The rich are hoping this is the great culling.
Iran is the most interesting obvious scenario for me.
All of the politicians in power are highly susceptible to this disease. The country is overall very young.
The political ramifications here are pretty interesting.

Lot of Fake News going around - white supremecists are coming - MS13 Gangs are showing up in neighborhoods ....yada yada yadi....


Id be more worried about these cocksuckers running the country looking to arrest-detain-hold indefinitely then all the boogeymen the media are trying to pump up.

They are trying to snatch away the little remaining freedoms left.

If any of this is true, it's worth being concerned about. Just because the government is passing some fuckery around doesn't me folks shouldn't be concerned about other assholes taking advantage of the situation.

A failure of national security is what it is
Global supply chain is not reliable and that isn't a hard thing to predict

It is on USA more than it is on China...USA moved production outside the borders

Should have months of important supplies and meds stockpiled for cases like this at the least, the wise move is to keep production inside of borders or at the least not across seas.
We gon learn today.

This sounds like common sense, but it's really not for two main reasons.

Without fundamentally transforming the US economy, something dipshit Bolton doesn't support, you are still going to be getting cheap shit manufactured in other countries. It's not just that moving the entire supply chain within the borders of the US would make goods ridiculously expensive for American consumers, which would put a massive weight on the economy in its own right, it's that the entire debt and speculation-based financial system you've established through a decade of cheap credit could not handle the inflation it would cause. You saw what happened when the Fed raised interest rates just a little bit - markets would shit their pants if proper inflation kicked in and interest rates had to rise.

And by the time China is actually a real potential 'adversary' (in terms of a threat), if that ever even happens, it too will be getting supplied by cheap manufacturing elsewhere, not supplying it all to the US. There's no threat whatsoever to stuff being manufactured in China for the foreseeable future and by the time it becomes a threat, then it won't be a major problem in the first place because the supply chains will have already shifted.

But Trump said it was the magic bullet! It's game changing!
Psssssh, that guy is just a Doctor, what does he know? Trump has the best words, perfect letters and phone calls, and a super smart uncle who may or may not have pumped him full of smart fluids to give him brain..... No lowly "Doctor" can top that.

Guys I know NYC is important for the economy but I think it's time we considered a mass culling of the population

Give them a few years and they all be living in Florida. :cool:
I really should've kickstarted my plan the other day by not warning that New Yorker about getting too close to a baby alligator (he wanted to get right up to it and was oblivious that mother alligators protect their young).
