Buying from China


What do you think the impact will be in buying gear from China in the near future. Will the parts supply chain be depleted. Will part s other then those specify be substituted.? Will wait times for electrics will be extended. I can get pretty paranoid about it. Interested in the options of those with better insights. Should I wait awhile until things settle down befor I place my next order? I imagine things are going to be tough for the small hi end audio manufacturer.

The CCP is the government of China. Yes the CCP allows people to own property and make money. Right up the the point the CCP decides to take peoples property and money. In other words instead of communism in the we all own the property sense, its communism in the you have no real property rights sense.

Things are no different in the US, or Canada, or the UK, or Germany, and so on. Merely a different label, in those specific regards. If they want it, they will take it and they do. More often than you might see it in the news, in the stilted and tilted views of the popular news shows. Eg, if I want truthful western news, I don’t go to western major media to try and see it - that would be a waste of time. 85% of all us journalists were fired in the great purge of the early 2000’s thru the early 2010’s.

The laws changed, with regard to truth vs lies. A Florida woman, an investigative reporter, took Fox to court about lies regarding bovine hormones in milk, a revamped story of hers... it went to the supreme court, and fox escaped it all -by rebranding themselves to being an entertainment company. this cascaded into all the large news and media companies in the us having renamed themselves as ’entertainment’ conglomerates. all news corporations are gone. Seriously. Legally...seriously.

At this point the news legally became a farce and laws about truth telling in news reporting in the US....lost all their teeth. At that point, anything was legal, any sort of lie or fabrication... as it was now legally ’entertainment’. Not news. Look it up, see for yourself. Zero penalties for fabrication and lies as it is now all legally ’entertainment’. Seriously, 110% so. Look it up.

Now it’s just a game, for these ’entertainment’ companies...of riding the edge of perception of this....by the public. the ’news’ as you know it now is not legally required to be truthful. These channels and shows... are all owned by entertainment conglomerates, thus...they are not legally required to tell you any truths, and any lies works, as there is no penalty for misguiding the public. They can be truth telling in some cases or some ways, but with the legal right to mix farce and lies with truth, and no penalties for it. So they really just need enough room to twist things ...just a bit.

And now they have that legal right as it is all entertainment, not news. So they ride the edge of the public perceiving this. News has always been this way, but now, the laws are on their side, the laws have deserted the public, completely. Totally circumvented. No one notices... as the ’entertainment’ companies are careful to work with their ’partners’ regarding this ’situation’.

This is why the us has been knocked down to such a low tier with regard to truth in news, by the global group of watchful journalists. I think the USA is now about 50th on the list, with regard to honesty in news.

If I want the truth on important matters, then I don’t go to western media in the USA. That would be a waste of time.

".....this thread will be gone..."Not unless a snowflake whines about it. Whining; there will be so much whining, you’ll get tired of whining. Yeah. I’m there.
At least In the US you get due process but yeah they can take property for certain reasons. Some of which I don't  agree with I am not pleased with the way they are grabbing land for that brain dead wall. 
If you are pulled over on the interstate and the cops find ten thousand dollars cash in your car, there's a very very good chance they will "suspect" that your money is the proceeds of drug dealing or money laundering or whatever lame reason they can conjure up. And they will take that money as well as your car. Even if you had just come from the bank after taking that money from your account in order to buy a motorcycle from a seller who insisted on cash, you will be victimized by the state and it will take you perhaps several years to prove your innocence. I didn't vote for that. This kind of thing never used to happen until the fear and hate of Bush's global war on terror came along, and with it, the militarization of local cops and sheriff departments. The above scenario does not have a hint of "due process" anywhere in it.
oregonpapa Frank last evening quoted Ayn Rand and espoused his rabid hate and fear for socialism; that made me think about his statement that he started working at age 14 in 1953, which would make him over 80 years old now. I wonder how Frank feels about getting a socialist check in his bank account each month for the past fifteen years and how he would compensate for it were it not forthcoming each month.
