Oregon is part of the US last I looked.And we sent loads of masks and ventilators to China when the virus hit them.Now we are short because of our generosity.

So all this hating on the US for wanting to take care of our hospital workers but no one says one word about India deciding not to export medicine to other countries.
I don’t blame them one bit.They have a huge population to take care of.

Yes I know that about Oregon they still donated to a different state. Also apparently China is donating supplies back my point is its good if different states help other states that are more in need and that countries who have supplies should share those with the rest of the world so hopefully the world can get through this.
I have no hating on the U.S for wanting to take care of our hospital workers, I just don't see how telling a company who has been supplying masks to Canada and South America to cease sending anything to those places and only manufacture for the U.S. translates to protecting our medical workers. They can still make domestic products and some to export, I don't see the problem. I mean world trade is kind of intertwined different countries need each other to manufacture necessary products. Also the U.S isn't the only place with hospital workers who need protection the whole world needs protection for medical workers...as hard as it may be for some people to consider american lives actually in the grand scheme of things are not actually worth more than non american lives.

whataboutism is not a good argument.

I could say the same for all the anti-American sentiment here.

There isn’t one perfect place on this earth.


Apart from Australia. :wink:

Being as few days ago our governor said we are in desperate need of ventilator and acquired us those 140 we desperately need, o do wish she’d worried more about us. If 140 people die that’s on her.

Women weren't "people" at all.

Women of any background.

Nor were poor men. Original it was land owners only.

Australia has a bad history, also I watched 12 hours of things in Australia will kill you. How exactly did Australia end up with so many animals that are super deadly. I will never go to Australia now

Men who didn't own land still had some degree of rights. Women might have had equal rights in limited regards like property ownership, a white male indentured servant still had more rights than anyone who wasn't white and a man. You might be able to come up with a handful of transgressive examples that buck the norm, but that was the norm.

The only rights or privileges the wealthy wife or daughter of a wealthy man had (compared to a man) were directly a result of being 'his'.
