Enviromental Impact Studies are Slamming Breaks on Economy

I'm well aware of insanity of these "studies", that have nothing to do with the clean air or water:

This the same economy growing at over 3%, higher than any other in the world by a mile?

[audiophile]

Not true. China is 2-3 times that rate.

Chinas last year was 5.2%.. this year it’s expected to be 4.8%. It hasn’t been up near 10% in a long time. They are becoming a developed economy. This is the fallacy about GDP… people think it can be 7 or 8 or 9% forever… it doesn’t work that way. Once you’re developed you’re maintaining what you have because there isn’t a need for all that stuff from when it was higher. You’ve developed it already.

We were at a pretty good 2.5% last year and it should be higher this year.

You know what will make them an even better economy? Tariffs. No better way to shrink GDP.

Wrong. There no is GDP on product you don't make here.

Why is fair that Chinese can sell their cheaply made, deflated-currency goods here, without paying property taxes, income taxes, or wages to employees?

Meanwhile USA products must pay these taxes, without the currency manipulation, and can no longer compete.

Tariff's equalize the tax burden and currency manipulation, and eventually rebirth's USA manufacturing.

You can't make anything here if you have no money to build shit.

In the intervening 5-10 years your spatula went from .99 to $15. No thanks.

It won't go to $15, as that would be 1500% tariff. Besides, nobody sells for $99 cents! The Chinese make such bad junk, full of harmful compounds, and wears out much faster, so the real savings is not there after transport costs.

It's like putting together Chinese particle-board furniture - nightmare assembly, and it will warp and fall apart 3x faster than decent made local products.

Remember those Chinese guys are laughing at you for buying their junk:

It’s an exaggeration. But maybe not… you’re gonna pay a worker here 15 times as much to assemble it. Doing blanket tariffs like that will cause something like 20% inflation. It’s a terrible idea.

I think you mean Brakes, not Breaks.
