    We already know that. Have for a long time.

    But our body, our choice. America can masturbate itself with its tariffs.

      I’d like to make it clear as an American that I’ve thought US policy has been extremely wrongheaded for a while now. But at the same time, China is going to exert just as much - if not more - leverage in the long run, as compared to the US.

        It’s not the leverage, we get leverage either way. We are too tied to the US economy and all signs point to an idiot in charge of it. And we already got fucked by Trump tariffs.

        Usually American, but this is the second time the sole fell off so if reliable licking is your goal one should expand their palate.
