Global warming

[Sniper56]

In the past few days much has been on the tube about China, global warming and the Big O's telling China they must do their part.

My son lives in northern Ohio and woke up this morning to four inches of global warning covering the ground, he said it is good hunting weather.

Remember... Global warming is in the past. "Climate change" is what we're (they're) after now.

Global warming aside, just from the pollution standpoint, I'm surprised you have to tell China to do something. Have you seen Beijing on a normal day? I couldn't live like that. They could hack the technology of our coal stack scrubbers and actually see down two city blocks.

I think it is fairly obvious to anyone and any cypress knee, that the ruling party in China couldn't give less than a half turd about their own people. However, they are smart enough to know that in order to remain in power they must appease the illusion that they do. Also, it is true the air in the money making centers in China are heavily polluted. And despite their insane policy of limiting the number of children, their population continues to grow exponentially.

Where are all those people going to go when they start to burst at the seams? Which territory over there are they going to expand to? The ruling party doesn't want to breathe that crappy air either.

China is catching up to the rest of the world as fast as it can. Signing a large contract with Russia for natural gas will see more gas fired plants instead of coal plants. They know they have to change and they will sooner or later.

Main issue for the US is that without China we would be back in the 30's style depression. Our dollar would go no where in purchasing power. It is called smalls.

The US use to manufacuture all of the smalls here as well as the large items. Smalls are small appliances, shoes, toys, tools, furniture, fixtures, plumbing parts- all the little samll items that are not very complex but basic everyday items. It was this capacity that made the US the sleeping giant in WWII. We are no longer that sleeping giant but a snoozing frog hopping from one event to another with no plan on permanence.

WE have no manufacturing capacity in the US; quality products from China don't exist they just get tossed. Think who repairs a TV? Nobody! throw it out the door get a less than $200.00 flat screen and move on. Why pay $90-100.00 to be told that your TV is broke and needs a $50.00 card this is worth $3.00 is not good economic sense.

So China will be making all the desires of the US public while we quietly become unemployed, on assiatence or in some job that has nothing to do with our abilitiy. China will cure its pollution problems as we did here, but their agressive nature will have them ruling the world either financially, militarily or both. In the mean time we have to fight to keep Marxism out of our lives.

Amen to that.

It's not just the government at fault though. We the people do things like to be extremely picky with the resumes of people we hire instead of actually testing the people applying for jobs with us like we did back in the day. We require obnoxious amounts of experience or degrees or both(and how do you get experience if everyone requires experience?). On top of that, we set the minimum wage so obnoxiously high so small businesses can't afford to hire people to do small jobs, and the big businesses that make small things just give their money to places like China and Mexico because labor and taxes are so cheap there that it's cheaper to ship commodities and parts there to be manufactured and assembled and ship the assembled/manufactured item back here. That's what you call sweatshops, and small businesses aren't big enough to take advantage of that and find super cheap shipping and hire expensive accountants and managers to find all these loopholes.

We've been literally driving the manufacture of small stuff industry out of the country and China has been making bank on that fact for years now, and now Mexico is even jumping on the wagon. Mexico has a card they play that even China doesn't, though...their big export that they make a ton of money off of is smuggling drugs and people. If they ever get less than retarded at managing their country, they could actually be a world power. Fortunately I doubt they could manage their way out of a wet paper bag, so I don't think that'll be a huge issue, but still.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, you just kinda got me started when you mentioned that stuff, haha.

This is not really true. Only ~15 percent of U.S. imports come from China. Additionally all of the basic types of manufactured consumer goods that China exports to the United States can be imported from other countries or simply produced domestically. The prices for goods would certainly be a little higher, but the difference in costs would be relatively negligible. The more other asian countries develop, they narrow the production gap between their goods and China's. There genuinely isn't much difference.

If anything, much to the dismay of preppers and conspiracy theorists, China needs the US far more than vice versa. Exports are the foundation and walls of the Chinese economy, and if they lost half of it today (roughly our purchase percentage), they'd be devastated. We'd simply buy elsewhere or produce it ourselves, and I'm a fan of the latter.

And this^ may be true; but what makes you go, hmmmm? Is for instance, we are now importing over 85% of all of the seafood consumed in the U.S. from foreign countries. And of that number, China is by far the largest of all seafood imports by a large amount over the others.

Think about that for a minute.
