This is silly. The market "anticipated" the laws. Now we don't even have to use cause and effect for our conversations, we can instead posit a predictive marketplace. Karnak of Wall Street!Well, like I said, it sounds reasonable to me, as I believe people invest with an eye towards the future. But it is just a theory, and there are lots of those. The State Department has a slightly different one. It's my understanding that the trade barriers and the retaliations they brought certainly didn't seem to help matters. The theory (again, a theory) regarding job churn is that resources will be freed to do other things, hopefully better ones. And those that don't innovate can work for those who do, so there's supposed to be net job creation. That's the theory I choose to believe and implement whenever possible.
...America is being destroyed. Or maybe that's what you consider "good".Are you calling me a traitor? That's an awful thing to do for someone who merely has a difference of opinion, and it's an uncivil way to discuss/argue. I hate how we (figurative) are becoming so polarized as a society that anyone who has a different opinion is an idiot or a traitor. We really need to pull back on that so we don't come apart at the seams. We're all in it together. Brian
