It's a capitalist market. Unless government policy makes it economically unfavorable, companies will outsource operations to lower cost areas. Any company that doesn't do this risks being buried by competitors who do.
Govt imposed costs warp the market decisions by quite a bit. Keep corporate taxes lower and keep the administrative cost of labor under control and the US looks a lot more favorable. When people like Obama and his group come in, they always increase taxes, increase the regulatory burden, and increase the liability/administrative cost of employees.
"I believe you are on the best case scenario of the spectrum, and I’m on the worst case scenario end of it... people should be ready for something somewhere in between."OK, then I'll sit at my desk and white knuckle it while drinking heavily while you run around in circles flapping your arms and screeching about how the sky is falling. Between the two of us we should have it covered.
The majority of Iran's cases have been linked to Qom, a major religious destination for *expletive deleted*it pilgrims 85 miles south of Tehran, Iran's health ministry spokesman said on state television Tuesday. An official from Qom claimed Monday that 50 people had died in the city. Tehran quickly rejected the figure and denied hiding anything.
Iran hasn't suspended flights from China, one of its top trading partners, despite nearly all of its Middle Eastern neighbors doing so.
Shoot, I'm all smiles and giggles today. At 9am, I was up 6 figures, but that has fallen to very high 5 figures. The bigger the market crash, the more I'm going to rake in.

I would expect nothing less from a backwards, third world shithole like Iran.
It's just sad that Islam put them into shithole status. Imagine the place with no revolution. It's not hard, there's pictures..Current situation sucks for Haji Bob on the street, but reap the whirlwind./ thread drift

I guess the Shah was kind of an authoritarian ahole, but he sure seems to have been loads better than what came later.
Most revolutions are an act of kicking out one authoritarian ahole and replacing them with another, often worse, authoritarian ahole
Interesting satellite imagery over China. SWAG with just the imagery and no data, but that looks like a pretty big delta and a big dropoff in movement and activity.https://www.foxnews.com/science/china-cornvirus-coincides-plummet-nitrogen-dioxide
