Police states have a hard time with free markets, free trade, free societies, free international relations.

The writing has been on the wall for many years and a major shakeup of some sort is almost inevitable. It is simply a matter of time. The society is fragmented at myriad levels (ethnic, regional, rural/urban, former party and reformer, rulers and ruled, free market advocates vs statists, etc.) and the level of anomie within the society is (based on what I observe) higher even than in Russia. The gap between haves and have nots has grown massive, and there are droves of disadvantaged, down-and-out rural migrants/peasants. You'll note the pattern Xi followed for about the first two or three years of his reign: "anti-corruption" operations, meaning, "Toe the line and follow my lead or your 'corruption' might lead to you spending the next 10 years in prison . . ." There are a lot of disaffected if not disenfranchised former or current "officials" in the country, so plenty of primer, plenty of charge, all it needs really is a spark.

Photos: ‘Just Like 2016!’ MASSIVE LINES for President Trump Rally in Las Vegas

Quote:

Photos posted online from Las Vegas show a massive turnout for President’s Trump’s campaign rally being held Thursday night at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The half-mile-plus lines in the 95 degree heat are reminiscent of the huge crowds that turned out in 2015-2016 for Trump’s presidential campaign rallies.

Trump has vowed to campaign heavily for the coming election. The guy is a machine. At one point in the Presidential campaign he was attending 3 events per day.

Looking forward to seeing all the folks lined up to listen to B. Obama.

Joe's first rule of negotiation is "You can't negotiate if you can't walk away" ...

So ... "forgetaboutit" ... was ... WALKING AWAY ... and I guess it worked ... because now we read ..

Quote:

The United States and Canada confirmed Sunday they had reached a deal on a "new, modernized trade agreement," which is designed to replace the 1994 NAFTA pact.

In a joint statement the two nations said the new deal would be called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said following a cabinet meeting, "It's a good day for Canada."

Trudeau plans to address the media on the deal on Monday.

President Trump tweeted about the deal on Monday morning, calling it a "great deal for all three countries" and that it will open markets to farmers and manufacturers.

Of course, we need to see the details .. but USMC-A ... sounds better at least !!

Trump gained concessions on percentage of "North American content' on cars imported to the US without tariff and on minimum wages of $16 an hour and union rights (on car production). This is directed at mexican auto assembly plants. That is more that the President of mexico makes. :lol:

The big Canadian concession was on American dairy products imported to canada
