Not sure how its possible someone could be so dumb when almost everything manufactured is made in china.

The population in the US is lazy, wants too much money, organizes themselves into unions choking companies and sues for nothing

hence

we have manufacturing in other countries and thats not going away

I import and sell goods for a living and i love china. I deal with factories everyday !

These people work hard, make your stuff exactly the way you want it and haggle on pricing. They are very fair and are regulated by their trade commission

The end result is i make lots of money and you get your products. Thats how life works now

it all started by idiots buying cars made outside the US

Those people do nothing for the world and we dont need them. Sometimes its hard to make the hard choices, the pandemic will take care of them, all of them.

80% of the deaths in the US Are people over 60, and 100% of them do nothing for the world.

Humans live too long, our planet is under too much strain and this pandemic is just the first. There will be more.

People deserve to be able to chill at old age after working their entire lives you sick neo-feudalist fuck.

Also the US workforce is among the most productive in the world, and life isn't meant to be lived as a slave to wealth creation.

The US Workforce isnt manufacturing anything, and on the global productivity scale is on the bottom 10%

There is a special on netflix called american factory, i think it will broaden your view on how manufacturing and factories work. Its an A+ Watch

Buy more shoes from China. It keeps them occupied with peasant work while we perform 100x more valuable tasks.
We have China completely by the balls. We print endless streams of money and give those promises to them in exchange for low-end goods. They can't say no and devote their base to satisfying our demands. Meanwhile if we chose to, we could completely cripple them. It would take a year or two to gear production back up for those goods if something "happened" to our Chinese partners or their precious trade routes. We can easily shift production to India or Vietnam as Apple has been doing recently. I'm sure the Mexicans and other guys from that area would love to take up the burden.

Meanwhile the Chinese would have nowhere to unload their junk and they wouldn't be ready to take up the slack for high-end domestic product in nearly the time it would take us to dust off the old factories. We have those guys right where we want them.

edit: I agree our manufacturing sucks (except for like Raytheon and high-end stuff). I'm just saying it doesn't matter.

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

China has value as an established supplier but we are in no way beholden to them to maintain our quality of life.

Hell, REAL China(Taiwan #1) sent us masks as a diplomatic gift. Theyd be happy to do it if asked. Asian manufacturing is a better deal for all parties than wasting lives doing it at home.

That isn’t true. A certain segment of the population would be better off with that type of work, that or we’d have to massively overhaul our economy to better support people without college degrees. NAFTA and other trade deals contributed to addiction rates and suicides, not really as much as the financial crisis of ‘08, but still. Decent jobs for people without degrees would benefit America

There’s also an environmental impact to trans-pacific shipping, even if it’s never discussed

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

Senate gets back on Monday. I expect UI bonus extension quickly as it's set to expire. More Trumpbux only slightly less unlikely.
