I think the thing is people probably thought globalisation would 'trickle down' to the masses.

You could argue, many would, it has worked a treat. We live in unimaginable luxury compared to our parents and our grandparents would assume we're all worth several million dollars each. I grew up in a one car family, one TV, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house. Now 2 cars, 4 TVs, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an ensuite, a media room and a giant kitchen are standard.

The problem is it's (globalisation) gone too far, IMO, and needs a handbrake put on. Just about every measure shows the wealth inequality gap is growing. I think that's got a lot to do with it.

I'd love to grab the CEO of Woolies or Coles and say to him are you happy that children are going hungry because parents can't buy decent food because you're the most profitable supermarkets in the world?

Of course they'd just say 'we have a responsibility to our shareholders'.

And they're right, they do.

Tell me about it with supermarket CEOs!

Had a student is a class recently say that many service business were residence of the progressional. Say our grocer or landlord for a pub. They weren't hell bent on profit but rather sustained their own family while selling a good to the community. Now the greedy fucks have their hands on everything we consume.

In the 90s we had a range of choice but with the closure of the small business, we stuffed.

My Turkish market in Hannover have the same packing and branding as the supermarket for a fraction of the price. You'd be amazed how cheap wholesale actually can be.

Just like our kits in the other thread.

Of course discussion about 3rd world production etc is a whole other thing.

Yeah it's a big thing too.

The reason you can by $8 jeans from Kmart is because someone, somewhere is being exploited,

I love how these maga dopes have gone from saying less government to cheering on government controlling trade lol

And the best is they’re all complaining about the current capitalist system but are cheering on the proponents of it

If I didn’t know any better I’d think they were a bunch of communists at heart

It's even more weird that it was the US that largely built the global trade system to start with.

And a lot of these trade agreements were signed by Trump. The one with Canada in particular that the stupid bastard said was terrible. He fucking signed it.

Wait until you read about the swifty Elon pulled when he sold X to XAi (from himself to himself) and why he copped an $11 billion 'loss'.

Much of this is coming from Trump's team because there was a congressman who was saying Tesla is Chinese made and shit quality.

Can't have happened to a shitter bloke.

Also, what is Trump on about 'money pouring into America'? The tariffs are paid by Americans. What's he on about?

Well "tariffs" as a soundbite is a lot easier for the rightards to digest than "import tax" Things are moving as expected in the US, we just have to hold back and wait for the inevitable bullet... I just wonder which side it will come from this time? Sadly we wont have another Trump around to release the "truth" after the assassination commission report.....

Meanwhile Florida has found the answer to their labour shortages.... no illegal migrants, no problem .... they have teenagers.....lol

Not just any teenagers, 14 year old teenagers.

Regulations are for 'libtards'.

Fuck me dead. They’d have kids in coal mines if they could.

Look how out of control this will get. They’ll have kids doing night shifts if they don’t nip it early
