Well, it’s a good thing, then that President Trump set up conditions for so many businesses to come back into the US and start up production here again.

This could not happen overnight, but there’s been three years for it to happen and now we are in a much better position than we were before, far less dependent on China.

and we’d do even better yet if people would give up their insatiable appetite for the latest and greatest bauble, and cheap, to boot.

We have MORE THAN enough stuff in this country to get by even if China turns belly up.

Clothes coming out of our ears, houses filled with hoarded goods to the point that most people I know complain that they have too much stuff and are trying to downsize but can’t even give the stuff away because nobody else wants it cause THEY have too much of their own as it is.

There are garage sales and thrift shops and consignment shops to get stuff everywhere.

I wonder what we get from China that we really NEED anyways, as opposed to just *want*.

Look into other metals as well, they are all doing pretty well. Silver is one of those that is going well.

Brass and lead are the better precious metals to invest in.

They come in nice, tidy little boxes of very consistent size and shape.

Sadly, there are still many Americans who are still stuck in the 80’s and believe that Russia is our largest enemy. WRONG.

China is our most dangerous foe.

Interesting study on possible Patient Zero.

Other musings regarding who may have interests in China to release such an evil virus.

My small investments dropped $11,000.00 this week. I had intentionally gotten rid of foreign components the past few years but when the Dow and NASDAQ fall, c’est la vie, or c’est la guerre if this article has any merit.

(from the article) : "show hostility to the U.S., such as that China had the right to use force to settle trade disputes,
directing blinding lasers at U.S. pilots in Djibouti, and conducting sonic attacks against American diplomats."

Add to these hostile actions, theft of business intellectual property, the 5G cellphone highway insecurity by Huawei,
as well as under-cover financial bribery of Research directors at various universities.
How can you deny that their '30 year plan' is anything less than overtly hostile ?

The intellectual property theft is BAD

You’re right

If one were to view Bernie and his ilk as Soviet agents, one could make a case that the USSR is still a yuge existential threat to the US.

Looking forward, the ChiComs do seem to be out to get us and have way more leverage than the current Rooskies do.
