    If the USA could just get off the over-consumption kick we seem to be on and get off the crack pipe of cheap consumer products, and move our means of production to other places including the U.S. China may not be so bold. We’ve handed it to them all in the name of cheap labor and profit for the big corps…which actually isn’t so cheap anymore anyway. Make them feel it. Get off of Tik-Tok too.

    Yeah, just do it stupid

      The majority of Americans are barely scraping by as it is. Make it so consumer goods are a lot more expensive and you will really see what the cool zone has to offer. You just know the person making this comment is some comfortable labor aristocrat who loves their high end luxury treats who thinks everyone poorer than them is just blowing money on new iPhones every other month. If the US were cut off from manufactured goods produced cheaply from outside the US, the resulting collapse would make 90s Russia look like a balloon party.
