Indeed -- just say NO! The "big 4" data companies believe they  MIGHT  succeed in forcing AI upon everyone as a behavioral  standard. A standard they create and they control. They may fail, but the lust for slaves/power  is so great "they" are willing to take the chance. Some flaw has been quietly observed? I wonder, what  (fails) have USA citizens done recently  ... or not done ... that impels  mercantilists to such risk ?

Fifth column not needed. If your business depends on chi.com (CCP) imports, then best you go bankrupt.

They seem to fear manipulation of the Microsoft hypervisor running VBS. Which is comforting in a way, at least we know their rootkit doesn't go that deep.

"If we truly believe in evolution, survival of the fittest, etc"  Darwinian evolution is demonstrably wrong. Genetic drift and macro-happenstance ( volcanoes/asteroids/tsunamis etc ) set the evolutionary "path". And that path is semi-Markov. The fittest/strongest/most-fertile/smartest/best-fed  survive with the smallest imaginable preference.  Edge cases do exist, like random-coil bio-polymers becoming rod-like in low-salt solutions.

Password? Why not adjust the antenna every time you get up to change the channel ? You can rotate those damned bunny-ears to receive or reject any content. The antenna  of-course sits right beside the channel knob ...

North Korea bad, but .....  that same fact holds true for outsourced workers in Mexico, Vietnam and The Philippines. Good for them and theirs and globalist companies. Bad for most American citizens. If a company lives in the protected American culture then they should by-law pay American wages. Ponzi ?? Hostage ??  Redistribution ???  WTF -- NO excuse for being a wage-slaving sociopath.

You must live in the tropics ! Imagine my house a toasty 30-C  as the blizzard howls outside. I then turn on my 200-W ( only a fool  INTEREST GROUP uses 2000 W AI systems )  Ryzen-5/GForce-1660  based system. And ... the climate does not change ...  nobody suffers ...  I feel nothing ... so do you !

And USA companies outsourcing to China (CCP) have been funding this project. I'm looking at you APPLE etc. Reminds me of 13-th Century Genoa funding the Mongol invasion of Europe ... for trade concessions.  Does the smell of traitorous self-aggrandizement get any stronger ?

Gaia worshiping green-beaners do not care about your MS/PhD ( and they care less about mine ). They truly care not about EV or ICE locomotion , but are emotion driven haters of ANY productive human activity, any useful human tool . They produce nothing of value and would curse all to do the same; and wish all to return as "noble savages".  Walking bare-footed, clothed in woven reeds  while eating wild barley and oats from an oyster shell.  They're a toxic bunch of  karma-killing  nancy-boiz infesting /. like tics in a deer meadow. Where is DDT when we really need it ?

"...are not shackled to the whims of political theatre..."  Fair enough. Then no Trotsky-slut liberal would ever lead an "independent "  government agency.

Independent of WHO exactly; that is the question. Do unbiased experts exist in any field of human en-devour;what does unbiased even mean when even physical laws are viewed a model parameters instead of universal necessities. ? How much moreso Federal regulatory agencies that determine how much rat-shit a jar of peanut butter may contain or which border-jumping narco-Mex mule is really fleeing an oppressive government. Better just leave politics  and power to the citizens impacted.

Business owners tendency to pay subsistence wages is what requires unions and minimum wage. A wise KING  arranges  commensurate laws. He knows that his  stable nation depends mostly on the workmans' pork-chop & his daughters silk wedding gown.   When a royal family has ruled peacefully for 40 generations you know they understand how to put-screws to both Marxists and Randists.

I just found the numbers for Germany for November 2025.

• Bestselling Chinese brand is BYD with 1.7% market share.
• Bestselling European brand of Chinese made cars is MG Roewe with 1.0% market share, followed by Tesla with 0.7%.
• Bestselling European brand owned by a Chinese company is Volvo at 1.9% market share.

This flood is often written about, but has not materialized yet. Chinese brands are only 8% of all BEV cares in Europe as of Octoberf 2025, and BEV cars are about 20% of the total car market. And even if we include Chinese made cars for non-Chinese brands (like Tesla sells in Europe), we are at less than 20% of BEVs or 4% of the total car market.

And the main reason for high energy costs in Germany are massive investments into the grid, amounting to a planned total sum of 300 billion euros. If you include local grids, it's 700 billion euros.

The grid investment were planned at a time, when battery storage was not viable, and is by many deemed to be excessive, as the average load of the grid is about 15% of the capacity.

Another quirk is that German regulations are currently paying a renewable energy provider for the potential amount of energy, not for the energy amount actually provided. This means that the provider is notifying the grid about the currently available power, and gets paid for being willing to provide the energy, independently of the grid's capacity to make use of the energy. This disincentivizes the combination of renewables with battery storage, and hence letting available renewable electric energy going to waste, because the surplus energy is not stored, but simply switched off. On the other hand, the amount of battery storage projects applied for is currently 20 times higher than assumed in the energy report from 2023, which means that the money planned for the grid might be freed up when some expansion projects are proven to be unnecessary.
