If western people could have stocked up in january...

it would be way easier now... the supply chain shock wouldn't have to be absorbed at the same time as the pandemic...

of course it would have been less lethal... that's a question of objectives...

so while they were saying to us all is good, they were offloading their investments and stocking up...

that's not a good strategy... they have just become "sources"...

the first to get it, will... the others will only see ruins of mcmansions...
