There was chatter about domestic production since the American Revolution when we were running short on ammo. Heck, the Spanish peso (Mexican) was legal tender and widely used here till the Coinage Act of 1857 because we were short on coins even (coins is the thing Boomers use to buy stuff with before debit & credit cards & PayPal)
You not recall the Great Recession of 2008? People were going to start saving money, stop redoing the kitchen every two years and hold off on the annual his & hers SUV purchases. Even tv & shoe repairmen where going to make a comeback. Yes, not only were such items made to last for years, people used to get them fixed instead of buying new ones because Binky scratched the base of the display case one day when he was a kitten.
We were going to be like the Germans, quality production of goods at home and thrifty spending with a nice chunky bank account in case your trust fund from daddy runs out when he panics and dumps his portfolio because Saudi Arabia announced oil production was 7.5% lower for the last quarter than projected.
Now two weeks of a downturn and we have to hand out $1200 so folks can stock up on more toilet paper and have their Starbucks Venti delivered during this year's plague.
Wanna acquire some choice useless trivia for cocktail parties? Ask your folks what Made in Taiwan and Made in Japan meant.
China will make much of our goods till their wages get higher and then it's Southeast Asia and then the Phillipines and then unto Africa then South America in coming decades. This is how you are able to buy a new tv every 6 months because it's shinier and has add'l improved features you will never use.
Intellectual honesty or disingenuous? I am not affiliated with any political party. I am in recovery from heroin addiction and I am back in school (4.0) getting a biochemistry/premed degree with a minor in history/philosophy of science (pseudoscience vs science is my main interest). I am up for a constructive philosophical debate anytime. But ad hominem attacks and no justification makes your position weak.
So you are calling out hypocrisy? I agree that people on both sides of the aisle are hypocrites. The media is not qualified to speak on scientific matters.. neither are most politicians. But science and scientific consensus is non partisan. It is our most reliable pathway to the truth. Science should be listened to. Do you like technology and modern medicine? If you do, then you should listen to science in all aspects of your life.
If you are interested, the American Chemical Society and google scholar have some amazing peer reviewed articles about SARS-CoV-2 research. I would be happy to discuss them with you
They are waiting on Snops or some other liberally biased fact checking site to call it a half truth, misleading,or some other bs so they can copy and past it here😁
Trump peddles unsubstantiated hope in dark times
Stephen Collinson, CNN, New York moved to begin trials Tuesday, procuring 70,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine and 750,000 doses of chloroquine, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. Eliott C. McLaughlin, CNN
Cuomo admitted that he talks to President Trump every night . Then he does his daily briefing to take undue credit for the success . New York is the new epicenter because Cuomo and deBlasio were totally unprepared and unwilling to follow Trump's early guidelines .
That's silly. NY is the epicenter because NY is the center of the World. AKA there's a reason Jebber's Field, Arkansas off Exit 12 on I-95 ain't getting hit hard.
New Rochelle, NY, north of the border of the Bronx, Google.
Took such steps weeks before anyone on this side of the planet did and is now the model for the rest.
NY scheduled to crest in 20 days while New Orleans is just starting to flame up totally unprepared.
Oh, and Cuomo and DiBlasio are constantly on tv here talking about this and if wasn't for the deaths, that would be the worst of all this. They do not become less annoying the more you hear them.
Guy, do you not ever bore yourself repeating the same played out nonsense? It's 2020, the Apocalypse arrived, something abput China and yes, maybe el Mexico will get it too so poo on them for not building Trump's wall, eh?
Go take a selfie by the wall and post it for entertainment purposes and as a pleasant reminder that you will be stuck in a 2016 loop for the rest of your awesome life.
You know, as I sit here dazzled by your butt kicking rebuttal, I am totes (is that how you kidz say it?) convinced, build the Mexican wall now and keep the Corona Beer out!
Hi thenukeman, We have a new stream which is made for memes like this where you highlight media hypocrisy or show the fake news. Even though this is posted in here, if you have time and interest would you mind dropping past and posting this and any other meme that fits the same or similar criteria. Thanks
Trump was called a Racist by Biden because he blocked Travel from China in January. Nice try though. Did you here that people are dying and need to try something that shows some promise. Saint Jude Started out 60 years ago and 90 Percent of the Children Died. Now some Cancers have close to a 100 Percent cure rate because they tried different medicines, procedures. Pan Your Trump Derngement Syndrome prevents you from even if there is slight hope for some one you should try.
