This is wrong on so many levels. 1. Most people still think this came from the wet market, not a GMO in the Wuhan biolab. 2. Trump never once looked like he was dropping Kavanaugh. 3. Crippling our economy doesn't force companies to relocate to the U.S. 4. Using the defense production act to force a few key players to manufacture respirators or face masks does not mitigate America's dependence on Chinese goods. When was the last time you walked into WalMart and bought a respirator? 5. The Treasury did not completely take over the Fed. That's an oversimplification and there's a lot more to it than that. 6. Nobody is inadvertently work for President Trump. If they were they'd be praising Hydroxychloroquine. He would've been better off telling everyone HQ was deadly, then everyone would take it. This is not an attack on you, I just think this anon is way off base.

Not to mention, it definitely doesn't take "at least 6 weeks" for things to get to the US from China. I used to work in shipping and the longest it might take is about 1/3 of that time. If the cargo is on a ship, and using a plane is a lot faster of course.

Bullshit. I worked at a Global manufacturing company and did supply chain work.
Plane shipments are out of the norm and ridiculously expensive. And yes often it takes six weeks from order time. In fact that is the usual. Time from placement of order to receipt of the goods at the plant or warehouse.
You are failing to account time to prepare shipment from the sourcer, travel time to the docks, shipment across the ocean, arrival at destination docks, customs clearance of shipment, inco term paperwork, and then eventual ship to final destination.

Pearl Harbor was a terrible thing to happen to America. We should have fought with Hitler, not against him.

I think the example is - that got us industry moving at that point from a depression that was never ending.

Hitler's method was better.
