America Is Already Great Innit Mates

[Felton Jarvis]

I hope this tariff threat causes Thailand to end its ruinous taxation on Western goods and services. Expats pay far too much to enjoy Western food and other products.

LOL! Anyone thinking America is so great at the moment must be sleeping under a stone, live in Thailand and be drunk in a bar every day and dreaming about the "good old days" when America did invade countries everywhere! Lol! At the moment an idiot is at risk of running America into the ground. Former allies of the US is now about to turn their backs on them and seeking other trading partners. What is so great actually???

For anyone who's paying attention it's quite obvious that America's been on the decline for at least 30 years, and Trump is precipitating that decline dramatically with his completely ridiculous and utterly uninformed tariff policies.

Travelling USA from 1984 to 1995 I got a seriously reality check while experience everything else I thought USA was and about. Minnesota visiting family was my first trip, and not so much different from what I thought USA was about, but going east and south changed my perspective radically, and the state Washington   I truly saw poverty, and the same in Florida, but different.

 

China have already passed USA in so many ways, technology vise and will and power to execute essential projects faster and better than what we can do and perform in the west.

All you have to do is compare Amtrak with China's high speed trains and you have a rather vivid comparison of the lack of infrastructure development in the US, compared to China. 

 

There's no doubt that Asia continues to ascend while the US and Europe continue to decline. I don't see that changing anytime soon. Trump is not going to bring manufacturing back to the US, it's way too costly and there's a reason why it shifted overseas to begin with, none of that has changed. If the Goombah is serious about improving things in America the first thing he needs to figure out is how to lower prices in America which are astronomical at this point. My guess is that real inflation is about 22% annually right now. I am in the US and every single one of my staples goes up 10 to 12%, every 6 months. Magnesium ore and other ridiculous

commodities that they used to determine inflation, which enable them to continue the lie, has absolutely no bearing on our lives.
