Euro isn't doing jack because we took necessary steps to take Saddam out with a clear message to OPEC. So don't support Russia.
Hahaha. Um, no. Invading Iraq did not "resonate" like that. Europe has problems internally that has made it a less attractive fiat than the ruble...which is now considered among the most stable currencies in the world. It's more about their failures than the US invading Iraq.
But who do we get oil from?
Them and dozens of other countries that aren't going to let crazy old Chavez dictate how they collectively operate.
And how does that change anything if you bought a used Suby?
*Ahem.* Buying a used Subaru intrinsically increases the resale value of that model intrinsically. One of the major reason people buy established car models is due to resale value. Ergo, it helps the Japanese economy moreso than it would affect the US economy. Plus, were I to need OEM parts, it would also directly help them moreso than buying a US product. Decreasing the trade deficit is a way to strengthen the dollar as its is thus not intrinsically devalued as a fiat and, thus, more attractive to foreign banks...
Do Toyota and Honda workers in the US work for $10 per hour? Didn't think so.
Ok, if it is an American MADE car, I would then consider it. Show me such models and I may consider them. I considered the Matrix. The engine for it is made in WV. Though I prefer US made from US company. Like my Tauruses. One is made in Chicago, the other in Atlanta.
So should you thank foreign auto makers who set up shop in the US with US workers?
Certainly moreso than Subaru. A fraction of their manufacturing is in the US...some SUV nobody likes. All of their sedans are made in Japan.
Cut off trade with China? LMAO. This will give them more reasons to cozy up with the Russians! Good going Mikey.
Now you are actually talking good smack. You are right, just cutting them off is a bad idea. But there are things we could do to subtly nudge them in the correct direction. If we let all of this play out, the US will just be replaced...and we'll all be screwed...
Nope... you use "That's just capitalism" statement but when the real capitalism affects the US, you cry foul.
No, I accept that they are both capitalism and I am crying foul because it negatively affects the US economy and would like to not contribute to it...
Go look at your VIZIO and see where it was assembled and see if it says "Made in Taiwan." That sounds like assembled overseas with parts from multiple countries. Genius.
It died...and I remembered seeing that it was assembled in California somewhere.
Hey...true nationalist would still use Zenith tube TV with a digital converter. That's love for America.
Zenith is owned by LG...and all of the HDTVs out there are just relabeled LGs...
