I'm not saying that what happened in el Paso and Dayton isn't horrible, but are you aware of what else happened over the weekend?
Hong Kong is degenerating into mass violence, as China begins a crackdown on the semi-autonomous region, in what is almost certainly a prelude to the forced de-Westernization and integration into Chinese society of the city.

India has revoked the special status of the Kashmir region, and is sending troops in. This will definitely spark a major crisis between them and Pakistan, and might lead to war.

Will the world just look the other way when China brings in the military to bring "Order" to Hong Kong? It will be ugly and ignoring it will send ripples through the world.
The two systems one country deal brokered by the UK before releasing Hong Kong to China in 99' was only a 50 year plan.
China is just going ahead of schedule, I'm not surprised.

52% of our crops exported to China is Soybeans. They are trying or have another source of this. Have they found a solution so soon?

Good luck with trying to do that! The farmers get paid to grow that crap, and corn. That’s why all you see is endless fields of corn and soybeans. You take that away, and you take away their welfare, I mean subsidy checks. Can’t have that!
Soy goes into making animal feed and plastics too.
