But who was shell fish and beer? Got some solid crab in Maryland. No matter where you go in the country we have something to look forward to. No joke.

Had a half bushel leftover from a family picnic. Invited the boyos over for GOAT crabs and finest craft beer ever made.

NATO funding has been slacking, that much is true. But you're spending 57% of your GDP on the military and that's not including the additional 4% spent on Veterans. Now compare that to Agri-Food, farmers get 1% of the GDP given back to them. It's shameful.

America could be so great, honestly - incomparable - if you adopted EU like worker and consumer rights. The corporations are sucking the people of America dry and your politicians make you believe they're what's good for you. Some people are working 6-day work weeks and on phone/e-mail on their day off. No maternity leave. No healthcare or free university. Bad public transport. You don't realise how much you're getting shafted.

If you got social healthcare and true workers union power - nobody would be able to match America.

The U.S. government had zero public support for entering WW2 even to save the U.K. That changed when they were themselves attacked by Japan and taken by surprise followed by Germany declaring war on the U.S. That's when in combination with the UK and the Soviets went after the Axis powers.

If you want the same quality of life as the EU, adopt more socialist policies. That's where the quality of life comes from - they get taxed a lot more but get social benefits in exchange like free healthcare, free university, four day work weeks etc.

You're being shafted by the employers and the corporations who don't even let a new mother take maternity leave yet you shovel money into their greedy coffers continually. You elected a President who spent a lifetime ripping average people off.

Trade war costs China its stock market ranking

The trade war between the U.S. and China has had one major effect – losses in Chinese equities have taken their cumulative value down to $6.09 trillion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, below the $6.17 trillion value of Japanese equities.

China’s stock market overtook Japan’s in 2014. The U.S. has the world’s most highly valued stock market, worth a little more than $31 trillion.

China and the U.S. have been engaged in a tit-for-tat trade war since the spring, and this is pressuring Chinese stocks as well as the country’s currency. Relatively, U.S. equities have been more resilient.

China’s Shanghai Composite index is down over 17%, year to date, with domestic stocks taking a hit amid trade tensions with the U.S. Japan’s Nikkei 25 index is down about 1%. Stateside, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up almost 15%.

The Chinese government stepped in to boost the economy by increasing lending after equities slipped as the trade war heated up.
