Their economic circumstances and "class" vary. It's not just the CBI who think May is a nightmare, not by a long shot. It seems a pretty widely held view. Of course among a certain set, rather like here where Albertans breed blinkered Conservatives for the country with side assists from Saskatchewan and rural Ontario, there are the usual stalwart Tories come what <b>May</b>. Yes, indeed.<br /><br />The CBI's reminder that US trade deal negotiators are harsh carries weight. Back during NAFTA negotiations, we got roasted if I remember the news of the time correctly. So when Trump said that Canadians outfoxed the US during those negotiations, I spewed my coffee over my tablet. One more example of how the man knows nuttin'.<br /><br />I'm surprised that as Imperial Hegemony Master, Trump hasn't decided to forget about all these countries exporting stuff and taking gross advantage of the US, hah, hah.<br /><br />No, he should just set up a America Appreciation Committee, and tax NATO countries in particular, and everyone else, maybe not quite so much. "We have to be fair, folks."<br /><br />Why yes. Just send in the America is Great assesssment fee monthly for agreeing the US is the most wunderful place and needs money to continue illegal invasions to put those still unlawful places under the US business heel too, plus of course to help pay for setting up US bases to keep an eye on all the natives and to make sure they toe the line with payments. "No defaults, folks. Not allowed. Oh? We have over 800 bases around the world already? This is big, very big, folks. Yuge. All we need to do is send out reparations, er, Appreciation invoices and make sure they get paid. And we have enforcement officers on the spot already. We'll make America Super Great again in no time!"<br /><br />And then we can all go away happy in a Mickey D greasy bad food fake news world and live happily ever after until the seas rise and smite us, tornadoes and hurricanes lay waste to us, wildfires scorch us, broiling heat kills off the elderly, crops fail and the world ends because as we all know man-made climate change doesn't exist. "Believe me folks. The Lord shall provide!"<br /><br />BM<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-40654298879323601172017-07-09T17:11:02.943-07:002017-07-09T17:11:02.943-07:00That's a good point, Rumley.
