None of these have been confirmed.... at least I find no evidence of this, I have yet to see one make a statement. Have you ever seen a factory moved? It takes 1-3 yrs. It's not happening next month. Between then and now these factories are already laying workers off starting today.
Here's food for thought,... >IF< our FORMER allies want to get nasty, which they are starting to do,... they can charge us for bases on their land, or worse kick us out, they can and probably will avoid helping us in any war. We no longer have allies that trust us. They also probably already stopped sharing intel because of the other issue and this.
If our products are not being sold there, our jobs start dumping, not vice versa. consumer confidence is in the pits, what makes you think they are going to buy anything? This can only go bad, unless he lifts them. China, Russia and N Korea love the crap out of watching us implode from within.
That said, In my world, when someone strong arms ya,.. you may go along with it and put a face on it, but first chance to screw you really hard they will. False positives.
Someone made mention we can make almost everything we use.....could be some truth to that, but many products you eat and use are not grown here. We get a lot more import products than many are aware of. Ya like Olive oil,.. pay double. Ya like bananas, pay double. You like your VKB joy stick, pay double. these guys are trying their best to smooth over a catastrophe, saving face. The only time they have to face reality is when it finally burns them. So ya,.. burn it down, make them finally feel it. I was proactive and yanked my money... I can watch this lesson learned.
