Trade agreements
I watched a report on MSNBC earlier today that blew my mind.
It focused on a port in California that handles 40 percent of our import and export shipments to and from China. First item of surprise: 60 percent of the containers loaded with merchandise imported from China are returned to China ... empty. But the biggest surprise is what we are exporting *to* China in huge qualities. Trash. The report showed mountains of recyclable plastic bottles, cardboard, scrap metal and other trash items that are loaded up and set to China. China's workers recycle it, making insulated clothing items from the plastic bottles and cardboard and items like smartphones from the scrap aluminum and metals, then ship them back to the USA for sale back to us. |
