You dont care about free people from conversations with you. You said if people are enslaved in the diamond mines or in China where you get your business supply from, is no concern of yours.
What the hell are you talking about? You want to enslave other people so that they do what you want them to do.
^^^^^This. Obama had Fed Quantitative Easing to zero interest rates his entire term. Nobody complained, especially not the Democrats or the Media which are one in the same.
Have we lost our freaking minds? We are closing down the country for what, exactly? See this comment from Yahoo:
Korea never canceled anything, or told people to stay inside or work from home. As the virus winds down there, the tally is 0 people under 30 died. 2 under 50. Average age of death was 80, totaling around 79 people in a country of 51.5 million that borders China.
Your freedoms are being taken away from you, people!
Don't act like South Korea did nothing. They took very different measures that would never fly here.

South Korea, which has a slightly smaller population than Italy at about 50 million people, has around 29,000 people in self-quarantine. It has imposed lockdowns on some facilities and at least one apartment complex hit hardest by outbreaks. But so far no entire regions have been cut off.
Seoul says it is building on lessons learned from an outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2015 and working to make as much information available as possible to the public.
South Korea is also enforcing a law that grants the government wide authority to access data: CCTV footage, GPS tracking data from phones and cars, credit card transactions, immigration entry information, and other personal details of people confirmed to have an infectious disease.
The authorities can then make some of this public, so anyone who may have been exposed can get themselves - or their friends and family members - tested.
In addition to helping work out who to test, South Korea's data-driven systems help hospitals manage their pipeline of cases.
People found positive are placed in self-quarantine and monitored remotely through an app or checked regularly in telephone calls until a hospital bed becomes available. When this occurs, an ambulance picks the person up and takes them to a hospital with air-sealed isolation rooms.
This approach comes at the cost of some privacy. South Korea's system is an intrusive mandatory measure that depends on people surrendering what, for many in Europe and the US, would be a fundamental right of privacy.
"Traditional responses such as locking down affected areas and isolating patients can be only modestly effective, and may cause problems in open societies, says South Korea's Deputy Minister for Health and Welfare Kim Gang-lip.
In South Korea's experience, he told reporters on Monday, lockdowns mean people participate less in tracing contacts they may have had. "Such an approach," he said, "is close-minded, coercive and inflexible."

People complained. Obama might not have. But anyone with a basic understanding of economics did.
Also, you're lying as has already been pointed out in this thread. The rates started to be raised under Obama's second term.
