Oh yeah??
Americans like to be comfortable and do not like to make sacrifices.
Tell there will be no smart tv sets for a couple of years, or TikTok, or new cars, or a fucking iPhone every 10 months. How about refrigerators, stoves, even my washing machine is a smart unit and has plenty of Chinese technology. Graphic design apps, MacBooks and laptops, gps systems we use for farming and police dispatching.
Capitalism drives toward cheaper production costs to maximize profits. Labor is a huge one. It’s just cheaper to make so much in China and ship it here. Not just almost everything in your house but parts of your house itself.
Our farmers sell a lot of food and our Oil Companies sell a lot of oil to China.
Make no doubt it’s a two way fucking when it comes to the economy. China can tell its people to stfu and deal with it but, you cannot do that to Americans. Look at the reaction with the supply chain was falling short.
We are an entitle nation.
Fuck I’m ranting like an old curmudgeon
