The consumer chose long ago it wanted cheap over durable/long lasting. Consumers made their choice and here we are. If their was a a large market the other way business would naturally fill the demand.The consumers buy what’s available, and the majority of stuff available is from China. It’s 100% on the corporations.
Really? I know several small business owners who lost their businesses. They were not asked to sacrifice the same as WalMart, Lowe’s, etc.
Now we know that a business can be arbitrarily shut down on the executive order of a governor or local politician. BTW, the rent or mortgages obligations don’t stop.
You want to go to church? Nope.
Take your kids to school? Nope.
Have a large gathering at your house? Nope.
All of the above are just a select few freedoms that were lost where I am. There are many more and the final price to be paid is yet unknown. But it will be high.
As a high risk, immunocompromized person, I thank all of you who have remembered that it's not just about you. Even if no governor had declared any stay at home or quarantine order, my kind world still be SOL.
Mask mandates actually GAVE my kind some freedom back.

That is some some strange version of freedom you believe in.As a high risk, immunocompromized person, I thank all of you who have remembered that it's not just about you.

I wanted insight. If you can't provide, we can simply drop it with no admission you inferred something I didn't type or imply.

I guess as long as you get yours I guess that is all that matters. Who cares how many millions get screwed.
Funny, that's exactly the way I see the other side of the issue. Who cares if I can't leave my house so long as they can pretend everything is alright? Why do I have to be the one with infringed freedom?
Nothing was keeping you from leaving your house, you just needed the proper PPE to protect yourself. You can’t rely on others to protect your delicate arse.
