so ............................ is this where the saying "bat**** crazy" came from?
I'm hoping out of this people begin to realize the impact globalization has had on us all. That there is benefits to buying something from the local dealer or retailer down the street instead of from Amazon, and the products they sell should be made in North America. Right now we have no choice, we don't have any diplomatic standing to go after China for this virus, or to influence them to change their ways, all they'd have to do is stop selling us goods and we'd be up sh!t creek.
We all look at ourselves as first class citizens in a country at the pinnacle of technological advancement. Could you imagine what would happen if we had to build our own cell phones in country? What a turd that would be. We depend on China for everything.
There are costs to being so interdependent and interconnected with other nations, this virus is one of them.
Some good points for sure, but keep in mind we export a lot more than we import. If every country goes back to isolating itself we'll go broke here.
