You know nothing, and have no money in real life 100% guaranteed, if china stopped making our stuff our country would completely collapse

as an example

when covid hit even trump said 95% of masks are made in china, test kits are made in china, vials, needles, IV Bags, GLOVES

you can go right down the list, what else is made in china?

the spritz bottles for clorox clean up and all the other chemicals, the caps for the gallon jugs , everything

most of you are so stupid and none of you want to work, do you know who wants to work? china
yeah not one of the things you list cannot be spun up to meet need within a year either locally or outside of china
how long do you think it takes to build a giant rectangular factory and start cranking out latex gloves using local unskilled workers?
do you think our society will collapse while we wait for some building in Pennsylvania to start making bleach bottles?
do you think we're unable to say hey other-nations-with-unskilled-workers-who-love-dollars, can you make some more beakers and dildos for us?

you're right i don't have any money because i donate everything i earn to keep p99 going and i live my life like an ascetic i mean i still jerk off and eat red meat but otherwise it's very clean living
i digress
i know enough about money theory though to know that the entire world runs on the dollar and that we can just print as much of it as we want and everyone else keeps buying so much of our debt that if anything at all were to happen to us they would be holding worthless paper and also if anything happened to China we could just throw those precious new dollars at someone else until they sent us all the ballpoint pen caps we needed

china wants to work. fucking lol. india wants to work, the philippines want to work, vietnam wants to work, mexico wants to work, brazil wants to work, do i need to go on? china isn't some magical factory land, they're low-skilled guys who make things just slightly cheaper than anyone at that volume. oh noes now we'll have to pay a tiny bit more, time to print more free money and send everyone another round of checks
