Can't waste an opportunity to blame an enemy of the party.

Lefties with the long game?

It only seems stupid if you aren’t trying to fabricate a narrative to entrap the world into more lockdown, less freedom and rights and a larger, more powerful, tyranny.

I agree. The potential ramifications are dangerous. Whoever did it, definitely shouldn't do it again.

20 miles from ATL. Maybe not terrible.

No. It was terrorism.

Haven't determined by who or for what.

But the chinese don't run legit labs for that in the u.s. so it wasn't theirs.
And if it was israeli owned (somewhere along the chain, which it probably was) it wasn't the domestic intelligence agencies.

So I'd hazard an educated guess that it was a non-state actor.

Looking at the cross-over of the location, atlanta, and the subset of blacks on the anti-covid train, I would suggest
it was muslim brotherhood or someone affiliated with them. Possibly a former convict, possibly ex-military, but I'm reaching now.

Yes. Supposedly part of the fire suppression system malfunctioned and some stuff got wet that wasn't supposed to causing the fire. Although I also read that there had been a fire on the roof same day which had been "contained".
It looks really bad and I have to wonder how dangerous it is for people who live there.

I disagree. We just haven't determined what the use was, who benefits, and why they benefit from it. Who has motive, etc.

An opinion others might not like, but makes a solid point.

The problem is we have no way to regulate them or prevent them from making illegal weapons that, like covid, are shared with other nations and released 'accidentally'.
In other words you haven't thought this through.

Incidentally the chinese are doing enough fundamental research in all areas, that they don't need these partnerships.
But they won't quit them for a variety of reasons.

It amounts to a lack of confidence in their own people's research capabilities. They don't see it yet, but they've outgrown the need for western-eastern 'tech sharing'.

If they lean on their research sector, they may worry about them being wobbly, but they'll find they're ready to stand on their own two feet.

Incidentally if they give up on siphoning sand across the globe, and invest hugely in importing glass via 'international recycling' programs, they can make all the sand they need to improve their concrete and infrastructure needs, which are falling behind.
