Covid-19

In general, Americans have a short attention span and get bored with "news" and things fairly quickly.

We've really only been dealing with COVID-19 for a few weeks. Another thread got me thinking, as the virus continues, etc. and the weather gets warmer, I wonder how much longer it will be before people really tire of it (hearing the news, seeing running counts, etc.) and start saying, "Fuck it, I'm just gonna do start my own thing again?"

That probably happens at some point, right? Wonder what that looks like/how that plays out.

It will happen more than it is currently happening. Normalcy bias + attention span of a gnat.

Not helping us sweetie, even though we’re part of Asia. Our Foreign Investment Review Board set a low bar in dollar terms so a foreign entity could buy into critical infrastructure here. The bar as of yesterday is now zero. I guess the PRC will have to look elsewhere.

I thought Australia was its own continent. Did something change?
 
Was looking through a bunch of stuff earlier. The World took COVID-19 relatively seriously very early on when it came to giving aid to China. Well...guess we needed all those supplies.

Guess whose facing shortages due to China's heavy involvement in supplying the drug trade? :ROFLMAO:

Mexican drug cartels struggle during coronavirus, hike prices as lab supplies from China dry up

If anything, this is more proof that China has been using organized crime groups as proxies for their war against us and our allies. Covid-19 is turning out to be the canary in the coal mine, when it comes to global Chicom involvement and dirty deeds. Fuck you China.

Yep...nothing like a good crisis to allow the "puke of the world" to rise to the top and show their true colors.

Yep. Anything the Chicoms touch pretty much turns into garbage. Between destabilizing the Middle East, supporting organized crime, stealing our IP, and waging unabashed PSYOP campaigns on us, I'm amazed people haven't caught on earlier.

Still makes me angry that my college colleagues insinuated I was a racist for calling out the spread of Chinese influence. At the end of this pandemic, when the bodies and losses are counted, I think people are going to be baying for rivers of Chicom blood.

It is the general public you're talking about... ;-)

China owns the media, and the set the tone.
Some will be pissed, diehard socialists will just say it was necessary to sacrifice for the cause.

Not to kill the buzz, but for most of the 20th century we looked to Europe & mother England for many things. Our PM Hawke saw Asia emerging as a great economic opportunity & commenced the swing away from the UK et. al. to join this huge growth area.

When you look at how misinformed the public is one cannot help but sigh in disbelief and shame.

How would they know? Upsetting the Chinese is a death blow to infotainment, Hollywood, and the NBA.

If anything this proves that infotainment, Hollywood, and the NBA, are a bunch of whores that sold the rest of us out for commie greenbacks.

Well then it looks the media is an enemy of the United States; a media apparatus that acts like Pakistan isn't a friend. As for the diehard socialists who see fit to sacrifice us, they should be sacrificed instead. It's getting to the point that if we don't deal with the Chicoms ideological cheerleaders we're liable to end up in chains, camps, or shallow ditches.


From an evolutionary standpoint in regards to competing civilizations, I just don't see the PRC and the USA existing together. I think China's viral gift to the world proves they're not fit to be a player on the world stage. China and their socialist cheerleaders herald doom for the rest of us and risks the species transitioning successfully towards space exploration.

Just another Asian Island, like Java, Borneo, Timor or Hokkaido.
No you're correct, we're not part of Asia, we're on our own continental plate, but like QCB said, we've been conditioned to consider ourselves as part of Asia. We're close enough to peg rocks at Indonesia, the bulk of our trade is to our direct North, and there's been a lot of work done to get our selves accepted into that community.

So all of you are real short?
