i guess I'm a racist for calling it Kung Fu Flu, just turned on a special report and caught the tail end of it with a gal saying it was racist to call it the Chinese flu, the president said it wasn't racist that it came from China.

That's right. I would just add the legal system. It pushed many companies to outsource jobs. It's hard to do business when you are always concern about a lawsuit.

Surprise surprise. Americans want cheap prices. Then we complain when the jobs leave for countries that allow them to pay less for labor. It happened to the fur industry. Underwear industry. Shoe industry. Car industry. Medicine manufacturing industry. Clothing industry. Tool industry. Etc etc etc. Few people will buy MB traps made here when Duke gets almost identical traps made overseas and sells them for less. It would be different if overseas products were vastly inferior. They’re not so we buy them because they’re cheaper. But then we complain.

It’s time we wake up to reality. If we want ‘American Made’ we have to be willing to pay for it. And stop complaining that it costs more.

Many jobs also left as the environmental movement got started. They went to countries that didn't care about pollution. Have you seen all the pictures of smog in China? I hear with many factories shut down due to Corona Virus in China the smog is starting to clear.

Your right. Kick coal miners, steel plants out of a job, yet it's okay in China. The playing field must be leveled in every area.

I wonder how many greedy companies and corporations would love to build new facilities in the US but know that by the time they negotiated with the labor union, appeased the whack job environmental Nazis, and then paid out the frivolous lawsuits; know they would loose money and therefore build in So America or Asia where they can stay afloat?
Just the kind of thought you might have if you are willing to think outside of the box public education and the liberal news media is trying to trap you in.

My son and I went to check out a new fishing lake last weekend. It was a power plant lake. The guard told us that Obama shut the plant down and no one wants to invest to start it, because of a new president may change it.
Destroyed the small town, can't sell the houses that once where filled with the families of the plant.
The American business owners have been slandered by the left and brainwashed the public through the media.

So what’s cheaper today really, are your LaCrosse boots cheaper are your meds any cheaper or the stuff from China any cheaper today really? Cheaper made but any savings are not being passed on to the consumers like they said it would be.

As far as who is actually the bad guy here it is hard to overlook Chinas roll in under-reporting the infectious nature of this outbreak for many months.

Daggum it, I know yall figure that a socialist government is all rainbows and unicorns b/c Bernie said so. Sorry

The real kick in the but is them makeing it illegal to eaven walk across the border to buy your prescriptions because of quality control issues and then let the pharmaceutical companys source from china . Shining a light on who pushed this through congress should be the next big scandal in Washington this is somthing both parties and the media all had to work together to get done . I dont remember an expose or outraged commentator trying to expose how much of our meds were coming from china . The media was keeping mum about because about every fifth comercial or add is for a prescription medicine that you should ask your doctor about .
