If the Great Wall of China were suddenly printed on the US dollar, would it go up or down in value?

I would say that it's probably best if a firm's decisions be the culmination of negotiations between labor and management. Organized labor's very purpose is to create a force to counterbalance the power that the management wields, and this isn't a universally bad thing. Ideally the interactions between organized labor and management are cordial, cooperative, and compromising.

Of course, I like the idea of a worker's cooperative very much. But a privately-owned firm which is attentive to the needs of its laborers and is not hostile to their collective organization to make their concerns, needs, and grievances known doesn't strike me as the worst thing in the world. Allow unions and we're off to a pretty good start.

What's your opinion, OP?

I expect down due to the implication that the US economy was now overtly dependent on China.

Why would this even happen?
This was formerly a signature. One day, it may return to its splendid past. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures of my cats.

The fact that China owns US debt should make us feel more secure; our stability serves their self interest.

If a forum topic were too silly and thin, would a mod lock it or not?
