China expected to displace US as world’s biggest economy by 2028: report

China’s economy has bounced back so quickly after the coronavirus that it is expected to displace the US as the world’s biggest economy by 2028, according to a new report.

The US is expected to contract by 4.4 percent this year — the country’s biggest fall since the Second World War, according to the London-based group.

“The big news in this forecast is the speed of growth of the Chinese economy,” said Douglas McWilliams, deputy chairman of the Center for Economics and Business Research. “We expect it to become an upper-income economy during the current five-year plan period (2020-25). And we expect it to overtake the US a full five years earlier than we did a year ago.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, there you have it.

All the little bits and pieces all come together.

The rumors that COVID was engineered in China.

The idea “15 days to slow the spread” has metastasized into a nearly year.

Now that we have a vaccine, it doesn’t matter because we still have to be locked down until 2021 or 2022.

The fact that Biden, the most blah candidate in modern political history got the most votes ever and beat the anti-China candidate (who got more votes in his second election but still lost), and that the winner was compromised by China vis-a-vis his son.

This was a hit job by the CCP to take revenge for Trump trying to reign in China during his first three years and take out America once and for all.

They did it with the help of the Democrats.

Maybe the problem is with the viewer and not the creator that these videos drive people insane. But whatever the case may be, why would they keep producing them knowing full well that the reception is going to be negative? pic.twitter.com/WFtNwtP9LP

This is in Italy from what I can gather in the video. I guess the medical personnel is as badly overworked by the “second” wave of the Wuhan V. as their counterparts in the US.
Now, I did not forget that when the Kung Flu initially hit in the land of Leonardo, the bodies of the elderly were decomposing at home because nobody in the government could come up with an ambulance, a panel truck or even pay for an Uber to bring the sick to the hospital because they were “overwhelmed.”

I guess choreography is very demanding.

And another “Overwhelmed medical personnel” video emerges.

Bad optics for the overwhelmed hospitals narrative? I think that’s a bit of an understatement. Videos like these, especially as the MSM continues to spew their fear-porn, are really disgusting. There’s NO excuse for it — and don’t even start with the stress relief crapola. pic.twitter.com/AeBpQdxvlF

And this one looks it happened here in the good Ole US of A. I just looked it up and the standard of care is supposed to be one nurse per six patients. So either there are a bunch of empty beds or about 100 patients were left without proper supervision while this “gracious and brave” video was being recorded.

Remember this ad?

The SEALs ain’t got shit on the stealth it takes to get a much loved and intensely snuggled, filthy stuffed toy out of the arms of a sleeping three year old.  Wash it.  Dry it.  And replace it without waking the child up.

They seem to think that if they tell us in advance that they are going to cheat then we will have nothing to complain about when they do it.

So this happened on Christmas eve while fixing food.

Cut went deep into the knuckle almost perpendicular to it. Bleed like crazy since they have me on a daily regiment of aspirin ()which I will talk to my doc about) and Celox was applied.

I thought I had done all the proper cleaning and application of antiseptics, but  my thumb is now in pain and swollen. I am on my way to the local urgent care franchise  which is closer than the ER and probably less crowded.

And I cannot tell you how many mistakes have been made writing this post. Lack of usable thumb does interfere regular life.

In the meantime, go read Big Country Expat’s post. We my talk about it later in the Forum. He is raising some of the same questions I have been pondering.

Update: Back from the clinic. The wound is closed, so no effing around with it. Lots of antibiotics for 10 days.
The “doctor” almost shat his pants. He squeezed the thumb a bit too hard rebandaging it and apparently the stream of cussing coming out of my mouth combined with the murder look may have loosened his bowels.
The clinic did go silent for a few seconds.
