Pt. 4 (the last one), what will a war with China be like for the average American?
In short, it's the end of the dollar and the American economy. We as a nation will be impoverished like the UK after WWII. Britons in the 1950s were WAY poorer than Americans of a similar class.

Gas will probably be rationed. Why? 1, refineries will probably be struck by China to harm our economy and war effort. 2, China will probably apply pressure to foreign nations to cut off our oil supply. 3, this serves the fossil-fuel hating left's purposes.
In WWII, gas rationing wasn't necessary; we had plenty of oil. The problem was rubber, which came mainly from Japanese held territory. Tires had to be conserved and it was easier for the feds to limit driving via gas limits (and lower the speed limit) or else we'd drive on rims.
When Trump called COVID "the Chinese virus," it led to a rise in anti-Asian attacks.
This racist and ineffective policy from the Biden White House will have the same devastating effect. Shame on you @POTUS @AshishKJha46 @CDCDirector!

Requiring negative tests for flights from a single country is ineffective because the US is already letting it rip and generating variants, and also because people travel everywhere, so variants that may become dominant in China will still reach the US via other countries.
The Biden White House requiring negative tests for only China is a move that puts politics over public health, and increases the likelihood of xenophobia and attacks on Asian people in the US.
#SCOOP: More ASIAN HATE in #Seattle. Prosecutors say they charged WHITE HOMELESS man w/HATE CRIME after breaking nose of Chinese student near @cityu+allegedly yelling “China virus”+”Covid” at others. @SeattlePD w/arrest. Dropping story soon. @MayorofSeattle #StopAsianHate
WHAT SUSPECT TOLD POLICE: @SeattlePD says the suspect told officer that he sleeps in nearby #Belltown homeless encampment with his boyfriend. So much more in this court document. #Seattle #StopAsianHate
STORY I BROKE: Earlier this week, I reported on another Asian hate incident in #Seattle now gaining NATIONAL ATTENTION. This is not a good look for city, where Asian Americans now make up second largest minority group. @MayorofSeattle #StopAsianHate

NOW WE KNOW: Over the weekend, a woman was caught on camera hurling nasty racial slurs and insults at an Asian American woman in #Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Here's what the victim says led up to this disgusting encounter. #Seattle #StopAsianHate
HERE'S THE ENTIRE VIDEO: I am following up on this story and have identified the woman yelling racial slurs at this Asian American woman. I have reached out. I'm now waiting for a response. Stay tuned. #Seattle #StopAsianHate.
LATEST RESPONSE: Some people on social are wondering if this Asian American woman in #Seattle said anything racist before, during, or after this encounter with the angry woman.
THIS IS ASIAN HATE: It's unclear when encounter in #Seattle's Capitol Hill happened, but vid was posted recently. Asian Americans continue to be subjected to this behavior. It's just NOT being reported. ANGRY woman pretty much lists every stereotype and insult. #StopAsianHate
INTERNET WILL FIND HER: Hey at least she’s a #Raiders fan. I love Bo Jackson and I’m trying to get Davante Adams in a trade for my fantasy football team. 😂🤡🙃 #Seattle #StopAsianHate
WILL MAYOR REGRET DECISION? Back in October, reports emerged about @MayorofSeattle cutting city's anti-Asian hate budget by 50%. But incidents keep happening. Some now asking, "What has Mayor really done for Asian Americans so far?" Good question. #Seattle

Career criminal Anthony Evans, 30, has been apprehended over the box cutter slashing attack on an Asian woman in NYC on Aug. 31. Evans has been arrested over 30 times & is accused of using a blade to randomly slash an Asian woman in a hate crime.
Anthony Evans is accused of using a box cutter in a hate crime attack on a 59-year-old Asian seamstress in Manhattan. He's been charged with assault as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon. #StopAsianHate
The tweet at the top of this thread says the attack happened on Aug. 31. That is a typo. The attack happened on Sunday, July 31. I apologize for the error.

Their car was then stolen & used in this home invasion the same day. (I shared this vid earlier this week.)
The homes are just 1 mile apart.
In that case, a man was w/his sleeping 15-month old when the group of 5 or 6 held him at gunpoint & kidnapped him & took him to an ATM.

RECALLED: Chesa Boudin was too progressive even for liberal San Francisco. This is a cautionary tale for elected officials in Seattle, a city with similar sensibilities. Asian American voting bloc played massive role in recall. Boudin accused of botching response to #AsianHate.
