People buying EVs globally isn't a rebuke of anything. People are buying what they want. Unless, if course, people are being forced to buy EVs...

How is this a problem?

Inflation isn't high.

How often is that the problem, versus studios opening their own exclusive streaming services?

Is it the streaming services or the studios that are greedy?

Given that the first DeepSeek relied on foreign hardware, it should come as no surprise that v2 is similarly dependent.

Bullshit. Who controls Bitcoin? Nobody. Who controls XMR? Nobody.

Sounds like a job for cryptocurrency.

Moving factories to India or Vietnam still means regular Chinese citizens lose those jobs. It also means the manufacturing capacity belongs to India or Vietnam, rather than China, despite China having nominal control of the output. India and Vietnam will be building their fortune the same way China did off the back of the United States decades ago.

China also has an overcapacity problem in several sectors, such as steel; automotive; and solar. Now imagine that the CCP "solves" this problem by moving capacity overseas (or simply shuttering factories) rather than by opening up new opportunities to sell their excess of product. Instant economic contraction.

Nobody is selling your house. Unless you're an idiot.

Lol

Whom do you think benefits from government waste? It isn't the poor or middle class.

After the Accenture layoffs, I don't blame the Feds for canceling their contract:

Are you sure they're laying off AI researchers? We had an article 1-2 days ago about Google poaching these employees from Meta (or somebody).

They wouldn't if such contracts were made illegal. As witj HIPAA, the only way to protect people's right to their own personal data is through force of law.

When Austin becomes a Federal district. Or when there's a mass riot that requires a national guard presence. Or similar.
