This was kind of inevitable. I am a simple man, but you don't have to hit me over the head with a tire iron for me to understand that when a nation stops manufacturing almost everything, to save a buck, and becomes dependent on other nations with whom they are often in conflict with, sooner or later... that is gonna bite you in the ass.
Especially when you consider that everything that is produced in China, is in some way shape or form, controlled by the CCP.
Hell, forget cell phones and pagers, they could spray poisons on clothing that activates at body temp, and kill thousands before we figured it out.., with one shipment of Levis... or Lulu Lemons... Think about that... the fattys would die first because they heat up faster...all the fat chicks in yoga pants...poof.
Or create a chip that will allow a remote user to gain control of a vehicle. Accelerate every late model Kia at top speed.... and disable the breaks. I saw it in a movie.. but it was Teslas. As someone who has a signifigant commute, I hope it's Kia. Especially Tellurides. Who the f*** buys a $70,000 Kia? I bet you can guess who.
Maybe the silver lining in all of this will be all the fat chicks are gone, as well as Kia drivers, and we will finally bring manufacturing and manufacturing jobs, back where they belong.
