We are at war and people will get up to speed soon enough.
Those are 100% legitimate questions to ask
"piles on to a devastating year for farmers, who have struggled through record flooding and an extreme heat wave that destroyed crop yields, and trade war escalations that have lowered prices and profits this year. "
That statement shows a complete lack of economic understanding. What is it- a shortage of products or a shortage of customers? A flood makes products more scarce, and raises prices.
It’s asymmetric warfare using the Covid-19 as a weapon.
Isn’t the shut down more to blame for harm to farmers?
Otherwise, we are WAY to dependent on a COMMUNIST country that has no qualms about KILLING it’s own people..why would they give a fig about foreigners (U.S)?
FOREMOST get Pharma, Med and anything health related manufacturing out of China.
US trade reps must get hustling to find agriculture customers for our farm produce pronto. All indicators point to a dry up of Chinese markets. There is no time to waste.
We are disengaging with China and switching over to India on quite a few things.
Not too good of news to the beef ranchers.
The art of the deal.
OLD news is right. An old Chinese threat. They like to threaten.
I have been trying to rid myself from conspiracy theories. I picked the wrong time. I think most of America has sold its soul to China because money rotted their core. I am beginning to believe this virus was done on purpose. The penalty for that is very unsettling but we need not worry because NOTHING will ever be done. The joke is on us.
IMHO, it’s a valid question and one which popped into the minds of every independent-thinking Conservative everywhere.
What’s a few million Chinese lives, measured from the CCP model of Mao?
Curiously, no epidemiologist is studying China which SHOULD, statistically, be experiencing a like degree of spread outside of Hubei Province. They failed to intervene and stop travel for their New Year celebrations, so the virus should have hit nearly ALL of their provinces and should be spreading like it did in Wuhan; it is not and neither are there country-wide lockdowns as they’ve implemented in Wuhan.
Then again, since our intelligence is both so bad on China and unwilling to talk publicly about it, they could be hiding the true effects as many have hypothesized.
One key observation I made early on: This virus seems to be far more deadly to those in industrialized nations. Absent race demographics, one could only speculate in that respect, but the nature of this virus favoring hosts with generous ACE2 seems far too convenient for my logical mind...
Well when a nation attacks you with a bio-warfare agent things happen that are negative.
A farmer who put all his eggs in one basket for foreign markets is like a stock trader who did alike with shares.
It has nothing to do with Trump: A fool is born every second.
Many of you are finally getting it. The evidence is becoming obvious is it not?
Selling food to a Communist country is like selling him the rocks in your yard, to throw back at you.
Russia turned wheat to a biological agent.
BIO VIRUS. 12 plants whose labor speaks 40 langues, just not ENGLISH have the virus, meat destroyed. Milk dumped, CARGILL slaughtered 5 chicken/eggs farm more to come ‘chinese owned’, farmers need to plant less next year, beef ranchers are next, fewer breed of beef and pork, it cost to feed a non producing animal. You slaughter them. tons of potatoes to be plowed under. Baby formula, diapers rationed more than TP is. No frozen or little frozen veggies/fruit. Ever see a empty FF Isle? Even dog food kibble is in short supply.
GREAT DEPRESSION 2.
