Coronavirus thread

Guess he crossed the road once too many times...

Many of our younger readers may not have understood our distinguished poster's reference, which is this question: Why did the chicken cross the road? Answer: To get to the other side. A similar one is: Why did the chicken walk to the middle of the road? Answer: To lay it on the line. Another: What is that white stuff in chicken shit? Answer: That's chickenshit too.

The next time Stephanie is the keynote speaker addressing a professional organization she now has three new jokes to tell.

55 years ago I saw a chicken with his feet tied in a rural Mississippi doctor's waiting room.

Testing for Chickenpox.

The anecdotal evidence from China suggests the country is still grappling with the coronavirus. A company in Shenzhen that does contract manufacturing for our products has still not reopened after the Lunar New Year holiday. Other suppliers in Suzhou are not responding to normal email communication nor joining regularly scheduled conference calls. We are almost to one month since the Lunar New Year holiday began and China shutdown. That means we are close to a loss of 8% of GDP for one of the largest economies in the world.

Apple stating that the first quarter will be short of projections is just the tip of the iceberg; there will be a lot of companies that have nothing to sell because the raw and/or finished materials never got out of China. I do not know about the human impact, but the economic impact will surely be a recession.

One possible outcome of this may be deoffshoring... I personally think we went too far.

Don’t get your hopes up too high there. Even if the idiots realize that all eggs in one basket = bad idea. The solution will be to scale up in China and India or Africa or some other shithole where labor is cheap and can be used to bypass investment into automation or other means if production. Offshoring will continue to different shores.

Yup. As long as Americans expect to live a 1st world lifestyle, transactional and semi-transactional work will be offshored to 3rd world nations.
