The “China was ripping us off” is such a gaslight

US policymakers intentionally designed a system where we could get cheap stuff and labor from China to reduce inflation and costs of living here in America

The CCP has happy to play its part but this was intentional

We aren’t a victim here, we got to buy unlimited stuff with debt issuance with China as the factory with lower wages that we could possibly have here

Take China away and we have crazy inflation after the Great Financial Crisis

Today the system is wobbling, and needs some kind of reset, but don’t let them fool you into thinking we were getting “ripped off”
