Very true our society is built on social and organisational structures and those who are able to contribute contributing, now we have a situation where many don't want to contribute and adding to that pool is a recipe for disaster.

Illegal immigrants become non taxpaying workers, in a diminishing pool of jobs and is one of the reasons the third world countries don't have first world living standards, their tax systems and structures are different to ours.

As you keep saying Mo, Trump might be loud and obnoxious, but he is on the money that things have to change radically.

China isn't a third world country and it does have political and bureaucratic structure, so they will keep getting stronger and western countries will continue to implode due to a non funded living standard.

Interesting times and unless globalisation is slowed the West will be owned by China, that's a given. As can be seen by the manipulation of the nickel and lithium prices.

China, as the major user of raw materials, can dictate the market.

Australia is already completely dependent on China for its income and most of its imports, so in many ways it will be hard to change our destiny, but it would crazy not to try IMO.

Which is what Trump is doing, well time will tell if that is the case, but he has to be given the benefit off the doubt IMO as no one else has shown any interest in changing the direction or speed of globalisation and with it the worlds dependence on China.
