At this point the Corona virus has cost the United States 2.2 trillion dollars in new government debt, billions in lost revenue and wages, and millions of jobs.
China holds a significant portion of the United states debt.
In an ideal world GEOTUS would tell China "we are no longer paying interest or principal on that debt. Fuck you and your bioterrorist ruling class"
Hell, I'd go a step further and just default on all Chinese held debts
It's already more than that. The amount of work lost has cost a shit ton in lost taxes. Theese things don't happen in a vacuum.
