People preferred their higher standard of living and cheap products rather than a self sustaining economy where your food budget took up 40% of your paycheck with little left over for luxuries.

This is a result of the liberal Democrats' unfair trade agreements that have sent all of our manufacturing capacity abroad. Including manufacturing of medical supplies. If China needs these supplies of course they're going to help their own people first before exporting any.

Either way, most people live paycheck to paycheck.

Actually our elected reps preferred their special interests over we the people and sold us out. They made sure that it would be more profitable to offshore manufacturing than keep it in the states.

The US manufactures a ton of things. Including for example ventilators. See Zoll medical. This nonsense gets bandied about a lot, but we do in fact manufacture a ton of things. Weve moved lots of stuff overseas-no disagreement there, but we do still do a ton of manufacturing.

You do know most of the traade deals etc were done with Republicans all on board in the past....right? Screaming that businesses needed to be left alone, and any suggestion otherwise was anti-capitalist right?
