but you are not answering my question of 'then what'?
So whatever happened to the recession we were supposed to have in 2019?

You're familiar with the concept of the barbell strategy, yes?
no
Oh, I see. That is what you respond with, after our back and forth, and where you posed this...
"you need co-op, others like China won't play this way, they want to dominate you... then what..."
All you need are the launch codes.
There. That is what.
Geez.
(@BlueWaterSailor Headphone pron for you on the bass.

Also known as the hedgehog policy.
Be civil and pleasant to everyone; work well with others; contribute to the common effort. And stab them in the face with a broken beer bottle if they screw you over. Tends to promote peaceful cooperation, and teach the survivors (as well as instruct future generations) not to break the peace.
(Not saying that this is my own policy... but then, I'm not saying it's not, either.
)One thing I've noticed at hunting workshops - where you can pretty well assume that everyone, or at least most people in the room are armed - is that everyone is pleasant and friendly by default. We humans do fairly well when power relationships are reasonably balanced and distributed.

not sure how it relates to what we are talking about?
Are we being a bit slow, dozu? You asked for how we get along with China when they don't want to cooperate. For a guy who claims to be as brilliant as you are at interpreting the story behind the story - what with "your boys" and all - you missed a very soft pitch indeed.
it's better just to get to the point.
in terms of China, after they joined the WTO they have ignored all the rules and previous admins did nothing about it... if that's what you meant by 'being pleasant'? it didn't bring any results, just filing complaints to the WTO? WTO didn't care.
Trump is doing something, and he is getting it done.
I did. You missed it.
And no, that is not what I meant by being pleasant. The term "barbell" implies having all the weight at the ends - not in the middle.
Your swings and misses keep getting worse, wider, and wilder, so there's not much more that I want to say to you. Ta.
so what DID you mean by pleasant.... you don't get extra street credit by sounding cryptic.. get to your point, or if you don't have a point, keep mouth shut.
Tantallum. Can't trade that on the CME.
