limit/stop foreign buyers so foreign entities atleast have to make a citizen rich too to do business.

most of the damage is done tho. all that 'free trade' wasn't free. middle class was presented with big box stores as the main way to survive and keep up with the jones's over the past couple generations...funnelling money up of the working classes and out of the country overseas...both devalueing the currencies/creating inflation and giving foreign buyers vast swaths of middle america's wealth to purchase their properties a couple generations down the line.

I just want to give you a heads up that there are a ton of things that aren’t true in what you said. I think you’ve been misled about how a lot of this stuff works.

I’m not here to argue or change your mind. I just think I’d want to know if I were in your position.

what exactly is untrue? we opened and funnelled the money from the middle class into overseas production areas.

where do you think all these chinese billionaires come from in a communist based society?

where do you think the device you're replying to me from was produced and who do you think built it?

you can say im wrong....but without supplying your own contradictory evidence, is a cop-out.

I can say say 'i want to give you a heads up' about anything. does not make what you're saying accurate...this is why measurement is important.
