Opportunity knocks! Where would you get the fabric from to do it? It’s all made in China or other Asian countries. Plus fabric wouldn’t keep out viruses. Fabric used to come from mills in Virginia and North Carolina because this is where cotton grows. We may go a decade without new clothes--who actually cares but shallow people that are only about appearances. Guess what--they do not matter and can die off and none will miss them. They do not contribute by creating things that are useful to feed, repair, fight, or heal and are literally the definition of a useless eater. We can deal with no fashion or new clothes for a decade because appearances do not matter.

The fact that you say that reveals that you are a retard of no substance to counter with any logic a zombie like the Libs only a different flavour of zombie. I don't have to step in human shit as Canada unlike the USA is not bankrupt yet and can afford to maintain its infastructure. Ok retard, now why don't you consider reality. As holding your breath and spouting Trump will save me s he is better than Clinton or Obama isn't working very well for you, is it, in this 3D where you live? Wow! So many words and yet such little coherance. Kinda' sums up Canada on many levels. What do you not understand ? Basically If Trump cared he would not support China in his business and lie about it to you... right. Like if he followed Jesus he would not own casinos to steal money and encourage a gambling addiction right ? Do you wish to discuss this logically or just leave a verbal meme ? Here's ONE thing I understand, Sport: your reality is another man's fantasy. In the "real" world, there are gears within gears within gears within gears and unless they all mesh the entire system grinds to a halt. Saying that he "lied to us" are just empty words unless you can prove it and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find it enjoyable to see you try to do just that. Suggesting that President Trump magically knew about this impending crisis when he brokered those Chinese trade agreements is simply ludicrous but still somehow cemented in a superior mind like you imagine your own to be. At least our leader has tried for the past three years to make our country self-sustaining - what's your own pretty-boy Justine done for YOU? So, answer this: how many Chinese imports are floating around Canada right now and what makes you think for one second that your own nation won't shutter factories? You're pretty arrogant coming from such a huge landmass that somehow has never been considered a super power... but then, you ARE Canadian and can do no wrong, RIGHT? If 911 occurs in Canada there will be a problem or if a man used a woman's bathroom where I live. My point was simply that it's a lie that Trump is pro USA and makes your country weaker by being a part of the SWAMP system. If I say I am making building the Canadian economy by supporting shit made in another country an I not a liar ? It's simple in 3D reality to me. 4D Trump magic. Grow a brain. wmMmw |

That is my arm now; broken for 7 months User ID: 74720192 United States 02/22/2020 07:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Imagine if you have no food in grocery stores for a few months ....what will you do once your pantry runs bare? People are going to lose their shit big time! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75890110 We will truck in grain, beans, etc. to the cities. If there is one miller and baker, we can provide basic food for millions of people. My Wife is from a country that suffered a ruinous civil war. Her father was an entrepreneur. Suddenly, one day the stores were empty! The people panicked. Her father rented a big truck and took his stash of bills. Went to the next country over and filled the truck with rice, beans, masa, etc. Came home and saved the people while turning a nice profit. THAT is what will happen in the USA. I have decided that if cash is worthless, I will trade produce from my farm for things of value. You want a bowl of beans and rice for lunch? Costs one gallon of gas or diesel, or a couple of pounds of copper pipe, or whatever I can use. We need to think about positive ways we can survive together. You are wise and prepared. The millenials that cannot repair a car, sink a well, build a home generator out of an old washing machine tub and motor to power a home, or cover a building with a roof will have no place, and we really won't lose any part of humanity that matters when they suicide behind their loss of social media or their snappy chats. Maybe they can share photos of themselves starving rather than strutting their Chinese crap fashions they formerly purchased. Better yet that conceited fashionista with implants and botox can pick up a shovel and start digging a garden or her own grave. Either one will benefit humanity.

Quoting: Mental Case Could be a problem at your next oil change. Some are. Some aren't. Most of the oil filters I sell are made in the USA. But the constituent parts inside of them? Who knows? Same with tires. There are a lot of tires made in the US (Bridgestone/Firestone makes truck, bus and passenger service radials here) but the actual rubber comes from SE Asia (Vietnam) and the synthetic rubber from USA. So a mixed bag on tires and a few other niche industries. On the whole I’m in total agreement: we’ve relied on China way too much for way too long. Short of a Manhattan Project effort, it’d take us a while to come back online fully, and even then we’re still somewhat reliant on foreign export. It wouldn’t be near as much as it is now, but somewhat. Bring manufacturing back to the States! |

If the virus doesn't get you society collapsing will... Wouldnt this be an opportunity for USA to fill in some of the gaps... Ie expand manufacturing to cover shortfall?? Any country NOW would be able to cash in to some extent?? Of course prices would go up!! I think it would take 10 years to tool back up our manufacturing... Most of the equipment has been shipped to china long ago. I'm glad you realize how long it takes to retool. Tired of ppl actin like you can ship a factory back to USA from China, boom, done. 70% success rate in magick |

Life is going to get much tougher. If you live in snow country, make sure that includes winter boots in ascending sizes. If money is a factor, go to the thrift store. Deseret LDS thrift stores generally have very high quality stuff, if there is one in your area. If things don't end up being so bad, the clothes can still be used as the kids grow into them. I went to the dollar store and bought ten of those reader glasses in various strengths. They will be good for barter. Last run to Costco will be Monday. |

They are the same. Only Trump is not as gay, but identical. If Trump or Trudeau cared they would ban GMO, fagottry, controll immigration and not give millions to other nations before their own. Right ? The reality is that the USA and Canada's executive teams are shit compared to Russia. Trump is more concerned with Israel and building a temple and those that stroke his ego. What is he doing about the obvious swamp, the debt, sending troops home ? But Hillary would be better...??? There is not one leader among your political system worthy of voting for, that is the only reason (based on evidence) that Trump gets voted in. But they all are obvious SWAMP. But Trump is the Chosen One to lead the peop,e to Greenland ? He isn't even a good troll, only his base lacks the logic to identify this. If any other leader did what Trump does they would call him a retard. Imagine Putin saying " I am the Chosen one" imagine Putin groping Gulliani dressed in drag like a queer. Your 3D grandmastery is obvious. Your forefathers laugh at you. If you are counting on Trump for MAGA how will he do it ? Give me the plan. wmMmw |

For anyone that is feeling trapped in the city, put on your thinking cap and see if there is a way for you to get out of Dodge ASAP, this is not a drill. I thank God I moved up here 3 years ago. I've made good friendships, learned the local weather, roads and mountains, and added greatly to my preps. Currently planning my garden for maximum output and storage potential. The weather today was 49°F (we consider that warm) and even if you just showed up in a travel trailer, you would be fine until October. I have a friend from the Bay Area who moved up here with a trailer and parked it in his friends barn. He was fine through the winters, plugged in to the electricity in the barn. Six months later he had a job at the Sheriff's Department. Having a portable home would allow you to get out quickly, and give you a chance to sort things out, meet like minded people, find some work. Bring your food preps, guns & ammo, any skills you have. It's almost impossible to find rentals up here, as many of the locals are unable to buy due to not being able to save up enough $$ for a down payment to buy. I used to live in Orange County. If I were still there, I would take out a bank loan and buy this 24 ft. travel trailer for $5,800: [link to orangecounty.craigslist.org (secure)] and make payments to the bank for as long as I could. World economy is going to crash anyway. Then I would head north as fast as I could pedal.

Actually infrastructure support parts would be priority. Modern 3-d printing and table top six axis mills are toys now. Prototypes of complex items are many times next day. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77392573 Most of Chinese output is hoarder crap, Many other countries make transformers, fiber optics, car parts, but the US still has super powers. I have dismal luck with anything with china components. Mexico sucks too. But.... if trash trucks are used to remove the dead from the streets and metro areas burn, what good is on time delivery. what they fail to realize is the greedy CEO's will NOT build factories and pay higher wages. that would cut into their progfits and sales. let me explain. how long is the MSM saying CHINA is down for? they haven't. they are saying it is fine and CHINA will b up and producing in no time. so the CEO's think if they just wait a few weeks or even a month, everything will b fine. so why would they even try to build factories and pay us higher wages ??? now u might see some factories changed over to produce medical supplies. as some pointed out this will b switched to other countries until they get infected also. if u are locked up at home how much $$ are u making to spend follishly on their knick nacks? $0. no demand = no need to produce it. as i have point out before some things are needed. medical supplies and medicine is a small part of it. food is another. PACKAGING for those items is a biggy. nothing is trucked without it being boxed,bottled,shrink wrapped,etc. where is these materials coming from? our recycling ships to China,they recycle the trash,and use it to package new stuff.see a problem? this cahin is broken. JAZZZ50 2020 The SHTF literally as TP ran out. we went from being over the target, to actually being the target. too close to the truth. if i had a dollar for everytime someone says "merge" without using the word, i'd b so green i'd b King of Mars. |
