re: Global Shipping Update: China Is About To Wreck Your Summer

China has done to the US what Apple did to the average consumer.

Started with PCs, then iPods, then phones. Now, add in the cloud and the fact it all works in an ecosystem that is completely fricked if you step outside the ecosystem. I’d maybe buy and android, but I won’t even look at them now that I’ve got years of pictures, settings, notes, etc. that will all evaporate without some serious effort to migrate it off.

China has done that same thing to the US. We are so intertwined with them that removal would be just short of cutting out our own heart. It’s almost impossible, but it’s the only way to reduce their influence on the world.
