Hunter Biden is Joe Biden's son by the way. For the benefit of those who have never heard of him before, because why would you have until CNN broke this news story in a worldwide exclusive?
LOL i did find it amusing that BBC also broke it today.
They're in for a shock if they think their urban cities are going to survive the apocalypse. Just because you're in the service sector, you think you're safe? You think only manufacturing jobs get outsourced to China? Lol keep telling yourselves that. The west is history.
1996:
Hard working american citizens produce goods in the rural areas, adding value to their economy, smart americans in cities provide financial services to invest that value.
Few years later:
No more goods are produced in the country, so more Americans are forced to become smart and enter the service based economies
Few years later:
Financial institutions don't want these rednecks moving in on their turf, so lobby governments to invent a bunch of rules and legal barriers and racist recruitment policies to keep competitors out of the market
Few years later:
Americans have to go work for the corporates in a cubicle, believing they're smart
Head check:
Just because more Americans are migrating into cities to provide financial services, doesn't mean the demand for financial services went up. What gives, what created all these new service and IT jobs out of thin air?
Answer:
They are providing services to the people providing services to the people providing services to the people providing the original financial and IT services. No extra demand or value has been added. Everyone is just inventing fake services to justify the need for a "job".
A few years later:
The amount of regulations is absurd. Each regulations requires a new job that produces nothing, serves nothing, and is just an excuse for one more dumb redkneck to pay their university tuition fees, get a piece of paper to say they're smart, and move to the city to provide a service to the guy who provides the service
Head check:
Oh shit, the US economy is a pyramid scheme.
Big D:
This has to stop
Election happens:
Restart the pyramid scheme
A few years later:
China enters the chat. Game over. We'll take those financial and IT service jobs thank you very much, you can keep the rest of your consultancy and auditor and regulation and compliance and HR stuff.
America is now an economy that actually produces nothing, no products, no services, then it's anyone's guess what happens. Universal basic income provide by the CCP based on each citizens social credit tally would be my guess. Bread and water rations. Rat burgers. Fun times.
Haha hardly prescient. Western financial institutions have been here for 20 years (many are the RE presentations I've given to those twats) and always edging towards 100% ownership. It was only a matter of time.Yet another dantes was right after all shocker, to add to the long long list of others.

A bit of googling and there is no risk. This Chinese business even 100% owned by goldman represents 0.002% of their global revenue
Of course ... and for those Western institutions to make huge profits most of which they will repatriate (yes, the Chinese Govt. do deals with MNCs to permit this).I know that. You will also know then that the purpose of ownership is not for western institutions to "compete in chinese markets", it's for the chinese communist party to bring western investors to them. Other people a month ago didn't seem to know that when typing words to the effect of "you're wrong, you conspiracy theorising brainwashed cunt".

What does it matter where the money ends up? The Dow is at an all time high, the FTSE was before this mess, but you've still got millions of people needing to do three jobs just to pay the bills and millions more on the streets. The economy should not be measured by numbers on a screen at Goldman when it has zero reflection on the health of a nation.
The Parler crowd are convinced that the new Texas case that's gone to the Supreme Court is the one that will give Trump his re-election.
The State of Texas is suing Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for ‘Election Irregularities’.
It's been brought by Texas AG Ken Paxton. I'm sure it's nothing to do with him being investigated for securities fraud and probably going to prison for the rest of his natural. Unless of course he was given a presidential pardon...
Supreme Court should be dealing with it Thursday.
It's all pointless. There is nothing in the legislation that permits a state to sue another state (in fact it specifically says they must first try mediation and then lodge an appeal to the Supreme Court for intervention - but still they cannot sue for the disqualification of 20 million votes).This Texas case at the Supreme Court is turning into a real shit show.
Yesterday Trump "intervened" and got 17 Republican state attorney generals to add their support to the case.
Today 23 Democrat states have filed to the Supreme Court to oppose the Trump intervention.
The opposition brief criticises the one in a quadrillion expert report and lmao they have no clue why that number is mathematically wrong. So you have one fucking moron academic presenting a dumbass number to the court. Then you have other dumbass academics using stupid arguments that are themselves wrong for why the number is wrong.
And you wonder why I refer to myself as the best god damn lawyer in the city.

It's just another Trump shit-show for the Trumpsters. This will be done within 2 days.
