The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So who knows.

Lenin? Words to the effect "when it comes time to hang all the capitalists, they will sell us the rope".

All the US "JCs" could see in China was profits. Profits from selling to a big population, and profits from access to cheap labor (as Friedman provided philosophical cover for). They would agree to anything, because MONEY.

So, after years of the US, and other western countries, allowing vast amounts of rope to be sold, China is ready to challenge USian hegemony.

iirc, it was August of 2019, that Trump urged US companies to get their supply chains out of China. I had no problem with that ask then. I have no problem with that ask now. Because every dollar we send over there, is another length of rope.
