Stop in for a cup of coffee

With how they handled this virus, their exports might take a hit.
My wife said she won't buy clothes or shoes tagged Made in China.
Good thing they don't tag their medications.

I don't know how many here are aware of this. But the U.S. has been shifting gears, and aiding Viet Nam to increase productions of many of the items that now come from China. I have seen evidence of this when I am in Country. This has actually been going on for about 7 years in VN. I see Viet Nam becoming a major player in imports to the U.S. even more so in the future. Saigon is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. I have also seen first hand how the VN Govt. doles out a lot of leash, allowing for their lower and middle class people to run and operate their own businesses. I have been very encouraged, and was quite surprised to see this during my first trips there , 3 years ago. I might even go so far as to say, it is not far reaching, to think that there may be a voting society there, in the not so distant future.. That being said, I was in Walmart last week and picked up some garden sheers I needed for my landscaping purposes. Never really looked close at it until I got home. But...Guess what ??
