Postcard from the ancestral homeland
China's economic resurgence has met a stumbling block in the shape of Chongvirus Omicron. Like its elder brother, Delta, Omicron is making a pilgrimage to its ancestral homeland, and is having a fine time in the economically- and technologically-important regions of Guangdong, Jilin, Shandong, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.
Lockdowns have forced several manufacturers—including Toyota, Volkswagen, and Foxconn—to cease operations. Repercussions to global supply chains may affect access to new and shiny. We'll just have to get over it. What's important is that the denizens of President Pooh's fetid shithole are locked up. Or down.
Have fun, lil' Omicron! (thumbup)
