####ing gross.
I couldn’t disagree more with this stance. At what point do we decide that an economy that relies on blatantly criminal participants is one that needs rework? We were willing to decimate sectors in the name of Covid, but we’re willing to let the guys with the knife at our throats carry on so they don’t cut our head right off? I don’t buy it.

These are not new. These were are all there when we entered the Chinese market. I guess we were hoping our dollars would turn China democratic. Instead they only turned hyper-capitalist and used it on us.
You are right. We shut down due to a medical risk, but not a moral one.
