Our View

It's been over three full years since the outbreak of Covid-19. The Chinese may deny COVID-19's origin, but they will never convince me that's the truth because my friend Kun from China told me there was a virus in China that was resistant to drugs at the beginning of November 2019. 

Instead of shutting down air traffic, the Chinese allowed its people to fly all over the world — spreading the virus — and continued to let its people travel all over the world as the pandemic continued to spread. 

The virus quickly hit Europe due to all the Chinese workers, like the Italian garment industry, which was decimated by Covid. As US cities shut down, I knew there were going to be serious implications, from violent street protests to shutting down the economy, schools, businesses, airlines, sports, restaurants, theaters — everything.

You can't tell me the Chinese state planners didn't know it was the best way to take down the No. 1 world economy, the USA. We were already in a war of words over the constant militarization of the South China Sea, currency manipulation, and the theft of the US's intellectual property. Then COVID-19 only magnified the problems. 

I think the damage COVID has caused will be here forever. I can't pretend to know everything but, when we grew up we wanted to work, we wanted to make money and provide for our families. But nowadays there are things like Woke and/or DEI, social justice where you go on vacation for two weeks and you come back and someone is living in your house. Like BLM, I think a lot of this will come to pass, but I also think the general public has been damaged by health or money problems. I'm not exactly sure where I am going with this other than to say we live in a crazy, mixed-up world that is constantly evolving, the question is into what?
