"Ambassadors"

[4est_4est_Gump]

The USA would be in deep shit if every country in the world decided only to buy their own country's products.

Airline passengers would be flying in some very strange aircraft. Would you fly in an airplane 'Made in Sierra Leone'?

We would all be in deep shit economically.

True. The US economy is still the driving force for most of the world.

True. The US economy is still the driving force for most of the world.

I sort of wish it wasn't, but it is easily observed that we have a new political class that is hell-bent on drifting towards the economic models of the rest of the world, so who knows? It's probably only a matter of time before we rectify that "sad" condition and level the playing field through redistributive thought and action.

What about your computer including it's components? Light bulbs? Television set? Your telephone, clothing? The cloth used in your clothing? The pens you write with, the shoes you wear, the fruit and veg you eat in the winter?
Nothing in your income generation is from outside the US?

I don't need a computer.
Got a supply of light bulbs but don't use many.
Can do without TV.
Threw my cell phone in the trash last year.
I grow most of the fruit and vegetables I eat, even during the winter.

So, no phone and no computer. How exactly are you posting on Lit, telepathy?

grow your own cotton and weave your own cloth, do you? or sheep for wool, flax?

Major US Ambassador appointments have always been a reward for supporting the 'correct' political party.

Exactly! That's how the former Florida Secretary of State became Ambassador to Chad.
