Hey, quick question, who does virtually all manufacturing for US and Canadian and EU citizens? And why is the rise of Chinas emissions so coincidentally timed to the fall of those countries'?

I didn't go into the study, but looking at all the little text blurbs about the numbers, I don't see anything about if a US citizen purchasing a product that's made in China counts as US emission, as it obviously should.

My view is that current "emission reduction" just moves jobs to China and India, which decreases overall labor rights and negatively affects the working class..

Still, if you want to have your new iPhone 18/19/20 pro ultra max, it has to be produced somewhere..

So maybe it's time to rethink this and get back to the drawing board..
