I fear people could be in for a very rude awakening very soon; let’s pray that it doesn’t happen.

Cozar, I’ll add to your comment and say absolutely these insane Uni-Party idiots are considering bailing out Evergrande; and they will accomplish their goal unless some of our politicians grow a spine very soon. We should know shortly after Congress gets back from their well-deserved vacation :rofl: if our tax dollars will be put work for China!
