Steve’s Barking; Google is unfair to me

I generally have 10 or less readers to the postings on my blog.
It can’t be me even though I don’t advertise my blog or blow my horn to get people to read my blog.So it must be Google who is suppressing my blog.
I’l just have to call myself a conservative so I can be part of the bullying to get my crazy ideas in front of the line to be front of the line to be read.
Algorithms be damned.

Steve’s Barking; Trade deal with Mexico or a nothing burger

Trumps trade deal seems to be a nothing burger for the U.S.
 Mexican  Auto workers get a huge raise. Some Auto workers in the U.S. get a small raise.
Because factories are already built in Mexico those factories are more modern then most in the states, and it would be impractical to move the manufacturing to the States, zero sum gain.
The price of autos will probably cost more. Because the cost of the car goes up, it would seem that less cars will be sold. It would also seem it the cost of big ticket  items might stay the same profits go down.
There’s been no report that the steel tariffs are off, another cost that make car more expensive making it harder for the average American to buy a car.
Now don’t get me wrong I love it that all Auto works get  decent money, but it’s no great shakes for U.S. Auto workers. Doesn’t help American business, so I’m  wondering  what good is it?

Steve’s Barking; Maybe American manufacturing isn’t that good?

Because my country has to put a tariff on certain goods such as steel (especially  steel ) in order to protect  manufacturing of those products as if we were a third world country one has to assume that those factories aren’t better at manufacturing then the manufactured product in foreign countries and they might be just be worse.
If a foreign country has to help their manufacturing plants with subsidies and we want to level(?) the playing field go tit for tat after taking the case to WTO.
If a country is  dumping limit the amount of the manufactured goods that the product can’t be beat no matter how good the American product is then limit the amount of that product is allowed into the U.S.
My nose twitching tells that the real case is that those American companies can’t compete on the world stage.
Never thought I would see the day my country couldn’t complete.

Steve’s Barking; Is the United States turning into the 1965 Yankees

In the early 60s the baseball team the New York Yankees were the dominant team and in baseball.
In 1965 their  dominance collapsed. They were last in the league for several years to come.
At the present time the United State is the dominant county in the world.
At the present time the US doesn’t have enough workers for select jobs.
At the present time there is a trade war, which can only help several other countries and the EU.
The United States while the government may look strong, the population is in greater debt,  despite or because of tax cuts.
Product inflation seems to be on the rise.
These are not great signs for America, are they?

Steve’s Barking: Trade war good (?)

There is a patriot feel to America in many places.
Even have the president saying how easy it is to win a trade war.
Just like a real war, there is a joyful feeling, that is until the bodybags start coming in.
The body bags of trade wars are the business that will close and the jobs that will be lost.

Steve’s Barking; Negative 2

While  everybody who knows anything about economics stating that the American economy will  be positive in the range of 2% to 5 %.
Because I’m not everybody I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the economy will be in negative territory even though it’s back to school time.
I base my bias prediction on the fact that the tarrifs will be kicking in and the past quarter there was higher economic activities then normal by companies trying to beat the tarrifs war.

Steve’s Barking; What side of the political bed did you get up on?

There is an expression in America when a person is grumpy, boy did you get up on the wrong side of the bed.
I’m using the expression what side of the political bed did you get up on as a way to describe the good old U S of A shifting political thinking of persons who hold office.
Now most people believe that President Nixon was this conservative President yet he presented ideas that were to the left of JFK, either because he believed that they were right and or he felt that it would
help him stay in office.
Now I do recall reading that  staunch segregationist George Wallace started out as a progressive but when he first ran for officers he was soundly defeated. Good old George Knew which side his bread was buttered on and became the biggest segregationist of Alabama.
What about  Strom Thurmond, fought hard to keep whites and African Americans apart, but fathered an African American girl, paying her mother child support and taking care to of her. Another fraud  politician  who looked after his career over everything else.
What about the founding fathers from Virginia, almost all talked against slavery, and what an abomination it was, and then when it became evident that slaves were worth more then There plantations their slaves stayed slaves.
Do they become different persons when it becomes expedient? Would most of us become different people when it becomes expedient?

Steve’s Barking; Mayor Bring It On

When Mayor Giuliani was Mayor of New York and there was a threat that Al Quida was threatening to attack New York on New Year’s Eve 2000 he said bring it on. Of cause we all know that a little over a year and a half later Al Quida took him up on it.
