trading down

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Tell Congress: No corporate giveaways in new NAFTA

Tell Congress:

"Demand that any NAFTA replacement fully end ongoing job loss and environmental destruction. Only support a plan that eliminates the investor-state dispute settlement system, includes strong and enforceable labor and environmental standards, requires all imports to meet the strongest domestic safety standards, reinforces Buy American and Buy Local policies, and removes rules that drive up drug prices by allowing pharmaceutical monopolies."

there's a billboard in Clemson that says trump will fix all drug and health care problems.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

Are there a bunch of people rolling around on the ground laughing so hard they piss their pants in front of it?

Tell Congress: Vote NO on NAFTA 2.0

Petition to Congress:

We urge you to vote NO on the USMCA, which is the new version of NAFTA that includes huge loopholes for corporate polluters, doesn't include key environmental provisions, and will undermine the work to address the climate crisis.

Not so much trading down, possibly trading up, but it is trump trade, so rather than start a new thread ...

"The department's online tariff tracker hosted a detailed list of goods the two nations apparently traded, including ducks, donkeys and dairy cows"

"The unusual listing was spotted by Francis Tseng, a New York-based software engineer who was looking up agricultural tariffs for a fellowship he was applying for."
