There is no denying that China has abused trade with the USA
You would first need to explain what you mean by that. Trade is an exchange of goods and services, mostly with the use of money.

What do you mean by "trade abuse"? Such term does not even seem to exist in economics.

American businesses seeking to recapture those child labor rates
Cheap labor has hurt the middle class more than anything. The govertmaent needs corporate tax money and is controlled by lobbyists. I am excited to see both administrations bringing manufacturing back to America. Once the business competes for workers, my kids can move up the food chain.

Just Google what Obama was complaining about.

No, I will not be googling "what Obama was complaining about". You used the term, you define what you meant, then.

Eh. I am not sure why you are refusing to define what you meant by the trade abuse. I will guess you simply do not know what you meant.

Can you expand on this? What exactly do you see happening? What sort of manufacturing? What sort of prices for manufactured goods compared to what you are paying now (often for imported goods)? Where is this going to occur? How long before it can be set up? What numbers in regard to employment?

I see a lot about 'bringing manufacturing back' but there's rarely any details. Why don't we knock this around for a while...

I don't have to tell you what Biden did, do I? I don't have to tell you what Trump did during his first term with the TCJA and regulations. This term, you've heard in the news about investment by some foreign countries and American companies increasing manufacturing in America.

How about we don't, because it's all in the news.

You are simply geniuses. First, you go against Biden because a lot of cheap labor came to the USA. You want to deport them all and then you cheer Trump for "bringing manufacturing back", without having enough of people willing or physically fit to effectively work in manufacturing for minimal wages.

Well, thank you, I'd never expect to hear this about this "low information voter".

I think your filters in your brain are malfunctioning, and you are hallucinating what I wrote. What post did I criticize Biden?

You got me mixed up with someone else in your delusion. Again, post where I said to deport them all. Ridiculous!

I can read the news any time. I'd like to know what you expect to happen.

Then why didn't you say that in the first place?
Once the business competes for workers, my kids can move up the food chain.
I answered it on the original post you quoted.

You literally quoted me asking for your input...

There were a few questions there. None of which were anywhere near answered by you saying that you expect your kids to move up some food chain.

Do you not know that the word "you" can be both plural and singular, in English?

Guess what, by saying "you are simply geniuses" I did not mean one person.

What? I didn't ask you a thing #28. We must be living on a different plane of existence.
You seem to be very confused. He asked you questions and you did not provide any substantial answers, as has been your usual modus operandi, lately.

I never claimed to have a dictionary of vocabulary. But when you said " you are simply geniuses," I assumed I was included in your plurality. I figured it would be impolite not to say thank you, so if I wasn't included, then I take it back.

Are you being purposely obtuse? I am asking YOU what you specifically expect. To repeat myself...

What sort of manufacturing? What sort of prices for manufactured goods compared to what you are paying now (often for imported goods)? Where is this going to occur? How long before it can be set up? What numbers in regard to employment?
