I worry that China was willing to bet on our lack of manufacturing supply chains. By using our past as an example, they assumed (incorrectly) that the American consumers would come back to buying their crap in short order.
Everyone that I know is getting ready to read labels on everything they buy, and if it says “Made in China” they will keep looking.
My in laws in Shanghai have seen the slower business already, and I keep warning them that it will get much worse for them, soon. I tell them to prepare for the old days in China.
Just wait for the Easter spikes in 2-3 weeks all because churches remain open.
Yes, that’s why WHO and Fauci put out all those warnings to the US back in November. Oh, wait, never mind.
We all now know not to prep halfway anymore. We all now know to stay prepped. Who knew, months ago, this was going to last this long. Frankly, we’ll never be rid of it because the US government acted too late and too many of the people are flubros.
We used to laugh at grandma and her 1000 roll stash of tp and paper towels. When we’re allowed to shop for tp like before (if ever), I’m going to be grandma.
FNC - WHO says restricting movement and trade is hurtful.
End WHO!
Our county officials think this is a joke. Churches and tourism is open and operating. I know who I’m not voting for next time and have told them.
Dallas had 63 new cases today and had to have the government ship a bunch of supplies. People aren’t staying home.
Our 5th grader won the grand prize with her quilt at the county fair. Don’t let a little 5th grader beat you. Learn to sew.
Yeah, me too.
Or is that #metoo?
Old bumper sticker: “My child is an Honor Student”
New bumper sticker: “ My child tested negative for covid-19”
The best people can do now is try to get out of personal debt and have their money in something substantial, like land.
Then I hope he has a real come-to-Jesus moment from this thing.
Some fresh produce lasts longer. March 13, I bought longer lasting produce and still have 3 lbs carrots, 2 yellow squash, 2 winter squash, lots of onions and 5 green tomatoes. OK, the green tomatoes aren’t green anymore but but can still be fried and used in other ways. Need to get to eating this or will have to freeze it.
I’ll probably just end up sewing my finger into a dress, since I can’t really see that well any more :D
Thread a needle? Nope, not possible. Impale my finger? Can do!
Congratulations to your young one though! There is a valuable skill to know.
Okay, Dan Bongino has to go too.
Dan, I’m not going to be yelled and cursed at about the economy. No idea why you’re talking to me about it, I’ve lost a bunch of money too. Go yell at elected officials, I’m not interested.
Maybe it's just the trial run.
The great thing is, spring is around the corner here.
I’ve already got some cool weather crops in and growing.
Soon as I can get the garden going in NH, that’s going in with the rest of the stuff.
No international airlines flight hot spot in our county and much of the state, and Ohio “curve” is Flatlined. Biggest numbers, international flights in.
