China Virus

[Taranis]

In my business career, (now retired!) one very important aspect of our chemical manufacturing was the absolute best supply of a number of raw materials, such as rare earths, was, and is China. On rare earths China produces about 80% of the world’s supply. I am not going to go into details but without getting it there your personal lives would be wildly different and at best wildly more expensive.

So pick 3 grand children and tell them life would be more expensive with you, so I choose the Cheaper.

Things are not fully banned just semi banned.

Freedom of religion, can have a religion just don't go to church.

Freedom of assembly only with those you live with.

Right to bear arms, as long as they are not semi autos or and "military style weapons" and you have a licence.

Not in the USA, we are know for OBEYING the government.

We started with a Revelution and we have had a Civil war.

No that was an example I gave after u disproved of my view.

What u disagreed on was this statement I made

"Bring industry and engineering back to the states.
Bring manufacturing back to the west"

That is what u first took issue with

U then took issue when I basically said that multi million dollar corporations can afford to relocate from China back to the west.

Perhaps your Christian thang to do here is to support the working class in the west instead of the communist elite

I think you need to go back and read post #40 again. I quoted the part I was speaking to.

I had not thought about it, but Made in America, might actually have a Comeback, do to this.

It is not going to last, but I heard Detroit is going to start making masks.

When I worked in the northern MN iron mining industry, the United Steelworker's Union tried to promote "buy American," particularly American made autos which were a huge buyer of the steel. This promotion was really stepped up about the time I was laid off because the iron range economy was in a depression with unemployment as high as 25%. However, when looking around the parking lot there was a rather significant percentage of foreign made automobiles and motorcycles.

Walmart, at least in the past, promoted "American made." Over time, not only at Walmart, when placing foreign made products side by side with American made, people tend to choose foreign made probably because of pricing so today it is actually hard to find American made products sometimes.

We kind of do it to ourselves.

You Know anything Made n America in a Walmart is the sticker that say made in America.

Many years ago they were a Home town store, Walmart is so big if we quit shopping at Walmart (which I do no not) we could hurt China's Economy.
If we quit shopping at One store Chain we could Hurt China.

They would take a hit if we quit shopping at Walmart.

Now we are not to leave our homes.

How many people in the USA still consider Walmart ESSENTIAL?

Isolationism is not a good plan in today's world economy. It has proven itself to be a failure. We do a lot here in the US and we trade world-wide. If you don't want us to use foreign goods, then the best thing you can do is not buy foreign goods. Anything that you can't buy US made that you want, you'll just have to make yourself or do without.

A lot of the reason for so many things being made outside the country comes down to competition. When foreign made products were placed on the shelves along side American made, people bought the foreign made because the costs were lower. As a result, the American companies couldn't compete. There could be multiple reasons for that including, but not limited to, economic differences, lifestyle differences, standard of living differences that affect labor costs and other things, government imposed tariffs, material costs, taxes, regulations, greed (both corporate and workforce) and so on but it is what it is.

It looks like besides individual hoarding, national hoarding by some countries might be becoming a thing now. Things look to be getting real dicey.

You cover the cloth in Grease, wrap them, put them in whatever and bury them.

That is what it means by covering them in Grease.

Look, I used to own assault rifles and a multitude of other firearms. I own none as of present. I am still an NRA life member ,but don't know for how much longer. You are drifting the conversation away from Christ answers and more toward Worldly answers to events. Christ first, last, always for answers. Promoting law breaking is not something we should be doing here.

We are Not Known for obeying the government.

The Prime Minister here said the government will protect us, so I guess she is saying she is from the government and here to help me.

All in the name of safety and security.

I'm all in favor of using another country's resources first, but who knows how all this will shake out in a global economy in shambles.

Does that mean we can get back on the Gold Standard, and pay a SILVER DIME or a SILVER QUARTER for things.


Right now a Dime of silver is worth 1.73 Dollars.

So for a dime you could buy $1.73 worth of goods.

IF we were on the Gold standard.

Who knows if the fiat currency survives this.

All that money countries gave away in foreign aid billions and billions when it could have gone to this time in need and the citizens and small business's suffering in the country now.

Elections are an essential service. Who knows if we will have them as well, and our freedom of assembly is banned even if there was an election. We are in a state of emergency.
