What a stupid all the world economy ministers in the world. How can a country become a wealth country if USD is manipulated? 65 years the world is under capitalism era but what has happened is all natural resources are gone but the majority of the world population is poor. Why? Because everything is calculated using USD. The question is how about if the USD, the dividing number, is being manipulated? For example, 1 USD = 85 rupee. Let say 85 million Rupee / 85 Rupee = USD 1 million. Now the dividing number is manipulated into 1 USD = 85,000 rupee. Thus 85 million/85,000 rupee = USD 1,000. How about that dividing number is manipulated again becomes 1 USD = 85 trillion? 85 million/85 trillion = USD 0.000001 The question is how can you get the similar income of USD 1million from USD 0.000001 if the dividing number has been manipulated from 85 into 85 trillion? How hard do you have to work if the dividing number is being manipulated from 85 rupee into 85 trillion? How many assets do you have to give up if the dividing number has been manipulated from 85 to 85 trillion? So, no matter how hard you work, if the system is a corrupt system, you will get nothing. Is this system fair?

My cousin is a hardcore “made in America only” advocate! He deplores anyone buying products made abroad. He even drives an American vehicle! One day, while debating this matter, I asked him to let me check his wardrobe and throw out any non American garments and shoes out into the trash bin. Also to let me check the entire house to find any non American made items and dump them in the trash. Also to let me check his American vehicle for any foreign made components and remove them and dump them too in the trash! End of discussion! We never talk on that subject ever again!

This is the problem. The wealthy with tons of help from Republicans have kept wages artifically low in the U.S. for the majority of the workforce. Rising less than the true rate of inflation ever since "Trickle Down" and Reaganomics. The American people are very slow for the most part and have not noticed. They have not noticed, because all the American goods have been replaced with cheap crap from abroad, mostly China. If that manufacturing actually came back to the U.S., prices on everything would jump 30-40%. The people would realize that their wages needed to go up 30-40%. That is why there will be next to nothing that comes back to America in manufacturing. China has a trillion dollar trade surplus, they make things, we don't, we can't. The greed of our wealthy is what put us in this position, they wanted the higher profit margins manufacturing abroad would give them.

Additionally, China is home to 80-90% of the world's rare earth metals production. Rare earth metals are used in batteries, magnets, LEDs, screens, hard disks, solar panels, wind turbines, smart phones, etc. Therefore, it's impossible to decouple with China's economy.

[@skeletonmandiecastcollector]

Yup, I agree and I ain’t into left vs right politics. When manufacturing was happening in the past in the 1950s in the United States, American made goods “MADE IN USA” are using materials, minerals imported from China and other countries to assemble, make, build USA MADE GOODS and the funny thing about this whole situation is that right leaning Trump fans don’t their own research on their own without being biased with one sided news outlets or Truth social.

Trump's tariff idea is all about transferring wealth from common people to the wealthiest in the US. He will cut the income tax for the riches and corporate tax. The revenue has to be generated somewhere. Tariff is a form of a general tax. No matter what income level you are in, you pay the same amount of tax for the goods and services. It's perfect way of transferring wealth to the richest.

Its sickening. NB employment rate for men is sitting at 65%. How you aristocrats planned on surviving this continuing is a mystery to me.

[@Ziegfried82]

There is no world in which the commoners will get ahead in the USA. Tariffs will bleed the commoners. So will the income tax. Remember: the Federal income tax in the USA is over 20% for people making more than $47,000 per year. That means the average American is paying 20% or more in Fed taxes. Many US States have income taxes over 5% on top of that, with SS and medicare taxes on top of that. When you add up all the taxes in the USA you will find the Chinese have a lower tax burden in general. I think China does taxes a lot better since their taxation is focused on consumption not income.

[@DragonYang01]

@@gezenews It is really odd to think other countries are lack of freedom. You really need to travel to Asia to understand that the freedom is not just a declaration. Freedom is ability to do things. If you are out of job and don't have wealthy inheritance, you don't have much freedom. If you go to China, you will find they have more freedom to do what they want because their incomes afford the majority of people to do things.

Nowadays even the so-called “Democrats” in the US government are actually right-wingers! They might be less fascist and less extreme than the Republicans but they are still right-wingers!

The United States politicians should look back at why manufacturing was relocated to China for the past 4 decades in the first place. The main underlying factor was cost of production. The US manufacturing could not compete with China on cost of production. Four decades have past, is there any change to cost of production? The answer is no, in fact the cost of production in the US is still much higher than in China, even the same cost has somehow risen in China. The US Government imposes high import tariffs on Chinese goods in the hope that the US manufacturing can resurrect. But when the cost in US is still not competitive with China's, and with China's advancements in manufacturing technology in leaps and bounds, there is no way manufacturing will go back to the US.

California wants to build a HSR from SF to LA, but after spending 100 billion they’ve only got about 1/4 of the line working in the Central Valley where few people live.

Here is a data point for you guys, back in 2010 (which was what, 15 years ago?), we did outsourcing in Asia Pacific. I have a complete rate card for every country in Asia. Here is the order of the most expensive labour: 1. Australia/New Zealand (not surprise) 2. Japan (not surprise too) 3. China But if I add pension and insurance, and the full burden rate, China was actually in 2nd place, higher than Japan. In fact the most "cost effective" labour was Malaysia. If you wanna to go for really cheap labour, probably Philippines but they only speak English. We loved using the Malaysia hub as they speak 4 languages, and relatively cheap in Asia - best value for money. Sorry, I digress. China is not cheap. but China is very effective depending on what kind of skills you are looking for.

@@Vjaffacake-c6t There is a balance of skills and cost. For example, Vietnam is cheap when it comes to certain brains per dollar. I can hire a university grad, really clever, hard working and think positively, and they come in numbers, US$500 per month, but they lack creativity. So I have to pair them up with a leader, middle management, to make it work. That means I have to send someone, in their 30-40s, most probably with a wife and kids to Vietnam and station there for a good 5 years..... span of control is around 8-12 to become effective, so for a team of 25 people, I will need 2 of these kinds of managers and that is cost for me too. You see how money isn't everything. You can say it's x dollars times numbers of new talents + y dollars times number of old talent..... yeah, it's a maths question in the end; but if I blindly go for really cheap labour, and just making pans and pots, maybe that's a no brainer. The above question is based on making AI software scenario. Every industry is different. China carries a unique status when it comes to supply chain, and no easy to replace. When I contract an OEM manufacturer, to me, it's only one factory; behind the scene there are 12 others suppliers and with quality control coming to mind, I have to consider beyond the manufacturer whom I am contracted with. That is why it's not an easy thing to resolve. Money isn't the whole piece of jig-saw puzzle. Again, China is not cheap labour, but certain quality is guaranteed, that's all. Like McDonald is not the best food, but I still go there, becoz certail "quality" is always guaranteed no matter where you go on this Earth!

At a dinner, somehow, I got tabled with the president of the Alabama company. At that time Japan and South Korea were turning into manufacturing power-houses. During dinner, the subject of Japan and South Korea came up. Being a product testing technician, I was tasked with testing all sorts of components and at the time a growing number of them, the engineers were providing, were from East Asia (*mostly for cost reduction). The President started droning on that he did not feel Asia was any kind of real threat and they merely "copy cat" goods and they were not innovative. In the US we were calling it "reverse-engineering but I digress. At the dinner, I piped in and said "I don't know, I've seen some pretty good stuff from Japan coming through the Lab. I got chastised by the company president during dinner and in a nutshell got told I had no idea what I was talking about. The warning signs have been with us for decades.

In the 60s and 70s, it was assumed that India could have had rail-linked the whole Asia landmass, ( just refer to the reports by ADB and UNESCAP then) , her supposedly strength was based on the thought that since she had inherited a working railway system from her British colonial master, she should be able to take the advantage of destructed Japan and China then. What happened? It certainly takes all more then words like just the command of English.
