Nice try to cover by confusing the issue.
I have confused nothing.
Let's see,here. Trump is a tyrant because he cut down the supply of slave labor items coming in from the largest slave nation in history,and your money loss is more important than fighting slave labor?
MY money loss? Not so much. EVERYBODY's money loss? Oh hell yeah. Tumpy was a tyrant to shut down shipping, hell yes.
Like I said, different story if there was some alternative available, but there IS no alternative. I am not talking about buying cheap parts, I am talking about ONLY parts. It ain't that I could go buy them elsewhere. There is no elsewhere.
Try to find an American made water pump for a 350 Chevy. Go ahead and try. It does not exist. And even if you do, the bearings within it and the impeller will be made in China.
China is now "American ground"?
No, but Ports and ports of entry are. And he shut them OFF.
You are NOT a slave and NOBODY was forcing you to work doing computer repairs,so yeah,it WAS selfish.
Look, I am foremost a tinker.
When I could no longer make on pooters, I switched over to smalls - no parts. I switched to small engine - No parts. Hell, I even flipped cars... No parts. In every case, I was slamming used crap together just to get it to fly. And that for half of what I could make with parts available, and with a whole lot more running around, and time taking shit off in boneyards.
So you don't know a damn thing you're talking about. There is no repair of any kind that can be supplied without China. There is no tools that can be had without China. It's just a fact.
Kinda a moot issue at this point due to your health and ability to get around,though.
I am back to fixing smalls too, alongside of electronics. But the parts system has yet to recover fully. The damage done by Tumpy and COVID was a devastation. I am shooting to get my small engine operation back up for spring... But I am behind $1500 bucks in back-ordered parts and sundries before I can even start... All already paid for, and waiting on. It's STILL terrible in the parts systems.
And my income is a tenth of what it was before, if even that. And even as my health returns, that ain't getting better.
