U.S. stock futures dived Friday after China announced retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion in U.S. goods and reinstated levies on American auto products.
The levies will range from 5 to 10 percent and will be put in place in two rounds, on Sept. 1 and Dec. 15 -- the same dates on which President Trump's latest tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese goods are slated to take effect, the Chinese finance ministry said in a statement. A 25 percent tariff on automobiles and a 5 percent tariff on auto parts will go into effect on Dec. 15.
"China's imposition of tariffs is a forced response to the unilateralism and trade protectionism of the United States," said the Communist Party-run Global Times. The outlet said it hoped the trade conflict would be resolved "on the premise of mutual respect and equality and trustworthiness in words and deeds.
Dow Jones industrial average futures, which had been predicting a 100-point gain at markets' open, sank immediately following the announcement of China's retaliation and now point to a 150-point loss.

Great Trump RECESSION right on schedule

Any suggestions on how to address China's Trade Practices?
And, more importantly, how to respond to China becoming the Global Leader in Technology. (China being an Ethnostate ruled by a One-Party Authoritarian Government)

D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

Yes. That is understandable.
In my case, it was personal. As you may know (or may not know), Jack is very sensitive, a fragile being, not used to being 'beat up by Forum Thugs' (namely Dark Soul).
But (inhaling deeply ... then exhaling) I think I've found the 'missing piece' to this very complex 'jigsaw'.
I've had to go to the JPP Historical Vault for some, mmmm, let's say 'Legal Entanglements', and in the process I've found some information that brings this thing to a Conclusion.
Dark Soul has been angry at Jack from the get-go. Jack refused to believe Dark Soul was an 'Engineer'. DS pounded on Jack relentlessly, until finally reaching, in his words, his "Greatest Victory" (by getting Jack banned for 30 days). Naturally, Jack was appalled, saddened, horrified, and perplexed. Then: 'Enlightenment'.
As I sifted through the mountains of JPP Historical Documents, I found:
1.) Documentation that Dark Soul had graduated from Trump University with a 'Degree' in Engineering.
2.) Two checks, each for $6,000. for '6 months of Training'.
3.) Pictures of Dark Soul standing next to a life-size cut out of Donald Trump.
a. One picture of DS holding his Degree up with "I'm an Engineer Now".
b. One picture of DS with his arm around the cut-out as though they were Best Friends.
c. One picture of DS jumping in the air holding both hands up as if he had won the Lottery.
4.) Information that this 'Degree' allowed him to 'Practice' in North Carolina, and I think one other State. (Mississippi?)
Anyway, the Lesson learned here ... DON'T question DS on his 'Engineering Degree'. This will only lead you into trouble. (I can attest to THAT first hand)

It might well be worth noting HERE that his twitter trade against his own FED, throwing Xi into that insult, now Xi's tariff announcement, the market tanking and all the RESPONSES to all the above AS TRUMP JETS to FRANCE for the G7 summit. Holy shit!
GIRD YOUR LOINS LEADERS of the G7, Trump is on the way. And he is going to be in one big fat MISERABLE PISSY ASS MOOD!

It's looking like this trade war was a VERY bad idea.
