It doesnt have to be this way. If somehow america is able to:
1. Regulate social media so people aren't living in different realities and unable to agree on anything.
2. Enforce labor law by going after instances of wage theft and aggressively punishing union busting tactics.
3. Bring back the marginal tax rate of the 50s and earlier.
4. Enforce anti monopoly law and break up conglomerates.
5. Write a law clearly identifying which jobs an employer is prohibited from automating.
6. Student loan forgiveness.
7. Universal health care
8. Empower the FCC to go after bullshyt, scams, and journalistic malpractice based on an international framework of standards.
9. Raise the minimum wage, and create a federal jobs program.
10. Mandatory 3 week vacation MINIMUM for all employees. You cant tell me a company can't find casual or part time workers in a country with the level of unemployment we are experiencing right now. And its just not people who never completed high school, we've got people with masters degrees driving cabs and shyt.
We would be back on track.
We need unity as a country and right now division is just too lucrative. Theres just too much money right now in getting people to believe in shyt that makes them feel good but isn't true, and the average American can't afford to travel. If people had enough money and time off to actually see how others are living in the world, they'll understand how they're being ripped off.
We're making the same point lolSince 1978, and adopting the state capitalism model it uses today, China has lifted 800 million people out of extreme poverty.

Lifting 800 Million People Out of Poverty – New Report Looks at Lessons from China’s Experience
Over the past 40 years, China has lifted nearly 800 million people out of poverty, accounting for more than 75 percent of global poverty reduction in the same period, according to a new report released on Thursday.www.worldbank.org
Imagine the entire population of America, Mexico, and Canada going from the current minimum wage to double that amount in 40 years. No other country in history has done this. If youre a developing country and looking at who to deal with, you've got one country on one end of things that is embracing white supremacy right in front of your face and humiliating your representatives.
Then you've got another country that is making cheap cars, solar panels, railways etc. That wants to do business with you. Youre likely going to want to fukk with that country.
Our global approval ratings are going down and morons in this country think it's a good thing or don't care because they see anyone who isnt like them as inferior. America's racism is literally hurting it's development. I disagree with your perspective on the jack ma situation because Alibaba is still very profitable and has only continued to grow. The government warned him and told him to stay in his lane. He thought "this is a billion dollar IPO, theyd never risk this much damage to the economy" he thought he was in america where people like him run shyt and they made a public example of him.

They dropped the bag in front of TSMC and Nvidia engineers. Probably had people who got hired there, rose up high enough to get enough information and then bounced.
Most people dont think about corporate espionage and the fact that there are people who train and recruit others to act as spies for private companies.
If china is saying "yeah we don't need that nvidia shyt" it might mean rather than being 3 or 4 or 5 years behind, they may secretly have made a breakthrough.
I am not shocked at all. People really do not grasp how huge the population of china is. There's approx. What? 347 million Americans? China's population is 1.4 BILLION. You could duplicate America's population and it still wouldn't even constitute HALF of chinas population and that's without counting through millions of Chinese living in America, Canada, the UK, Australia, or other parts of Asia like Korea or Thailand.
And their government is largely made up of people with scientific backgrounds while ours is made up of lawyers, veterans, investors and business owners. If the chinese government says "we are going to spend the next 5 years developing Artificial Intelligence" they can just do it. No lobbying, no media circus, just action. They decide something is important and they pump trillions of dollars and millions of hours of manpower into getting it done. This is how america used to operate. This is like listening to someone do an impression of Jay Z. The bars and flow remind you of when you first heard Jay Z, it brings you back. Then you hear a modern Jay song and it just makes you want to go back and listen to that othe rapper again. It's crazy that a country that calls itself communist is outdoing America in capitalism.
The corporate democrats and Republicans are not the people we need right now if we are going to beat china. But I fear it might already be over. It's like finding yourself lost in a forest and the only two people who claim to know the way out cant agree with each other and neither of them actually knows how to use a map or compass and the last time they were in that forest was when they were 4 years old.
I still think China is in a demographic time bomb and weren't as great of innovators as the US, plus being authoritarian I thought it stymied innovation and freedom.
I still think those things, but the remainder of the free world is seemingly ready to align with them especially as the US is basically run by a mob boss; less Capone and more Peter Gotti than anything.
They're taking the approach, run your country as you want, we just want our economy and our population to prosper. The US on the orher hand, is just trying to very transparently to only enrich the 1%. This administration just doesn't realize nothing is set in stone and the world order was always fragile, especially when you have a bunch of dumbass, deep throating, yes men aligned with a severely cognitively declined narcissist in Trump.
One thing I patently got wrong was the Jack Ma situation. No businessman should ever be above the state. This is not to say the state is ever infallible, and although I don't think he was a malicious actor, that kind of overreach is why we have CEOs dictating policy right now.
with the materials to make the chips which COME FROM CHINA AND OTHER PLACES...nvida aint shyt... why not just charge them out the ass for the materials. or make your own chips better than they have since you have the materials at your hands...
People that say this I believe are just repeating what they've heard and haven't actually looked at China's demographic age distribution charts. The one child policy was bad but it's been decades since it was ended and its effects are clearly reversing. Their demographics starting to look completely fine.
The rest of what you said I agree.
Zeihan keeps talking about that, but with China investing in AI but also robots
The demographic time bomb isn't that much of an issue.
