Are we talking about the truth, and science? If 100% of scientists have proven the ways in which the spread of COVID19 can be reduced (masks, testing quarantine, &c), is it OK for me to listen to them? Should I listen to someone who provides no scientific evidence for his/her claims? Should I also value illogical assessments and accusations? Do you want a society run by people who can say and do anything without any reason or justification? Wouldn't that lead to an authoritarian polity in which only the wealthy .01% control everything? Would any of that benefit you?

    Absolutely. (I'm surprised to read this sensible argument on this website. And much of the West has already sold to the East.)

    What many of the dumbasses don't realize is that when their shit sinks many businesses here, the Chinese are just going to buy everything up.

    And that may have been the plan all along. I knew this was coming for years. It's a shame. We can only go up from here, I guess. Shit was out of control for too long, TBH.

    A lot of the problem with capitalist nations is that it weakens the power of the government to make big business powerful. People are led to believe they are empowered and run things when in fact, it's the corporations that really run the show. China knew this and took advantage of that. You have an uneducated population who have been conditioned to believe they don't need to listen to authority anymore; this was pretty much the result.

    Things are changing a LOT after COVID is over. Hopefully, Americans still will have a say about how things are run.
