culturally, they are incredibly laid back and think hard work is a waste of time.

Nice. Speaking as a New Mexican, these sound like my kind of people.

I hereby challenge any Filipino to a laziness contest, where loser buys us both margaritas. You have no chance. When I get around to it, I will eventually crush you with my inactivity.

Since when did Trump want to help the US job market? This is just another grift either for him directly or for one of his billionaire handlers - they can claim they're "on-shoring" manufacturing without having to pay for US workers (and, I imagine, without meeting US safety and environmental requirements).

It's also unclear exactly what this is supposed to accomplish with regards to the "critical minerals" mentioned. From the summary, at least, it seems likely the administration doesn't have a plan in that regard either - they're simply hoping some company will figure out a way to accomplish it, and that having this space out of the mainland US somehow aids that effort.

The thing is, I like slave labor, when the slaves are machines. I want to work Bender 24 hours a day, and if he complains about it, I'll deny him his alcohol ration! Fuckin' clankers and skinjobs don't have any rights to infringe.

The catch to that, is that over here on my side of the ocean, I don't see and can't inspect Bender working way over in China, so I can't be sure the drudgery is experienced by the 6502 in Bender's head. How do I know he isn't just relaying commands to his servos and motors, which were sent by the teleworking Apu in India, doing the Waymo thing?
