as an example

when covid hit even trump said 95% of masks are made in china, test kits are made in china, vials, needles, IV Bags, GLOVES

you can go right down the list, what else is made in china?

the spritz bottles for clorox clean up and all the other chemicals, the caps for the gallon jugs , everything

most of you are so stupid and none of you want to work, do you know who wants to work? china
yeah not one of the things you list cannot be spun up to meet need within a year either locally or outside of china
how long do you think it takes to build a giant rectangular factory and start cranking out latex gloves using local unskilled workers?
do you think our society will collapse while we wait for some building in Pennsylvania to start making bleach bottles?
do you think we're unable to say hey other-nations-with-unskilled-workers-who-love-dollars, can you make some more beakers and dildos for us?

you're right i don't have any money because i donate everything i earn to keep p99 going and i live my life like an ascetic i mean i still jerk off and eat red meat but otherwise it's very clean living
i digress
i know enough about money theory though to know that the entire world runs on the dollar and that we can just print as much of it as we want and everyone else keeps buying so much of our debt that if anything at all were to happen to us they would be holding worthless paper and also if anything happened to China we could just throw those precious new dollars at someone else until they sent us all the ballpoint pen caps we needed

china wants to work. fucking lol. india wants to work, the philippines want to work, vietnam wants to work, mexico wants to work, brazil wants to work, do i need to go on? china isn't some magical factory land, they're low-skilled guys who make things just slightly cheaper than anyone at that volume. oh noes now we'll have to pay a tiny bit more, time to print more free money and send everyone another round of checks

Those jobs in Mexico = better than in China. Cheaper labor and lower transport costs. That’s if you want to make this purely economic

Temporary pain with changing supply chains but we’ve seen how fragile those are anyway, if were not committed to bringing jobs back home, at least bring them to North America.

NAFTA and other trade deals contributed to addiction rates and suicides, not really as much as the financial crisis of ‘08, but still. Decent jobs for people without degrees would benefit America

There’s also an environmental impact to trans-pacific shipping, even if it’s never discussed
Why did you get banned

I’d love to see us take a PAID FOR green new deal seriously, with domestic manufacturing and research into wind and tidal power with maintenance jobs being taught in high school in rural areas and inner cities. Jobs and social mobility for those for whom college isn’t realistic in terms of debt to future income

Domo you said

How many lifes could be saved if the President of the United States would react reasonable to the Corona Virus months ago?

He wanted to shut down all international travel from china and anyone who visited china to slow the spread at the beginning and was shut down BY DEMOCRATS Who called him racist

I mean there are quite few cultists among the Trump supporters who only didnt wear a mask because the President of the United States didnt wear a mask.

He didnt wear a mask because he does not want to cause panic, the worst thing you can do is be afraid of something, it limits your ability to actually deal with it
