China can bring us to our knees any time they want.  Anything you have that is "made in China?"  You might not have next week.  It's up to to them.

@Sooner  Exactly Right.

If you can not make it yourself, you are beholden to someone else.

Even if You have the money to buy,  Nobody has to sell to You.

Wish people understood that.

@candys mine I wish our country spent more time and money investing in building critical industry in this country than overseas.  I'm thinking critical systems manufacturing such as HVAC, pharmacy, medical supplies etc.

@Hoovermom The real novel idea would be if we all (me included) wrote to our representatives that control spending and said "Here's a novel idea. . . " like you said. Woman Very Happy

.....but if you get pregnant, have a baby, and can not breast feed you will have no Baby Formula and need Tampons again.

UGH...I really didn't think I would ever see the day that our country would be in this sad situation.

Wow. These are supplies taken so for granted, that there would be an endless supply. It seems we're time traveling backwards in far too many ways.

 

I remember so well my mom talking about the rags she and her sisters' had to make when living in the remote hills of KY. When supplies became available, she felt like a Princess in luxury.

 

It's clear why some who had it so hard, had and have, little patience for the next whining generations, intolerant over minor inconveniences. Time to toughen up; it's likely to get worse.
