Someone in the comments pointed out how the US media has been swooning over the "hospital built in 5 days" (that actually took 15 and isn't even done and leaks like a sieve) and compared that to the US churning out a liberty ship every two days

And a B17 every hour.

That is a weird analogy, it wasn't like one plant or shipyard was cranking them out at that rate. That was an average across multiple manufacturing
sites.

China can build infrastructure really quickly, yes it falls apart in a couple of years but that keeps them all employed anyway.
 
brasstax is probably one of the more insufferable boomers here who has to post every dumb fucking boomer thought he conceives here

effort and cringe
 
My only hope and prayer is that Brasstax's posting drives away all the say nothing do nothing above it all snobs... like that jew said; creatures of SouthPark. heheh

I have always been able to clear a room. I find that when everyone leaves, there is a brief moment of peace and quiet for those that are left.

For instance, as a proud Boomer and Father - I could walk into the living room and ask "Hey! Who wants help with their homework?" - boom - room empty.

This runs on the men's side of my family. My dad and uncle were masters. Long years as teachers.

My uncle worked with behaviorally challenged or whatever they call bad kids these days.

The worst of the worst. They would end up in his class.

His strategy? Simple. He figured out that they all hated to hear an old man talk. So, he broke classes down to 20 minutes each. If you made it through 2 20 minute classes without causing a ruckus, you could go right out the classroom door to the field out back and do whatever you wanted in plain view of the others. The "others" had to sit and listen to him talk old man talk for 20 minutes. A fate worse than death for most. He is a good man. Vietnam vet. Coach. Teacher. He would tell stories about all his experience etc.

Not only did kids behave to avoid him and go goof around outside, but - after awhile, a good percentage of the kids would choose to listen to him instead of going out back. Not all, but enough that it made a huge difference. These were the kids that he was truly helping and in turn they influenced others. They just didn't know it. ;)

But this is what I think is going to be the most impressive.

Coronavirus Outbreak Exposes China’s Monopoly on U.S. Drug, Medical Supplies
The coronavirus outbreak has exposed the United States’ dangerous dependence on China for pharmaceutical and medical supplies, including an estimated 97 percent of all antibiotics and 80 percent of the active pharmaceutical ingredients needed to produce drugs in the United States.

The economic repercussions of the coronavirus reveal the dangers of allowing one country to have a near monopoly on global manufacturing, David Dayen explains in an article at the American Prospect:
A substantial number of the materials needed for defense and electronic systems come from China, and that nation is “the single or sole supplier for a number of specialty chemicals,” according to a recent Defense Department report.
[...]

China produces and exports a large amount of pharmaceuticals to the U.S., including 97 percent of all antibiotics and 80 percent of the active ingredients used to make drugs here. Penicillin, ibuprofen, and aspirin largely come from China.
[...]​
In testimony yesterday before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Scott Gottlieb, a physician and the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner in the Trump administration, explained in detail the extent of the U.S. pharmaceutical industry’s dependence on China:
About 40 percent of generic drugs sold in the U.S. have only a single manufacturer. A significant supply chain disruption could cause shortages for some of many of these products.

Last year, manufacturing of intermediate or finished goods in China, as well as pharmaceutical source material, accounted for 95 percent of U.S. imports of ibuprofen, 91 percent of U.S. imports of hydrocortisone, 70 percent of U.S. imports of acetaminophen, 40 to 45 percent of U.S. imports of penicillin, and 40 percent of U.S. imports of heparin, according to the Commerce Department. In total, 80 percent of the U.S. supply of antibiotics are made in China.
[...]

Moreover, when it comes to starting material for the manufacture of pharmaceutical ingredients, a lot of this production is centered in China’s Hubei Provence, the epicenter of coronavirus. Most drug makers have a one to three-months of inventory of drug ingredients on hand. But these supplies are already being drawn down. Among big [active pharmaceutical ingredient] makers in Wuhan are Wuhan Shiji Pharmaceutical, Chemwerth, Hubei Biocause, Wuhan Calmland Pharmaceuticals.​
Gottlieb notes that “80 percent of the U.S. supply of antibiotics are made in China.” The sourcing of this estimate is explained in greater detail in section three of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s 2019 report to Congress, titled “ Growing U.S. Reliance on China’s Biotech and Pharmaceutical Products.”

The report notes that China is “the world’s largest producer of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The United States is heavily dependent on drugs that are either sourced from China or include APIs sourced from China.” The report further explains that although India is the world’s leading supplier of generic drugs, India gets 80 percent of its active pharmaceutical ingredients directly from China. The United States also imports 80 percent of its APIs from overseas (primarily from India and China) and “a substantial portion” of its generic drugs “either directly from China or from third countries like India that use APIs sourced from China.”

In other words, almost all pharmaceutical roads lead to China.
