  2. Useless government furloughed, agriculture and industry moving, shaking and growing. Perfect!

  3. That’s cute. Still bailing out farmers who’ve been hammered by the trade war with the import taxes that instigated the war in the first place. Or at least he will be when Trump caves on the shutdown.

    1. US Government isn’t shut down. Useless bureaucrats are furloughed. The rest of whatever you wrote is a half past lunch.

      1. Furloughed until they are back reinstated and receive back-pay. Pointless. What does ‘half past lunch mean’? I don’t communicate in the cutesy country-isms or what have you of blue collar types.

        1. “Blue collar types”? What a condescending DIKK!

          1. You’ve not read much here, because there are a preponderance of “white collar types” here on SDA … myself included … who also respect and have concern for the hard working “blue collar types” whose wages have been depressed by unchecked legal and illegal immigration.

          2. Government workers are now making FAR MORE $$$ than comparable private sector workers … of all collar types. With the added benefit of never possibly getting fired. The taxpaying suckers have been asleep at the switch while the public sector UNIONS have been sucking the coffers dry … and then demand MORE $$$ and MORE government employees. I have ZERO “compassion” for the vacationing non-essential (read: unnecessary) government employees.

  4. Ahem:

    “Part of the yuan’s decline was caused by the need to raise hard currency to pay for grain on international markets. One way of coping with starvation had been to move grain from surplus areas to famished regions, but by the autumn of 1960, as another crop failure worsened the famine, this strategy had very little effect. Zhou Enlai and Chen Yun managed to convince Mao that grain had to be imported from capitalist countries. How they did this remains unclear, but they probably sold the idea by portraying imports of grain as a way to boost exports for cash.”

    Now China is buying foreign grain once more?

  6. And why should President Trump do such a thing? It’s not his fault China has never been able to feed itself.

    If China has too many people and not enough food, a few well-placed cobalt-salted bombs should fix that problem right quick.

  7. This is the same China that has admirals who want to tell the US to buzz off by sinking one or two Aircraft Carriers. Sink a few carriers and we will let them take Taiwan! Sheer genius! Then what happens?

    Without using nukes: The US Navy and Coast Guard detachments based at US and allied ports become rich by seizing every Chinese merchant ship in their area. There are billions in prize money to be had. All imports and exports to and from China cease as any remaining Chinese ships at sea are sunk and any other nations merchant marine are seized or sunk. That includes food and OIL. Half of China is suddenly unemployed as their export markets dry up. Add a few strategic nonnuclear strikes against energy assets and transportation bottlenecks, and Xi will be hard pressed to maintain control inside China much less over Taiwan or Asia.

    If it goes nuclear, none of this matters, as both China and North America (including Canada) pretty much cease to exist.

  8. one should always feed one’s enemies, otherwise they will not be healthy enough to kill you.
