      I hope China gives up on Zero Covid, because if the CCP sticks to its strategy, we're all going to be in a lot of trouble as supply chains seize up again.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1482571074583805953 …

      Beijing has reported its first local omicron infection, according to state media, weeks before the Winter Olympic Games are due to start. The infected person lives and works in the city’s northwestern district of Haidian. http://apne.ws/g5EQGeZ

      From your point of view, wouldn't this have long-term benefits even at a steep short term cost (i.e. forcing the creation of alternative supply chains?)

      Kind of like saying an atomic bomb going off is nice because it offers the chance to rebuild. Who knows what happens when we don't have any medicine or electronics?

      Fair point. I'm just trying to think through what the impact of this is going to be.

          I have a spreadsheet of firms complaining about sole source dependencies on China. The list of product categories is long.

          Jeet, comparing the misery and mass death of atomic explosions to being inconvenienced by a lack of just-in-time supply chains is not remotely a fair point.

          Is it a fair point? America lead the way on GATT. Bill Clinton forced China to join GATT. American corporations outsourced manufacturing as soon as GATT was signed, and not long after China joined it was all in China. Bad idea?

          "Fair point"? You're discrediting yourself almost as badly as Stoller is.
