F. I'm trying to buy solar panels right now and China has some good ones.

The real question is, what percentage of the product that they export is purchased by Americans? Because if that percentage is really low, it turns this into performance politics. Especially the one-upping of Trump's economic war on China. The problem there of course being that it won't make any difference; Biden's never going to win over a Republican. What he needs to do is lean into the left harder so that he ensures a higher turnout. But he's not going to, he'd rather stay his old-ass course, and risk plunging our country into a tyrannical totalitarian nightmare. I mean a worse one than it already is. You should be worried more about inflation, women's rights, and not feeding weapons to Israel. But our country has an insane "Christian" hard-on for Israel so that's not going to happen.

And by inflation I'm referring to everyday household products and food, not the stock market. People don't care how good the stock market is doing when not only do they not have a direct stake in it, but even basics like food cost too goddamn much.
