Honestly I can’t even be too upset. It’s been a long time coming, personally I wish we’d embargo them for the genocide of the Uyghur peoples. Also would it even be worth salvaging? The CCP just sees us as a rival.
Interesting to see how this plays out. Ironically, I think democrats may be better off if he isn't convicted because I think Biden has a better chance against Trump than he does against DeSantis.
I for one hope we normalize relations with a genocidal, authorization, communist regime. Never again right! Unless we get cheap products then never mind
It's good to be better terms with China though, since no one benefits from a war. That being said, I don't know how this can be recovered since the two countries have such diametrically opposed beliefs, particularly with regards to Taiwan.
Well I’m not saying start WW3, I just think it’s a better idea to not have them be major trading partner and financially prop up the regime.
I’d imagine if Nixon never normalized relations and later presidents didn’t promote trade with them they’d still be a backwater and it wouldn’t even be feasible for them to attempt to take Taiwan.
Too many people want to be here, so prices get pushed up. More units is the only real solution. Maybe build, subsidize or encourage high density residential? Even the bare lots are crazy expensive in the cities, so cheap housing would need to fit a lot of people per square foot.
Loosening zoning laws would help in some places (cough cough bay area).
You're probably right, and that's probably the best step we could take here in CA. Unfortunately, it's very challenging to implement from a political standpoint, as high density housing projects and loosening zoning laws are very politically unpopular items, so it would be hard to get passed. Plus, the people who are currently here benefit the most from high housing prices (since it makes their properties super valuable), so they'll obviously fight against any proposals that could meaningfully lower housing costs.
Personally I think CA needs something like building a bunch of cheap housing units outside a city’s limits and providing them with a social worker and public transportation for several months as they fiscally get back on their feet and battle any illness or addiction they have. Something reminiscent of Utah’s policies
I have a sneaking suspicion that the pedo elites of our country are just going to cover everything up best they can and try not to persecute anyone including those corrupt officials
