    are you saying people like Trump would not stop hiring illegals if it was a felony with mandatory time and mandatory confiscation of all their property and funds?

    I say your wrong

    but you are right, cheap labor is like a drug to the greedy rich - some would still use it

    this is true, but greedy corps decide to use it or not

    excessive foreign outsourcing and foreign imports are a national security risk to this country

    the worst thing is this cheap foreign stuff doesn't last, i would take an old fashion washing machine any day over the new junk

    they even make cell phones now so you can't change the battery, why, so you have to buy them again when the battery wears out - corps want stuff to be disposable

    The elites do not care. They are ok with the American people suffering via globalism. Their kids and families are untouched by it. They have and will continue to let in the third world and outsource jobs. My family has been paying taxes here since this country was founded in addition to fighting in every war. I don't think my forefathers would be to happy with what has become of the country they helped create. God help the elites if a violent nationalist populist movement ever emerges.

    Maybe the virus got exported to Mexico from the US?
    The US is in the massive red zone. The place where people die all over from Corona.

    I hate saying this but you can't get a Maytag made in Newton, Iowa, anymore, nor made in Illinois or Tennessee. Their appliances always were more, but they were very, very reliable. Maytag began to fail in 1997 due to bad engineering designs to compete on price, and bad management. Then the takeover artists plagued them, and Whirlpool took them out in 2006, and the Newton plant immediately was closed with loss of 4000 jobs. Whirlpool is controlled by Haier of China.

    Our 1995 Maytag washer lasted 25 years with no problems at all, but the cost of repair parts was really high now, and soon there will be no parts for the old ones. The thing weighed a ton. The snubber system for the spin cycle failed. A friend who does appliance repair took it for parts.

    yep, they use plastic gears now and stuff, they do not want them to last that long, if they do, they consider it a failure and stop selling them

    used to be a family would slowly buy the things they needed or get hand-me-downs and relatives\friends would buy new, now stuff doesn't last, so once they have paid off, it breaks, and they have to buy it again, they never catch up

    Actually only Italy and we are weeks from even the peak. And in some cases like FL the peak Isn’t till mid May with more total deaths after the peak than before.

    And of course it does appear his partial halting of flights did nothing to stop the virus from coming to the US.

    My error. I forgot that Trump told us he isn’t responsible for anything.

    My grandmother's 1937 Maytag wringer washer is probably still running somewhere. I don't know what happened to it after my uncle's wife died in 1979, but she used it until then. That machine did require your full attention when using the wringer, and you had to keep kids away from it. But it beat using the old washboard.

    You were simply wrong about the US having the highest number of corona virus deaths, both on a per capita and absolute basis.

    Do not try to obfuscate that fact by making predictions. It makes it look like you are rooting for the virus to make Trump look bad.

    Yep and mainly because both the Communist Chinese and WHO lied about the infectious nature of the virus and so forth, and so by the time that Trump knew to do anything, returning travelers were already inside the United States. I keep telling you that if you listen to leftist only news outlets you are only ever going to end up with -- at best -- fifty percent of the actual information.

    I would be elated if the Mexican Army secured their northern border and let nobody pass in or out. But it would take half of their army to do it. That's a big commitment.

    Your post is confusing.

    As to your opening sentence, that thought have never gone through my mind in my life. So, no, I am not saying that.

    He continued the fraudulent GWOT. He continued and enthusiastically engaged in war crimes by way of drone.

    Any claims to integrity on his part are false claims. Any claims to moral high ground on his part are false. He is no different in criminality or violation of his oath of office than his predecessor and his successor.

    Continuing a series of immoral and illegal actions are tantamount to starting a war. If he wanted some moral high ground he should have ended the whole thing, but he didn't.

    Could you explain what "per capita" means?

    I have a theory.

    Do you seriously think this thing isn't burning through Mexico already? Do you think it hit the wall at the US's southern border and stopped?

    Well, you've already acknowledged you were wrong when you wrote this:
    So I suppose most of what follows is already a little redundant, but I'm intrigued to understand how you've become so fundamentally mistaken about a basic fact. Let's start with reality: Spain has more deaths from the Chinese virus than the USA. As a source, I offer RCP's coronavirus tracker. It shows, as of this writing, that Spain has 13,169 deaths while the USA has 10,516. Did you not know this? Or did you know, and you were hoping nobody would call you on your BS? Or did you really believe what you wrote? If so, how did you come to that mistaken belief? Was it something you heard in conversation with your liberal friends? Did you read it on Twitter? Facebook? Hear it from a media reporter? How did you come to hold such a mistaken view of the world?
