I work in shipping and there is NOTHING coming in from China for the past couple weeks. The lag time from China ports to the west coast is hitting hard and is just about to start hitting the east coast too. This shit is going to hit A LOT of jobs hard and quickly too. Think dockworkers, warehouse workers, Customs house brokers, TRUCKERS especially, all the security/police for all of the above, etc. etc. etc.

Shit's getting fucked out there bros.

Interesting. The business where I work off my parole gets all its parts from china. When their buffer storage is empty, maybe I'll not have to work anymore? No, I doubt it. I will probably just be forced to work in a laundry instead, washing infected hospital textiles.

most of the firms are either on the publicly traded on the stock market, so ultimately owned by the pension funds, hence the average joe will get the bill when ti all collapses.

This is the great reset and should be celebrated not feared. Short term pain for long term gain. China has chinked itself.

Yes, china is a pain in the ass. I would welcome it if their population was reduced by 90% or more.

Yes, if china lost its power I would be happy, because they would not be able to force my government to conform to their wishes.
