åndêrš, is that true about Chia doing a free trade agreement with Souotheast Asia? That's what the USA should have done. Any economic agreement the USA enters into should be done with a people/country who look up to the USA/"Anglos" and not with those that thumb their noses at the USA as the Hispanick world does. I saw we should enter into labor relationships with the English speaking countries/territories of the Caribbean, like the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Trinidad, barbados......
It's so sad but true, the conspiracy theorists take advantage of people's ignorance.
WHY DON'T THESE PEOPLE CRACK OPEN AN ECONOMICS TEXT BOOK AND THEN DRAW SOME CONCLUSIONS?
It's frustrating to see the populists talk and the stupid masses listen.
The reason the anti-immigrant/anti-hispanic crows paired with the anti-globabilization crowd is simple: they both prey on fear and ignorance.
People are ready to fear competition because of their instinctive cave-man days when competition meant a group of people with different genes to kill or be killed by (as early political scientist thomas hobbes would put it, "a state of nature is a state of war, and such a war as is of every man against every man").
How will the people resist these predators who want them to forget that we live in a modern civilization in which people have more to benefit from cooperation... I'm not holding my breath with the state of public education as poor as it is...
Don Andres do not give advise to North America, as an Argentinian go there to work for a Latin America free trade and integration agreement. Forget about us.
