True, the Chinese eat bats and tiger dïcks.


And, yet they still have little yellow peckers...

Why after a 1000 years, these supposedly ultra smart people can’t figure out that an animals foreskin dried, boiled, or eaten like chicken strips ain’t gonna help sink a dink weenie any deeper than 3” into a vagina.

Dumb fûckers if you’re asking...😎

Lost productivity, lost wealth, lost work ethic, lost lives. All because some politicians and businessmen figured out a way to make schidt “cheaper” in China.

Gambling on “cheap” labor and “cheap” products never pays off in the end.

Ask the Egyptians, look at our Civil War, look at our current social issues due to “cheap” labor (both past slave labor and current illegal Hispanic labor), Middle East “cheap” labor in Europe, and “cheap” products the world buys from China. How “cheap” does any of it seem, now???

Uh oh, looks like the numbers aren't adding up....... hmmmm

The IMHE (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation) model for the Coronavirus the White House is relying on is complete garbage.


The US economy has been virtually shut down, unemployment spiked and small businesses are on the verge of shuttering based on faulty projections.

The IMHE model is using New York and New Jersey data and applying it to the rest of the US.

It predicted that over 121,000 Americans would be hospitalized yesterday (Wednesday) over the Coronavirus, Sean Davis of The Federalist said.

The actual number? 31,142.

As of Wednesday there were over 200,000 confirmed Coronavirus cases in the US and approximately 4,400 deaths.

Top White House officials scaled back their predictions and said between 100,000 and 200,000 Americans are projected to die from the Coronavirus.

This is down from the 1.7 million American deaths predicted by a key UK scientist which sent the entire country into panic mode.

Millions and millions of Americans are going to lose their jobs, their homes and their savings.

These so-called “experts” owe the American public an explanation and not just ever-changing models to terrify the masses.

I agree.


Interesting take on things, seeing as how "cheap" or better said, inexpensive labor is kind of a key to our capitalist society. Production of goods at the lowest cost while selling them at the highest margin is something I learned about in grade school.

Is it better to sell x items at a $0.01 profit vs 3x items at a $0.004 profit?

Wal Mart, Dollar General, Bass Pro, ain't in business to provide high quality top dollar good. We can go to LL Bean, and Filson for that...........and they've shifted to lower cost labor overseas in order to keep their margins up too.

The "Unions" screwed the pooch, probably by getting too big, just as many big organizations eventually do. Much of Modern America (post 1900) was built on having a reasonably priced pool of skilled labor (think the "trades") that operated with a journeyman/apprentice model. It provided quality goods, albeit at a somewhat higher cost than the alternative (think Mod 70, old S&W and Colt revolvers).

Can we get back to that model, with labor and management working together toward the same goal? My guess, when this is all over factories might be coerced into moving production back to the US.....................but it's going to cost the consumer, not those folks expecting a dividend on their stocks.

"Gambling on “cheap” labor and “cheap” products never pays off in the end." Unfortunately, it does pay off for some corporations, there's a whole world of them out there.
