It is very convenient that most USA cities are segregated. Chicago for example: Pilsen, Little Village, Humboldt Park = Mexicans and Latinos. Easy arrests for the deportation police. Miami for example: Little Havana, Little Haiti - another easy one. South and east Los Angeles - start packing.
The blueberry farmers - say goodbye to the migrant farmers they gone.
My friend is an immigration attorney. She is very busy now. People are freaking out. She is advising her clients that in January when you leave home in the morning just be prepared you wont be coming home ever again.
You do know why Chicago is so bad right now right? It's a sanctuary city that houses illegal migrants so you know. The more people deported the lower the crime rate.
If it shows positive results it should be considered good. We just need to wait and see. But since it doesn't affect you personally(hopefully) you don't need to worry about it.
Do you understand how tarifs work? If I am Apple and I make and Iphone in China, and USA puts a tariff on my product of 20 percent, I have to raise my cost to the US consumer to make up for that cost. Prices will go up. China does not pay a dime. Therefore inflation. If you want a tax cut - inflation.
I understand you want cheap gas and eggs and dont care what Trump did at all. You just want the reality of cheap again. Hope I am wrong but its not every going to get cheap again with Kleptocrats in power.
I live in Chicago. The Venezuelans live in the old Inn of Chicago on N. St Clair and E. Ohio St. The sell elotes and empanadas outside. Kids ride bikes. Men go to physical labor. Women sell candy on the streets. Why do you think Chicago is so bad?
In my brutal honest opinion both sides are kleptocrats you don't get into positions of power with honesty. It's just that the republican party tries to at least make things better than when they went in. Tariffs work to reduce foreign competition and promote local businesses. Which mind you we need right now.
Immigrants dont have guns.. They barely have shoes.
The shooting is gang related and has been ongoing for a long time. Mostly that is on the deep south side or west side. It is a long story but what happened is police took all the gang leaders to prison. The remaining groups broke up into factions. Now if you dont carry a gun in some of those places they say - why you lackin? and its grounds to be killed. Then a retalliation kill and on and on. Reading for you: Gangleader for a day. My Bloody Life. Both about Chicago.
Rather than make assumptions try to ask questions and research . try this: https://www.criticalthinking.org/files/Concepts_Tools.pdf
Everything is made in China. Temu, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Walmart, Amazon, everything you buy there will cost more. The foreign competition happens to be the game. Now if you want to shop Main street USA that is obviously for the best but now your dealing with the faulty urban structure of most USA cities. Car dependent, Parking Lot Moats around a Power center that is really a fake urban structure. You will drive down a stroad, yes stroad....a road that feeds a strip mall or power center where you find a big box store and those roads are extremly dangerous. No walking. No bikes. Fast moving cars. Pollution.
In the 1990s we saw the Berlin wall fall. the soviet Union disband. We developed an internet, computers, fax machines and the like. Policies developed to share these ideas with China, Russia so that they might see through information technology that the USA is obviously something to be admired. This was all home grown USA. Dudes building computers in a garage type of thing. The abstract thing that happened is that rather than the USA winning over dictators is that we ended up wanting dictatorship. We want a strongman in power we admire, and he can never be wrong even if he did have an affair with Summer Zervos, STORMY DANIELS, and I hear he owes E Jean Carrol 80 million in damages for r4pe.
But why should we care because we want control, cheap eggs and gas. And we want Drive Thru everything. Its America.
Chinese products occupy the market through low prices, largely due to the low wages and long hours of high-intensity labor of workers. I'm a typical example myself. The salary for my first job after graduating from college was thirty yuan per day. I know people from other countries have no idea about this - my lunch costs nearly twenty yuan. Not to mention my other living expenses. At that time, I worked twelve hours a day, rested one day a week, and had no statutory holidays. The company does not allow me to rest during work, even if my body is not feeling well. My family is obstructing me from quitting this job because it is considered good in my city. Trump wants to revitalize the manufacturing industry in the United States. But the fact is that unless the situation of Chinese workers improves, Chinese goods still have an overwhelming advantage in price - this cannot be changed by increasing tariffs.
For the record we have a regional rules against 'double posting' (with reasonable exceptions). It's fine to comment on one another, but don't make a separate post for every little comment, 3 or 4 in a row.
No company in the world has a five year plan to relocate factories or business just to avoid a tariff. Taking a couple year hit is way less than moving every single asset to the USA where you have to pay higher wages and change your whole price structure.
Might it be that one reason we’re feeling sick right now is that our natural desire to be fond of one another is being thwarted by distant, profit-based forces
