WFB: Missouri became the first state to sue the Chinese government for economic losses suffered because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“COVID-19 has done irreparable damage to countries across the globe, causing sickness, death, economic disruption, and human suffering,” Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt said in a statement. Schmitt announced the suit on Tuesday.
“In Missouri, the impact of the virus is very real—thousands have been infected and many have died, families have been separated from dying loved ones, small businesses are shuttering their doors, and those living paycheck to paycheck are struggling to put food on their table,” Schmitt added. “The Chinese government lied to the world about the danger and contagious nature of COVID-19, silenced whistleblowers, and did little to stop the spread of the disease. They must be held accountable for their actions.” read more
I wish them well, but they’ve got an awful lot to prove and China can stretch something like this out for many years making it rather meaningless to pursue it beyond some point of time.
It would be a lot easier and more effecting to just start pushing hard to end all trade with China so it can spread on a national basis once it gains some officially backed momentum.
But I doubt the Leftists would allow that.
I don’t think anything will ever come of this, but it never hurts to try. China is going to tack a big kick in the sack over this one way or another
If you’ve been paying attention to Trumps daily updates, in the last two days, he’s come real close to saying it was intentional. He wouldn’t be sticking his neck out that far unless he had some proof.
Now there are discussions to take away the 2022 Winter Olympics from China. I disagree with that, instead just don’t go. Let China have an olympics with no one else there.
Leave it to the Show Me State.
As in, SHOW ME DA MONEY!!!!
The AG’s jealous that Josh Hawley’s getting face time on TV.
