    No matter how bad it is, just say we got the best deal, and they will believe it is.

    You mean the old deal that was imposed on everyone else; before he got offended and slapped 150% tariff on them.

    IDK; when someone starts a fire, then puts it out; is that a hero or an arsonist??????

    We are dependent on Chinese slave labor and there is no turning back. Can’t match the prices, and if certain things are going to be made in USA with non slave labor fine, that’s great. Be willing to pay more, a lot more, and the quality probably won’t be as good. The world will be changed for a long time.
    Just leave tariffs alone and get to work on helping Ukraine push Russia back. Zelensy said the current admin removed 20,000 missiles to the middle east.

    What do you think the metropole countries were doing with their colonies including the 13 on the coast of Eastern North America?

    All episodes of The Simpsons have been drawn by AKOM Studios in South Korea. Other animation companies have joined in recently. It is very unlikely that they work as slave labor, but 120 animators (they use) if paid 'Hollywood' rates, would not have allowed this show to 'pencil out' for about 3 decades.

    So the republishing above strikes me as ironic.

    ==
    AKOM does a lot of other animation work. IMDB it.
