The long term goal is rebuilding US industry.
I think it’s more fundamental than that. Little 8 year old Donald Trump walked up and down Manhattan with his father staring up at giant oil and steel buildings and thought to himself that THAT was success. It’s not really about the industry, it’s about being so wildly successful that you can put up buildings like that.
We’ve moved well past that economy but Trump is still stuck in the early 1950s.
Presuming that the effect is as you say–that it could encourage domestic production, the real issue is how quickly it can take a supply chain to spin up. Remember that it really did take about 2 years for things to start up fully after lockdown, and that was when factories and such were already in existence. To do that here would easily take a decade presuming that there was sufficient investment.
TLDR; these had built in musical synthesizers. Same sorts of chips you’d find in electronic keyboards. You don’t have to record the sound, just the instruction for the chip to play the sound you want.
I do think you’re right. Friendster and MySpace were pretty much the peak, then when real social media took over, it all went to shit. Since then, tech exists not to perform some function but to justify its existence specifically to earn money.
I am surprised that you had to point that out, if I am honest. I’d have expected people who have reasoned opinions on China to understand that basic part of Chinese (or possibly Asian-at-large) culture.
The US suffers deeply from cultural narcissism where a significant number of people believe that their needs are more important than the needs of others.
lol with pleasure I now block a troll.
You mentioned the law. I gave an example. Then you moved the goalposts. Grow up.
Don’t engage. Low effort edge troll.
The law also sent Rosa Parks to jail.
Not sure why you’re trying to give up your rights, but ok.
Why an a-hole?
