“In the end there is no way to tally what the costs of politics, political censorship, and corporate virtue signaling is. As an economist I would put the back-of-napkin calculations at easily half a trillion in explicit financial costs, but (more importantly) easily two trillion in lost potential economic production. And this says nothing of the ancillary mental and psychological costs of stress, frustration, anger, even suicide/depression people suffer.”

I already do what I can to avoid Chinese products, Proctor and Gamble, Heinz, Levi Strauss, etc, but you have to be aware the whole time, and sometimes it’s simply impossible to find non Chinese non Pakistan and non Bangladesh products, plus it just clutters up your life and time. It would be so nice to just enjoy life and your existence on this plant, but the SJW’s and their ilk will never be content until they have destroyed all they hate, which will be impossible, but that won’t stop them. I guess that is why we end up with civil wars every now and again, to clean out the vermin, or be cleaned out by them
To Quote Victor David Hansen, “The woke, but godless, the arrogant but ignorant, the violent but physically unimpressive, the degreed, but poorly educated, the broke but aquisitive, the ambitious but stalled. These are the history’s ingredients of riot and revolution”.
Plus, with the Covid shutdown these A-holes have too much time on their delinquent lives, which means they can dream up misery for the rest of society!
