Better hide. Gov. Cuomo is confiscating respirators. That vader respirator is high tech, he'll want that for himself.
I know something even worse...
What will become of those after they survive this epidemic?
I'm referring to that which I fear the most.
Our Infrastructure on many levels has been stripped bare, sent overseas with our blessings of "its too redundant for us to make it. It costs more $$$ here, you take it..."
NAFTA should have been the biggest Loser sign we ever needed to remember.
In 2008 I was scrambling because of a Union shop and it's wages were going over the border with another forkful going overseas to make the parts and the plastic injection molding even cheaper to produce so they can maintain that profit margin from the competition that was accepting the very said technology, and then the overseas began the process of mass producing all the parts for both it's industry to supply our needs, and the supplemental industry that supplied it the "go ahead - full steam" with a manual on how to keep it going - only with both itself, and the supplemental - being the "competition" we see here in our shores.
Funny - it's all made within the same regions and even the same factories they make parts for their own equipment to see here in the States...
We just may be the "Biggest Loser" when this is all said and done. Sure we won, we lived thru it, only now we have a different flag and set of rules to oppressed by...
Our evidence alone here is showing our inability to remain homogenous throughout this crisis and take care of ourselves.
We got caught unprepared for a war before, this is no different - and I have said before - and people get tired of it, we need to keep our industry strong for otherwise we become overtaken by the very ones we make our military defend against.
Dark thoughts there. Keep on the sunny side. After it's all over, those Chinese goods will be flowing back in.I know something even worse...

- Only now, the money made thru the supply chain, is no longer kept here, its' shipped back with the raw materials to refurbish and reclaim the stuff we took for granted as unprofitable.

So keep taking about the Coronavirus - because it may be the demarcation line of such an event that we remember the good old days as Before the great Die Off, and After The Great Die Off.
Extinction was already used for the Dinosaurs, but then, when you're the last one left, use what you wish - but remember to turn off the lights when you're done.
Every country that has suffered because of a weaponized virus from China has a legal right to confiscate and hold any Chinese money, property, and businesses in their country.

Went walkabout, just along the back perimeter to see what's happening in the hood behind me. Nothing not a sole, no traffic, looked down the street perpetually......nobody. Very little traffic heard on 35, wondering if neighbors are alive. Usually hear various planes or choppers, not even a crop duster.
Folks, this shit is really weird. I'm feeling kinda funny, believe it stress. Not sure why, I usually stay home, and there is always noise from out back. No friendly gun fire today.
Reminds me of a John Prine song.
I can see where domestic manufacturing of certain things will now be mandatory for national security.
Just heard this also.. very sad news indeed. Prine is one of the greatest song writers of all time... in my humble opinion..Momma just txt'd me that John Prine has been intubated due to Chinese Virus.
Lost Diffie too...Just heard this also.. very sad news indeed. Prine is one of the greatest song writers of all time... in my humble opinion..
