It is possible that cheap manufacturing will move somewhere else in the world.

China is in a massive economic crisis, The housing market is a multi-trillion dollar ponzi scheme resulting in a severe banking crisis. Real-estate makes up 30% of their GDP and 70% of all Chinese are invested in the real estate market. The value of the housing market has been dropping like a rock for the last year. Think of the 2008 housing crisis in the US except 10-100x bigger. China has massive infrastructure debt. High speed rail system alone is almost 1 trillon dollars in debt. Ever hear of ghost cities? They are real.

To top it all off, 30 years of the 1 child policy means they will not have much of a work force soon. Tons of older people are retiring and there are not enough people to replace them. In about 50 years, their population will be half of what it is now. Can’t manufacture without a large labor force. If their economy crashes, we will have supply chain issues that will make 2020/2021 look mild.

Global supply chains include a lot more countries than China though. Taiwan, Bangladesh, Philippines, India, etc are all very important too.

Deck weighs 3 pounds 6 ounces.
Enclosure cant be much more. For most shipping services the first weight bracket is 8 pounds and under, though, so 8 pounds should give you a reasonable estimate.

well, people care about the life and death of stupid ass telereality people,
at least in a landscape of mostly disgusting political people, she was a mostly positive one. that makes more sens to me.
You don’t need to know here personaly to care, and that does’nt mean that you’re going to cry yourself to sleep either.

Sure some people on social media are fake as shit as they always are, that being said.

is the “II” ?
