  I don’t get this…take the auto industry Trump tariffs foreign cars, so some automakers setup in USA to manufacture, the rest of the world moves on…USA now makes cars but can only sell them in the USA…not enough demand to sustain the auto makers…Manufacturers start buying each other out in USA…left with 1 or 2 big makers…the rest of world no longer cares and has detached from USA markets in general (or equally tariffs USA goods)…USA sits isolated and falling behind. Now expand this to other industries.

  Considering the ‘looseness’ of the specific date, I find it odd that some cling so hard to it’s significance, the feeling of having to change it seems to much to bear for some. It would possibly be better to use Federation day ( although that date is inconvenient for a public holiday) or another day chosen from a selection in a referendum or similar. While we stoke divisive fires this will never change. Personally change the date I can adapt and if it makes some happy what do I care, I just want the day off.
