I don't think it is that simple, really
No. But it is a start.
The best medical care in the world doesn't do anything because the virus has no cure, nor vaccine
even with HEAVY automation, you can't turn out textiles with the same variety as quickly as with cheap labor
Well, at least Trump isn’t suffering from dementia / cognitive decline. Man’s a former celebrity, he’s thriving in the attention as the oldest president to date.
yeah, this is very true
I think the concept of saying “we should literally export our entire industrial base somewhere else cause is cheaper.” Isn’t gonna fly with people anymore.
Besides, a vote for Biden is a gamble on a puppet President or a VP quickly becoming one.
we've heard that be fore @ubermensch
people have remarkably short memmories

Sad but true
Cause there was no actual stake before now there is to a degree
and most people frankly don't care about what RISK it is if they can only AFFORD something made in china rather than the US
Before people lost jobs and ya know the rich types wouldn’t care
But now the potentially their loved ones die
it's kinda hard to avoid made in china
it's more than just rich people
even middle class
They will turn their heads
Well ya and who would be impacted more by this then the rich types
if you only have $200 for a tv and it's between a $300 US tv and a $150 China tv
Middle class
Half the shit I use was probably made in china and I don't know it
yup
Exactly and that’s a bit of a problem
more alarmingly, alot of 'made in the USA' have suppliers in china
this huawei honor ten?, def china
this glass pitcher?, probably
oh yea
the mouse and keyboard?
turned over the keyboard, made in china
printed on the back
i have to make a presentation about how to use social media sites, including ones that i don't use
kill me
a MAJOR part of the issue is that for 10+ yrs we have had a MASSIVE part of the economy make a living by marketing the products of others
mouse is made in china too
that will all go away now
