It is possible to eliminate Liberalism, and China, from most of what one consumes, but not all.

If I can eliminate 90% of it, I'm hurting them, & the more that do what I do, the more they'll feel it.

I'm not buying the $70k Volvo, or the $46k Buick due to China. Next time I buy a keyboard, China's fired!

I research all large purchases prior to buying. I keep getting better & better at squeezing Libs & China.

In 2021, they'll get even less from me, & my company than they got in 2020. I've got their heads in an economic vice.

Do what you must - to feel better - most products we buy from China are less that $100 in large quantities. What phone do you use?
Car prices are set here in the USA, but don’t delude yourself. And capitalism to include the entire earth is Wall Street and corporations which over 1/2 are republicans. They hold the money strings. But you are free in the USA - so buy or not buy at will. But your other millions of consumers have the same freedom. Good luck

Do you like eating warm take-out food instead of eating in a restaurant ?

Do you like working out OUTSIDE at the gym ?

Do you miss stopping by the neighborhood sports bar to watch the game ?

Do you enjoy paying your barber to come to your house to cut your hair ?

Not sure you're really in LA or maybe you're the hermit.

Covid and the lockdowns aren't going away any time soon and I'm not very confident our new leaders have tax-paying Americans best interests at heart.


Despite who's leading the country, at some point things have to get back to normal. Right?
We have two nitwits heading for the WH who will raise taxes, are in bed with China, are puppets of Obama, hate conservatives..........NO things will not be better this year

Here is a bonus for small business owners (as if they haven't suffered enough already). The IRS plans a 50% uptick in audits of small businesses

It's a shame that Americans are a bunch of partisan hacks who lack the capacity for objective thought.

Lmao if you think Biden will improve things ...sorry you will be mistaken. He won’t be there veyr long and the democrats will get rid of h8m.

since we know for a fact from his actions that the current leader didn't have tax paying Americans' best interests at heart, and only lining his own pockets and those of his rich, tax evading cronies, I have no doubt that things will improve

It won't be immediate because there is so much damage to repair but at least we will be heading in the right direction again

I doubt it'll be better, especially with Dementia and Kommiela in the White House. Because remember:

2021 is pronounced "2020 won".

2022 is pronounced "2020 too".
