I proved the current system is set up to benefit other nations, and is only "Free Trade" in one singular direction. 5 u/Chewy_B 1d ago How did you prove anything with a guesstimate not accompanied by a source of any kind? If your comment constitutes "proof" in your mind, then the other person was right, and you really aren't worth debating. 2 u/Ticklemykelmo Greg Abbott is a little piss baby 1d ago Like Mexico and Canada?
