People will call you an extremist for such language.  But/ you are right!
It isn't extremist at all. It's just fact. The destruction of manufacturing jobs and devastation in communities all over the midwest in this country is because: China. It's so obvious and the evidence bears that out.

China is the enemy. Maybe instead of peddling obvious Russiagate conspiracy bullshit for 3 god damn years in DC- they should've been trying to figure out what to do about China.

If China succeeds in breaking the hold of the US dollar in global trade & oil, disrupting world trade routes, and in owning 70% of all high-tech/high-value sectors that are manufactured in China- the US will be finished. Every city in the country will look like Detroit.

Most US cities, maybe all of the major ones, don't rely on manufacturing today.  Atlanta relies on conventions and the hospitality industry and a lot of white collar jobs and construction.

I don't think there is ANY manufacturing in the city limits worth noting.  That probably is not unusual these days.

We may never have all of the answers, unless China ponies up and allows an international panel to investigate the lab in which this virus came from.

Don't hold your breath.
Yeah, some of those answers we'll never know, and some of the ones we do discover, probably won't be for several years, and will still only be estimates and guesses.  Which is why "waiting for those answers" is something that won't, and can't, happen.

The sole purpose was to flatten the curve, and the sole purpose of that was to keep the hospitals from being overrun.  It was never possible to contain the disease, not after it left its Chinese place of origin.

Areas where hospitals haven't become overrun, must begin the process of reopening.  Areas that are still hotspots, should remain more cautious.  

And the most at-risk people, must remain cautious for a long, long time.  Or, they can make the decisions-- on their own-- to assume the risk.  This is a free country, after all.

There is quite a lot of manufacturing here in Crook County.

biggest paper in Germany going in hard at Xi Jinping and China over the virus and their cover-up.
I'm confused,you have one post saying it's really not a thing .So now they're uncovering nothing?This is why people are erring on the side of caution because deep dow they are not sure.Politicians,most of them IMO are keeping options open going hard on attacking the Virus.Then flipping the script saying we have to go back to work .It's hard to cover your ass but seems everyone is fence sitting and over a barrel.I suspect COVID will have to shake out naturally which is both good and bad

Apple manufactures the Mac Pro right here in Austin.

I'll be very surprised if my company doesn't move some of our Western Hemisphere manufacturing back to Austin and Nashville, as well.

Obviously, we can't stick with this plan forever.  It has to evolve at some point.  People will disagree about when that point is reached.
This is pretty much the crux of the last 2-3 months .This Apocalypse mode is a bandaid and is a precurser to something wicked this way comes if we don't open things up and start taking our cuts.Precautions doing more damage than it's prevented - IMO of course

If she were in NY/NJ it'd be different.

Which is one of the lessons we need to learn-- don't use a sledgehammer when the scalpel is the correct tool.  It's okay to treat areas and regions differently.

This was our one shot, and in some ways, we've cried wolf.  The public won't put up with this again.




Reminds me of hurricane season.

At some point, some folks over prepare and others try to ride it out. And sometimes the former take great costs, and at sometimes the latter do.

Oktoberfest in Munich is cancelled. 

This does not bode well for the prospect of any mass gatherings for the rest of 2020.

not everyone has a nannie and a fridge full of gourmet ice cream (thanks Gutfield).
That person has a nanny? That's very weird.

the corporate puppets helped China become the power it is today.
Absolutely,the sickness of greed has poisoned this society perhaps beyond repair.How many times have CEO's left rubble were a once thriving company was.Enron for example yet walk away richer than when they showed up.At least some one got encarcerated there.Same thing with sports,who the hell was it that just signed a 330 million contract to play baseball - beisbol.Years ago I voted against the "SIN" taxes  that built the 3 Football/Baseball/Basketball venues here in NE Ohio.Owners were already raking in Billions and to save their political Lives our "Leaders"pimped their product.Yet many economists have pointed out and proven very few benefit from these debacles.The company heads sell the jobs/product to China and get kick backs and stocks packages for their treachery.Good industrious,insightful and talented people are left without income.Problem was many of these Wall Street Judases sold the future and tax base down the river for their immediate benefit.Just crazy when your making millions you'll take thousands from the middle class like the Corps(and I wish they were) didn't have enough before.Moving forward this country should repeal every rule/regulation/law brought to bare by Lobbyists - every single freaking one

I understand the caution, but I think this is premature.  We'll be looking at things through a very different lens a few months from now.

Prolly not a bad move so tons of suds aren't sitting around spoiling,getting stale.If things clear up they could always be enterprising and erect their lemonade stands at the last moment

Yep, my buddy Franz (he lives there) emailed me this morning. We were going to try to make it to Munich for the festivities. Now we just hope to see them in Florida this winter.
