The Donald to the rescue!
Tru...No need for worry. The Donald to the rescue! <br /><br />Trump is actually saving the world from global warming. You just don't know it yet. That's why the globalists are relentlessly attacking him in their corporate "Fake News" media. <br /><br />Trump is putting an end to the poly-unsustainable process of shipping all the factories, jobs and GHG emissions to countries like China. <br /><br />Trump is right. Global warming is a Chinese conspiracy theory! China pretends to be green by exporting solar panels. But then they burn so much coal their industrial cities are choking in smog.<br /><br />They have no plans to reduce emissions either. They announced they would START reducing emissions in 2030 a while back. Terrible news that was heralded in the Orwellian media. Now they took that off the table because Trump is stopping the exodus of wealth and jobs in structural trade deficits.<br /><br />So Trump is setting up an international trading regime based on fair managed trade and social tariffs. <br /><br />He probably realizes more than anyone – because he's in the club – that the carbon market is just another trough. Just another way for entitled High-Born moochers to squeeze more wealth from the body economic. <br /><br />Do you realize they looted $2T from the Fed treasury AFTER raiding trillions from homeowners, taxpayers and investors triggering the collapse the global financial system in 2008? These people are animals! They are completely incapable of comprehending what they're doing. Like a plague. They're nothing more than ambition, instinct and Selfish-Gene warfare run amok. They will literally kill us all if they're not reined in! <br /><br />And that's where The Donald comes in. He has the ginormous bull by the horns! And it obviously ain't too happy about it, neither! But he's not trying to slay it. He just wants to get it out of the China shop before it tears the whole goddamn place to the ground!<br /><br />So DJT's idea of using social tariffs to force oligarchs to pay their workers living wages to eliminate whopping structural trade deficits, is also how you persuade them to better their environmental regs. With green tariffs. <br /><br />The Donald is right again: trade wars are easy to win. The oligarchs – the Men of Always – make their money exporting to Western markets. Trump holds all the cards, and he's playing 'em. (And now it's clear that no one else in the world would've had sense or guts enough to do it.)<br /><br />Neoliberal, free-trade globalists like Merkel, Macron and Trudeau say Trump is crazy. (One of the many crap-throwing narratives from On High.) But really it's crazy to think there's an infinite amount of wealth you can plunder from the Western economy – which, if it collapses, will explode into the mother of all wars: Armageddon.<br /><br />(Would it be funny that Jesus turned out to be right? Or humiliating?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-40324596859199105692018-12-27T12:45:09.691-08:002018-12-27T12:45:09.691-08:00Tying up our hands was/is a major reason for trade...Tying up our hands was/is a major reason for trade agreements.

Under the rules of the game, if you own enough stock, you get to dictate corporate policy. If the Canadian government bought enough stock in some of our oil and gas companies, it could turn them into energy companies, willing to invest in renewable sources and cut down on carbon extraction. <br /><br />Of course, that would require a government committed to those goals, and we have little evidence of that.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
