Great article and absolutely true.

I’m as guilty as anyone for “sending” manufacturing to China. When I was younger and purchased a lot of clothing, why would I spend $50 on a Creighton shirt manufactured in Reidsville NC when I could get two shirts, made in China, for the same $$?

Now I see why I should’ve spent the $50 on one NC-made shirt.

Note...Creighton DID have a great outlet store in Reidsville that sold discounted seconds. I made that trip from Charlotte a few times! There was also a “real” manufacturer’s outlet store on South Boulevard, here in town, that sold alpaca sweater “seconds” CHEAP. Don’t remember the American manufacturer name. Funny thing is...that place was eventually torn down...and a titty bar was built in approximately the same spot.

“””’when I see ‘stripper’ in the title I come for the pics.”””

Once you’ve seen one set of boobies........you pretty much want to see them all.

STOP BUYING CHINESE COMMUNIST CRAP.

That might be the one good thing that comes out of our imprisonment.

I didn’t write it, but I thought it was a good story of what is going on.

Perhaps you can ping the author on his site or Twitter (handle is: personified).

Every individual did it to themselves.

You don’t have to eat poison because someone hands it to you.

And if our side (including us) didn’t act like frightened b.tches for the last 30 years it might not have happened.

I thought it was a good story, but the author needs to keep the original story line going and then weave his message into that.

People, the girl in this case, are always more interesting than the moral of the story. She needs to be front and center.

Business leaders also and let’s not forget ourselves. Is there anyone who hasn’t shopped at walmart? People were right to boycott walmart years ago when they were killing every small town they opened up near. Once the walmart business model became accepted, everyone did it. All the old name brands that used to be high quality are now chinajunk. Clothing went the way of foreign sweatshops decades ago and now it’s everything. Appliances, tools, auto parts, home furnishings etc etc.

Crimes such as this are not committed only by people of two-digit IQ’s. Some of the shadiest people I’ve known were smart but played stupid.

We need a deluxe, hard driving, persistent, ad council on steroids, to encourage people to BUY AMERICAN!

Screw globalism. Buy American only, even it it means more expensive. It evens out in the long run. 600K and rising homeless is BS.

This needs to go on the conservative platform.

The giant sucking sound Ross Perot talked about needs to be heard in reverse...... all the factories leaving China and repatriated to their corporate origins. China needs to be quarantined to a midevil backwards economic dumpster fire.

Don’t forget the other half of the story. We have millions of illegals lowering the wages of that these people could be making. The US sold these people out. They are in the middle of selling the middle class out with the H1B crap.

If this virus leaves us with only two words, they should be “BOYCOTT” and “CHINA.”

And if the left considers that a “hate crime” screw them. The Chinese screwed up our country, are killing our people - and a couple of hundred OTHER countries as well. The LEAST we can do is worm our way out of our entanglements with their disgusting country - and if that means I have to pay twice as much for a shirt, so be it - at least that shirt would be MADE IN AMERICA and LAST twice as long as the garbage coming out of China.

Ghettoes, opioids, crank, meth, fentanyl, addictions, no commerce..... China.

These are all just symptoms, not the disease. Nature abhors a vacuum and when God is pushed out of our lives, this is just what fills the empty space left behind. The disease is the rejection of God and even more specifically, not inviting Christ into our lives to be our Saviour!
