Indeed, you can. Or you can buy the poorer quality, but more heavily advertised, product that is marketed so that it looks like it was manufactured by "American manufactured workers [sic]", and which has the "backing" of some person whose self-love and financial voraciousness are well known to all (and which costs much more than it is actually worth).
Indeed, and that is why Mr Trump was so successful in stopping the spread of COVID-19 in the United States of America by his well-timed and sagacious responses to the advice of the medical and epidemiological experts.
Yes, I'm sure that you really and truly do believe that the Chinese government deliberately developed and then unleashed COVID-19 on the world.
Which still doesn't say that any Operation Warp Speed money went into developing the first (and most successful) of the vaccines. But, then again, you do like to totally ignore what the companies themselves said.
You do realize that "advance purchase" and "advance payment" don't mean the same thing, don't you?
Maybe this will help you out:
Unfortunately the Chinese didn't have the advantage of an unspoiled continent that was populated only by a nuisance population that could be killed off or ignored that the United States of America had.
As I understand Wal*Mart's position on that is that they do not support increasing corporate taxes, but that, if it is in the best interests of the nation as a whole then they will support a modest increase in corporate taxes. Of course, that would also mean that "it would be necessary to adjust corporate pricing policies slightly so as to ensure that the investors which have helped to make Wal*Mart into such a resounding corporate success and role-model for successful merchandising will continue to receive the benefits that they are entitled to for investing in and supporting a great, patriotic, American, company." (read as "We're going to crank up the shelf prices so that we recoup 125% of the increased costs.").
I would like to think you are aware that America is loaded with farms that provide most of our food, and most of the food we inport does not come from China.
You do not speak for Costco.
Alot of produce obviously. However Mexico is not the only nation that grows and exports produce.
Just the largest of produce importers.
Those "some Americans" (when you include "dealing indirectly through false-front proxies") included Ford Motors, General Motors, IBM, AT&T, and just about every other major US company with an "international presence".
You appear to have missed the realtrueactual point.
Indeed, and being shot with a .15 cal bullet is being shot with "the same type of bullet" as being shot with a .75 cal bullet.
That really does sort of depend on what your definition of "unAmerican" is, doesn't it? I mean if your definition of "unAmerican" is "anyone or anything that does not mindlessly agree with whatever Donald John Trump {PBUH} says today (regardless of what he said yesterday)" then, well, you know ...
Actually, under international law and international treaties to which the US is a signatory, it isn't.
I guess in countries with good leaders the virus didn't spread. Unbelievable. First the lies about OWS and when proven wrong just start another one. Your bias hate for Trump has blinded you into just making things up.
Again more lies about what I believe. Unbelievable. Do you ever stop with the lies. I never said the Chinese government developed and unleashed covid19. Quit just making things up already.
Pfizer was definitely upset with Trump getting every manufacturer making a vaccine. Pfizer was hoping to be the only one who developed a vaccine using the pandemic to line their pockets with gold. Trump was making sure if the Pfizer vaccine did not pan out other manufacturers would be well under way developing alternative types of vaccines. Plus with every company working at warp speed with plenty of money Trump knew we would not only have a vaccine but several bringing this pandemic under control which is exactly what happened. I for one was very thankful for the Moderna vaccine because Pfizer could not produce enough for everyone and people were dying. So yes Trump making money available to get every manufacturer involved in creating a vaccine, the production of a the vaccine, the streamlining of testing by removing red tape, and by purchasing those vaccines Trump did what was needed most to stop the pandemic. That is the facts whether you like it or not.
Are you ever going to give up. Trump did everything he could do to make a vaccine available as soon as possible despite the lies by the left.
Might I suggest that your most valuable contribution towards solving the crisis would be for you to travel to Quebec and patrol the Canada/US border, on foot, yourself.
It's difficult because when people get their bill for their imported widget it says
How DARE you contradict Donald John Trump {PBUH}!
Yep. And tariffs are only "legally allowed" on ECONOMIC grounds.
Indeed, they aren't - unfortunately not a one of them is an "economic" ground sufficient to permit "tariffs".
Why not simply ban all Mexico-US traffic totally? That wouldn't stop Americans from going TO Mexico (they just couldn't travel FROM Mexico directly to the United States of America in order to return.
Because it is a basic tenet of MAGAdom that
In countries with good leadership the impact of COVID-19 was proportionately a lot less than it was in countries with poor leadership.
I don't "hate" Mr Trump I just feel sorry for those Americans who were intelligent enough to see through his lies and propaganda for having to suffer through another round of his narcissistic, uninformed, ignorant, and vengeance seeking administration
Your "defence" smacks of your usual "Now, don't get me wrong, because some of my best friends are _[insert derogatory ethnic, racial, religious term here]_, BUT ..."ism.
So what?
Quite right. Not a single pharmaceutical company in the world was working on developing a vaccine and no other country's government was supporting those (non-existent) research efforts.
Yes, I do know that that is the officially approved, official version, of the truth as revealed by Donald John Trump {PBUH}.
I do not have the figures for Costco however I just read an article quoting the CFO of Walmart. It appears that two thirds of what is sold at Walmart is not at risk of tarrifs as that percentage is grown or assembled in the US. Walmart is also expanding it's supply chain by sourcing from other countries to lessen it's reliance on China. Works for me. If walmart is doing that, I assume Costco is smart enough to do the same.
Much ado about almost nothing. According to the Walmart CFO to thirds of all items sold at Walmart are not under threat of tarrifs as they are grown or produced in the US. Amd Walmart is also sourcing other nations in order to become less reliant on China.
Ok, but your post responding to mine didn’t respond to my points. Sorry if I misunderstand you, but what is it with Trump and tariffs? Last biggies were Smoot-Hawley and hurt rather than helped.
