008 yet. I know numbers reported are probably disingenuously selected to keep appearances but at some point that will not hold if a collapse is imminent. So what are the cracks to look out for? Also what is the possibility they do work? What are reasons people are saying the tariffs will work?

lol it will crack about as soon as the Dems win some seats in November, making it a very handy blame game for Doland to play. Of course that's what will play out.
