Nobody was positive about Bush

Incidentally, the 9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act did not pass until 2023.

We are flush with Bush hagiographies.

Maybe the simpler point I could have made is that everybody competes with China.

They're the single largest manufacturing economy in the world. And they're on the cutting edge of a host of modern technical fields.

Vanishingly few economies compete with China in any material way (Japan, India, Korea, maybe France and Brazil if we're being generous). They're a global wholesaler for everyone else.

    Obviously some Americans liked him since he was elected twice, but nobody outside USA liked Bush.
    And when I write nobody, obviously I don't mean that literally, but Bush was a very disliked president outside USA.

    That's a very weird claim, especially since you mention cars. Europe and China are in very steep competition also on cars. Countries highly affected by this area alone are: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Czechia, Sweden, Netherlands, and UK. That means ALL the major economies of Europe are competing with China.

    IDK if you are American, things may look different over there, you seem pretty ignorant of what happens in the rest of the world.

    Blair defends Iraq war and praises Bush

    Sept. 7, 2010

    You can find similar pledges of support and friendship from Shinzo Abe, Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon, Steven Harper, John Howard, Nicolas Sarkozy, Vladimir Putiny.. Practically every conservative government leader of the War on Terror era was expressing support for Bush late into his second term and beyond.

    Oops. It's all China.

    It's not, that's the joke. The American business model of buying from the cheapest producer and then spending all your money on branding/marketing is everywhere.

    Both Volkswagen and Ford parts are coming from the same plants. Possibly made by the same exact machinists. The only thing you're paying a premium for is the ad reads.
