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.

Some of us were against that in the 90's.

I was one of them.

Note that, to my knowledge, the Felon hasn't revoked their MFN status. That should have been day-one. I think POTUS can revoke it without permission from Congress (but I might be mistaken).

No authoritarian state should enjoy MFN status, and we should have been restricting trade with them since at least Nixon (who "went to China", famously).

I have no problem if the Chinese reform their systems, stop using slave labor, and have free elections. Until then, I'd favor a complete embargo, and would have since at least the 90s.
