Russia Considers Possibility Of $25 Oil Next Year

Unless China works with Trump on the tariffs, IP theft, the South China Sea issues, and much more, the Chinese economy will go into a long term recession. Southern Europe is already in a depression, and it seems a continent-wide recession is now looming. With The US applying tariffs on Chinese products, Europe in recession, Argentina, Russia, Brazil, and much of the rest of the world in economic/political crisis or recession which will bail out China?

The US consumer will have many choices with the whole world trying to sell anything at firesale prices.

The oil bulls will be destroyed over the next few years. Oil will likely return to more rational pricing, which will be a benefit to the world generally and US consumers specifically.

Retail Bankruptcies Rise, Store Closures Skyrocket in First Half of 2019

We need bankruptcies, and store closures to reduce the total number of retail outlets and bring retail in alignment with reality. This is one of the great drags on US productivity. We have been hiring people to man retail stores which are not worth keeping open. Freeing these individuals to pursue employment or opportunities which are more productive will be a benefit to the economy and the individuals themselves.

If they were winning, they would welcome debate, and discussion since every debate and discussion would win them converts and points. But they are not winning and debates and discussions lose them points and converts so they are not welcome.
