Lockdown

Anyone that pays for private healthcare should be free to refuse, but there is a case that those dependent on free healthcare should take whatever treatment is offered.

That’s actually a very good point

Hardly an obsession, more of a confirmation of my suspicions about another poster who’s quite happy to throw a member of their little group under the bus to ingratiate himself while he fairly obviously tried to gather info about a particular escort, good to know the character of some posting on here, gladiator/woody/JJJames, one and the same, obvious bullies like Canali are no trouble because they’re not bright enough to hide in the shadows, their overinflated ego just won’t allow it, they post rubbish to deflect from what harm they’ve done on here, the real worries around here are the ones that are clever enough, who knows what they are up to.,

Being ignored and still commented about.... isn't that so clever.........

Boring and predictable as usual , always posts after I post ,my little fanboy is no real danger to anyone but himself.

Here’s an interesting tidbit :

Alibaba = Chinese Amazon .

Founder of Alibaba ( Jack Ma I think is his name ) has sold off Billions

of his own company’s shares .

And I ask : Why ?

During the worldwide LockDown we all have been doing our shopping Online .

Amazon has never been doing better — just as I imagine Alibaba has been reaping

the benefits of the WorldWide online shopping frenzy ..

And so it makes me think , Why would the Founder dump billions of his own stock ??

Any thoughts on it ??

Alibaba lost $150b in market value over investors’ uncertainty, says report

Alibaba is mainly a Chinese wholesale site that deals in bulk orders .
I ordered from Alibaba last March and took
3 months to come even with express shipping .
They usually have a “ processing time “ and then express delivery options
But both processing times and delivery were delayed because of the pandemic
Especially since it orginated in wuhan .

I’m not surprised by this loss .
A lot of businesses don’t want to deal with China moving forward
Along with the pandemic bringing lots of shipping difficulties.


Amazon is a different platform altogether with warehouses all
Over the world and can place small orders so therefore a big
Pandemic winner .
Unlike Alibaba it’s deversified it’s shipping warehouse locations
And doesn’t have all its eggs in one basket , the China
Basket in Alibabas case .

I have ordered goods from China in the past but now if I see China as the country of origin I just don't order.

Quite often in the past I have received a much different and/or inferior product than what I had ordered.

I've also had to pay duty in the past and of course there's the delivery time delays. No, not for me.
