Not real?? It is an example, a stark one..........

That is true, you know what I think.........

What this shows in ugly graphic terms is our reliance on the CCP for our goods, our meds...

Clearly our system is hampered, if not broken in many ways-see our chaotic health care cluster-fuck..

You may not buy into it, but I bet you'll be watching...

They may not tilt towards ccp, trump is pushing them away & they are going to do what is in their best interest, like it use to be w/ the USA..

I buy into it, just not the PPP GDP

Purchasing power parity (PPP) compares how many goods and services an exchange-rate-adjusted unit of money can purchase in different countries. Nominal GDP shows the total productive output of a country, while PPP is an applied doctrine of the comparative value of money in different countries.

( 2x they have threatened to cut them off during the pandemic) is a threat to national security
