Folks,
I have mentioned salt as an example of excess government control. In history almost all countries controlled salt to keep the people locked down. USA was one of the first to have free trade in salt, aprt of what made us great and free.
Mahatma Gandhi was no real threat to the British until he marched to the sea and picked up a piece of salt, the beginning of the end of British colonialism. Gandhi figured out how to break the British hold.
Well it seems, as part of the ongoing democrat and republican project to degenerate USA into a 3rd world country, USA govt control of salt is being recommended.

Let us see: a strong-man president, torture (now at the street level with the taser), massive warrantless spying, constant wars, suspension of habeas corpus, and let's control salt too.
The only entity left resisting is those with their own businesses, doing good while doing well.

China Trade Flows
Folks,
As I have mentioned, China was supposed to enslave itself to the USA consumer by taking dollars and making us consumer goods. This would also keep a check on the official inflation
figures in USA, since we would be exporting it it China.
Instead, the Chinese are unloading those dollars in places like Africa, and laying down trade lanes that flow between China and Africa. And now inflation is kicking in here in USA.

The USA leadership is playing a zero-sum game in its policies, so other countries are welcoming China's initiatives. No matter what happens to Larry Lunchbucket in USA, it will still be private jets and red carpets for USA big shots as they travel around the world, just as it is for any third world kleptocratic leader. The results of USA policies make no difference to
USA leaders.
One reason the best and the brightest have flocked to USA in the last century is because it was so easy to do business here. These shifts worldwide in trade patterns will make it harder.
