Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Rich libs bought more stuff online, plus inflation, plus $$ being spent on Dunton Street in Arl. Hts. instead of downtown, and BAM! More tax revenue. This isn’t rocket science. Every discretionary tax dollar not spent downtown is probably spent in downtown Arl. Hts. I know that I spent a lot of $$$ locally now that in other years would have been spent in the city.
