You see we have these things called tariffs, before donald went into office they were so close to 0 it was a joke, and unless you needed your stuff in a hurry you could have stuff manufactured overseas and imported for a fraction of what you could make it for here.
This was all right and cool until we had a pandemic.
Hordes of democrats flocked to the stores to find they had no cleaning products, paper towels, toilet paper and god knows how many other things.
People complained there was no lysol, but they had plenty of chemical
they had no cans
Because they are made in china
Clorox had vats as big as skyscrapers full of germicidal bleach, but no spritz bottles
Toilet paper final assembly plants sat empty, no textiles
And all the while the clueless idiots sat home crying there was nothing they needed in the stores were too dumb to realize why
Donald trump, the greatest president we have ever had, for 30 years has been saying china is ripping us off but its not just them, its taiwan , vietnam, honduras, and every country that manufactures our stuff
They arent ripping us off directly, they are making our stuff for pennies on the dollar which deprives US of american jobs
A supply chain job isnt just a factory job, its the guy who designs machinery
the box company that makes the packaging
the label printing companies that make the labels
the trucks that bring all the shit around
We have a simple system, order it overseas, import it, your broker processes your tariffs and a truck brings your shit right to your warehouse that is minimally staffed
Once the shortages began, china stopped shipping us the things we were ordering because they valued themselves first, and there was never enough profit on a container of spritz bottles to justify sending it to US when they needed it.
Our president had to threaten war to get them to make masks, and donald even said on the news the first big shipment of masks was coming from china
i could go on all day about how dumb most of you are but its pointless
