I booked my flight with Delta and Korean Air brought me into the US from Seoul South Korea on February 26th.

Korean Air also flies to most major cities in China, including Wuhan. I got on in Bangkok Thailand.

I found it odd that we did not follow the original flight path, but instead bypassed Chinese air space and flew around China over Taiwan.

Smithfield had record earnings in 2019 by shipping cheap US pork to high priced pork in China.

Yes Trump, we will purchase your farm products... what they meant was that they would ship Smithfield pork to China and make $$$ on both ends.

Smithfield was vertically integrated, so China ended up getting lots of prime farmland in the deal.

Right. Seize the property, and sell the plant out to current US companies - cheap.

That doesn’t make economic sense...or practical sense.

Seize the property,


Do you REALLY want our govt to seize the property?

Think for 10 minutes before responding.

After what they’ve done? They are a foreign entity. It’s more like war, and less like business to me. It was a bad idea selling Smithfield to the Chinese. I said it back then and I still believe it.

We seized and sold German properties in both World Wars, ask Bayer and Bosch about their US assets.

>>Couldn’t kill us all with the virus<<

For many business owners it took their livelyhood away. It was like an execution for them. Their lives were over.

Yeah, I bloody well do. We did it to Iran too. We seized their assets. Do you honestly believe they are equivalent to some struggling American mom and pop business? The government already seizes property when they deem it a danger to public safety. It’s not that big of a jump.

That was after Chinese management visited the plant and passed the virus to the plant employees.

Intentional?
