Trade.....

seems trade talks are making the rounds again.
Trump seems to be pushing his America first agenda, however, I think that really is not such a distinguishable item.
I will use my job in the commercial aircraft business.
These American made planes have thousands of parts made in different countries, which benifits all of us.
Why think in a two dimensional term, us, them?

If cheaper labor and polluting practices results in cost saving at a retail purchase, why do you forfeit your scruples to save a buck?

I believe a global economy is going to be a fact of life, you can fight it, to a losing end, or accept it and help streer it to the best outcome for the most, folk.
Isolating is so last century mind thought.

Of course, the real test is the quality of the parts and materials equal or better than what we can do?  Otherwise outsourcing, first to states (The Carolinas) rather than the Frozen North, then to Mexico etc and now across the pond(s) is a fact.

Last century was the century of White supremecy etc and all that the Tweeter holds dear.  We are living thru the hell of the backlash to historic movement, but rich as they are, no one can hold back time. Imperial Rome should have taught that lesson.

Farmers liked Nafta.
We shipped much produce into Mexico.
They shipped us bankrupt farmers.

Yes, trade between nations in all parts of the world is reasonable to expect.
Doing it the way we did it is economic suicide.
Or haven't you noticed?
