    Not throwing anything in your face wizard.. Just stating IMO what your post sounds like.. And what has Ivanka have to do with it.. She is a smart businesswoman that has a clothing line and gets it made to show profit like the rest of the AMERICAN manufacturers >> It is always about the bottom line.. As far as Ivanka? She shut her company down almost two years ago.. Trump has been warning us about China for years.. Maybe you can share that with your liberal friends..

    Ivanka Trump is shutting down her namesake clothing brand because of her work in Washington, she said Tuesday, a rare acknowledgement by a Trump family member about the challenges of holding an influential White House position while owning a global business.

    In doing so, the president’s daughter and White House senior adviser has gone further than other Trump family members, who have remained active in both business and politics. She handed over day-to-day operations after her father won the election but continued to own the company — which raised ethical concerns that have dogged enterprises across the Trump empire.

    But her brand, founded as a carefree fashion and lifestyle brand for young, professional women, has suffered from how polarizing it became during the campaign and her father’s move into the Oval Office, enduring boycotts, lost sales and controversies that saw its goods yanked from retailers' shelves.

      Let's be fair about this. This pandemic isn't Trump's fault. We have had corporate stimulus bailouts in the past (Tarp). Nobody knows how much better or worse it could be handled by the democrats. Hopefully the stimulus money will reach those really in need.............Personally I don't believe that the republicans are as compassionate to the needy as the democrats would be.

      This a little more on it..

      Unions, employers want pension relief included in coronavirus aid talks
      A rescue plan with Democratic support and some large employers is back on the table

      Two of the employer plan measures made it into the law signed by President Donald Trump — language allowing companies to defer pension contributions and suspend benefit restrictions until next year.

      But none of the multi-employer plan provisions made it into the final package, with the White House and Senate Republicans staunchly opposed to what they deemed a “bailout” for unions without putting in place structural changes aimed at preventing insolvency down the road.

      The draft circulated by Senate Democrats during those talks had backing from numerous unions, as well as employers like Bechtel Corp. and trade groups representing engineering and construction-related industries. The coalition sent a letter to congressional leaders April 9 advocating for the hybrid plan with 48 signatories. An updated letter with more supporters is expected soon.

      Unless the government picks up the tab for failing plans, the group argues, companies that remain on the hook for paying into the funds could go under and have no way to preserve benefits promised to millions of retirees as well as their current workforce.

        Ah yes,forgive me,I'd forgotten the magic ingredients...Smart Businesswoman-man-corporation...Profit...Money...Your absolutely right,''Follow the Money'' right to the Bottom line...The fact that ''COMMUNIST'' China has always been a ''Totalitarian'' regime who've ALWAYS had some of the worst human rights abuses in the world doesn't matter at all when it comes to the ''BOTTOM LINE and PROFIT''...'See No Evil' when it comes to PROFIT...And as far Ivanka giving up exploiting cheap labor because it's one hell of a conflict of interest...I say...Good for her!!!!...Maybe she's manufacturing her cloths line in the United States of America with UNION WORKERS!!!!...Maybe...

          With China’s economy on life support, it’s time to turn off the ventilator

          I say we turn off the ventilator.

          This sentiment seems to be even more infectious than the disease itself. A Harris poll released on April 6 found that 77 percent of the US population believes China is to blame for the pandemic. Before this thing has run its course, most of the world’s seven-plus billion people will likely agree as well.

            And what is are's...how many trillion dollars in debt are we now...can't afford National Health Insurance ...but we can afford to ball out the "Rich" (Socialism)..by the way it was the Capitalist who move your job over there..don't blame the Chinese...they just took what the West give them..and when they move out of China they will look at South America or Africa....not America....you cost too much.


            But in reality China and America would do just fine if they would live (economy) within there own means....both Counties have Millions of people living in them (they the rich can live quite well selling products to there own people) problem is "Capitalism" is "greedy" and wants it all...that simple.
