us relies more heavily on chinese imports for short-term items

and makes up the difference with long-lead items

like tech which takes 1 yr or 6 mo to manufacture

Umm the us has the bread basket of America

Bread for everyone

not even close to enough to feed everyon

it's logistics; supply chains and the current JIT paradigm

JIT - Just In Time

China buys a crap ton of pork from europe

holding as little inventory as possible

Did somebody say....

GUN?

we just couldn't fill the void of cheap chinese goods fast enough

and unlike the communist gov in china who would have no problem putting down a revolt if things went south, the west would implode

people get pissy when they can't buy what they need from walmart

@Dalton Ford booooooooo

Why the rise of totalitarian paleomercantalism with Chinese characteristics and Cynicist policies has instigated an equal eruption in the insurgence of pseudosyndicalist paganistic blood sacrifices with neocolonial Trotskyist beliefs

because it has become a matter of Demand VS Supply

not Supply AND Demand

Demand includes branding and marketing

@ManAnimal Basic Economics 😳

it's not 'basic economics' anymore

@ManAnimal I only read the subjective nature of Ayn Rand's books and interpret it into economics

basic economics relies on most of the supply and demand being subject to the same forces, under the same gov regulation etc

now, most of the supply is abroad and demand is domestic

the supply is subject to different laws than the demand

British West Indies 1760

and many confuse the ability to re-brand cheap chinese goods for profit as equivalant to production

Ayn Rand ❤

atlas shrugged gets boring tho

Doesn’t need to be that long

it's written for autists

read The Fountainhead

that was her first attempt to convey the meaning of her philosophy

but the message was missed on most

so Atlas Shrugged
