Just a few days ago this Japanese guy announced that Goertek and other suppliers to Apple are leaving China. Now he got canned. It is obvious that Goertek doesn't want the spotlight and as an Executive this Japanese guy has low EQ and got easily manipulated by Bloomberg for saying things that shouldn't be said out loud.

He worked in Goertek? lmao
It seems that Japan's anti-China paranoia is a mental illness

Exactly, they are in dilemma. They accept job losses and a cooler economy for a few years or inflation could become a permanent feature of the US economy. Maybe I am wrong but if the FED doesn't find a way to undo their excesses then permanent higher inflation could make the US economy behave more like Latin America economies were high consumer inflation and diminishing purchasing power is a feature.
But unlike Latin America, interest rates going up is even more crippling due to the high debt load, both public and private, which went to asset purchases in some cases but I many was wasted. And they can't default as most of their debt is held by their own citizens as they are so fond of saying.

That's the dilemma: high inflation can eliminate debt, but cripples the consumer -> collapse in spending -> collapse. Reducing inflation with high interest leads to inability to service the debt -> collapse in lending activity and thus economic activity and even higher future interest rates -> collapse.

That's the stagflation hyperinflation trap that happens when you have too much debt and try to inflate it away.

Many people were writing about this. Invading Mexico is not a fringe idea among Republicans at all. It really isn't. A lot of Republican politicians post Tweets about it commonly and they get a lot of likes. Immigration, cartels and drugs are all blamed on Mexico. If Republicans win in 2024, the invasion of Mexico will become a real possibility.
Ngl this is the one time the MIC's warmongering is pretty based. They really do need to get the US into mother of all quagmires that will bring down the country. We can call it "the Mutt trap" in homage to what they called the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

They're really in for a nasty surprise if they think fighting cartels with hundreds of billions a year in revenue (even without Chinese support) and millions of members will go anything like fighting cavedwelling Iraqi & Afghan mujahideen who got by on scraps. And even then they lost lol

Let's hope they succeed, and this becomes a full-blown land war in North America. The air force and navy are getting almost all the budget benefits for the war with China, and the army is being left out of the pig trough. A land war with Mexico would be a quick and easy way to make sure the army also gets sweet cash ad infinitum.
