Well we are trying to reduce our emissions, as you have probably noticed.
But if we become a third world nation doing it, the emissions will probably end up like Bali or Ho Chi Minh, and that wouldn't be good either. lol
I suppose it is a case of " be careful what you wish for". lol
China= axe to grind and massive potential to eff the world if they so choose.
No it is just a sad ending. IMOMight make our kids richer though. New industries, new higher tech manufacturing jobs; new projects to build them solar/wind farms.
Imagine how much more gas we can sell to Asians if we kept none of it back at all? Alright, not that much more than we do currently, but we'd be able to make a few more bucks out of it
No it is just a sad ending. IMO
But I'm happy, my grandson's best mate at school is chinese, he is teaching my grandson mandarin.
China and Asia, was the go to areas to offshore manufacturing, the result was inevitable.
The Companies that off shored the manufacturing, made huge profits, the shareholders and executives made huge money.
Now Trump has popped the bubble, the multinationals aren't happy. lol
In the suburb I'm in there is only two " European" style kids, in the granson's class, and he is one of them.There's Chinese where you live? Geez man, it is true that where there's smoke there's Chinese.
Trump said he pops the bubble. But not really though.
The corporations affected by either get exempts [Apple], or get to pass on the tariffs to consumers but get subsidised back for any losses. That's how they look after their bosses. And that should give these multinationals enough time to start diversifying away from China... and into other Asian cheap labour.
Something they're already considering anyway as China is getting a bit more "expensive" than other more desperate people nearby.

What's "European" style kids?
He might not have popped the bubble, but he certainly has put a rocket up the multinationals ar$e.
Which is a good thing, even you complain about the multinationals exploiting third World Countries, for their cheap labour.
Trump love him or hate him, has said if you want to off shore manufacturing to exploit cheap labour, we will put a tarrif on the imports.
Australia has had all our value added manufacturing shut down, because cheap overseas labour undercut us, yet we somehow have to fund the welfare system that the manufacturing supported.
Now we have the weird attitude, to say that Trump is wrong, what so the mutinational's are right to maximise profits by outsourcing and exploitng cheap labour?
People really need to work out what they are supporting. IMO
Just my opinion, and it as been proven wrong on numerous occassions.
Well answering that would be a mine field. lol
I worked for the U.S Navy a long time ago, in the early 1980's, I made a lot of African American friends.
Well one day I asked one of them, WTF do I call you people Negro, Black American, Coloured?
He said mate, we're Black, your White, get over it. lol
But it really was awkward trying to work out what wouldn't offend them, and that was back in the early 80's.
What seems to have happened now, is everyone has realised we piss on ourselves, to facilitate everyone else.
I think it is a British origin thing, they are always trying to excuse themselves, which eventually everyone has picked up on. lol
Even you used it. lol
Trump's just a politician. He can't decide or run anything without being approved by those who actually own and run the place. i.e. those who are actually richer and much smarter than he is.
So all his talk of this and that to control offshoring of jobs, fighting for the American plebs... to use your words... feeding the chooks.
Saw a recent interview with a Marxist [leftist professor of economics]... he was discussing Keynes and his economics. Basically, Keynes a capitalist [I know]... but his ideas was an enlightened one. In that, if capitalists want to keep all their assets and their heads, they better make sure that the peasants are well looked after else they have way too much time on their hands, sharpening pitchforks.
Western/American capitalists are fast coming to a point where those around them have more to gain by an uprising rather than keeping on taking it.
Unlike places like China or Vietnam or Africa... Western plebs can't really be forced march into labour camps or executed if they peacefully disobey and peacefully assemble.
At least he is rattling the 'can'.
He might not be achieving much.
But the multinationals, sending manufacturing to cheap labour, has been going on for decades.
Whether people like it or not, it has been improving those third World Countries lifestyles and it will need reigning in otherwise it will overshoot. Like it or not.lol
Well you could sponsor him to Australia, if he is a friend and a good worker, he will get more than that on the dole.Offshoring of jobs to third world ["emerging"] economies did benefit those countries. BUT...
But the vast benefits goes to US/Western/Foreign corporations and a few handpicked local elites who know a guy who runs the politburo.
A guy I know, and I consider him a friend even though I haven't spoke to him for years now. He's in VN, got odd jobs here and there... and one of the jobs was a labourer at a new resort/golf course they're building.
Work like dogs in the sun for $100AUD a month.
So I guess they benefit in that they have a job and could buy food. Not exactly raking it in you know.

Well get him here, we could do with workers, people who try.I "lend" him some cash a while back. He started some business with it and might be doing alright now.
