Is it time to permanently cut the cord?
Once again, China cost American workers livelihoods.


My dad always said, it is better when you can do it yourself.
Boy Scouts, taught being self sufficient.


In this disposable world... How disposable are you?
America Strong!

If Americans would stop buying Chinese made products then the Chinese would not have
the money to buy our movie theaters and production companies, office buildings, pork producing
companies, etc. They own a lot of the USA.

But, IMO, it's our own damn fault for getting sucked in to cheap stuff. It's time for American consumers to
just say no to Chinese made goods. But then, we'd have to be willing to pay more.

Funny how you're one of those "its just like the regular flu" posters yet blame others for the actions taken to stop this flu. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

Its our own damned fault for electing politicians so willing to sell us out in trade negotiations.

It wont change a thing and you know it.

Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan, Mexico and Indonesia would still produce cheap stuff, viruses will still be around that did not come from China, whether its mad-cow disease, ebola, marburg, zika-virus, west nile, HIV/AIDS, swine flu and the list goes on and on.

If anything, coronavirus has exposed how woefully inadequate our pandemic preparation is, so we should be thankful the virus isnt even worse.

I've been saying for years that the bigger enemy is China, not Russia.
