yall need to go hide that Ozempic pen
Does this increase or decrease US credibility?
The US has the highest level of debt bondage. Which is considered a form of forced labor according to the UN. Student loans Mortgages, car notes, credit cards all keep Americans one unforseen bill away from the Kill Line. Where as China ensures the basic needs of their citizens and has the highest savings rate around the world. The Chinese can walk away from any job without becoming homeless.
I wonder if “forced Labour” includes incarcerating more of your citizens than any other country & then putting your prison inmates to work for virtually no money?
Mannnn everyone is on Ozempic and Botox now. What the F world do I live in.
If clowns are governing the nation, then let the populace suffer from inflation and transform into the most undesirable country to inhabit in the universe. Ukraine serves as the prime example.
Tariffs are taxes. Add that to the list of broken campaign promises
