America is Disney.It’s a lot of fun but nothing serious or grown up can be accomplished here.

Indeed. We need to do that, bigly, and we need to decouple from China financially, to the extent possible. China is an authoritarian state that runs what are virtually concentration camps. In many ways it is far worse than apartheid South Africa. Saudi Arabia too—jettison them.

The assertion that we need to compete with other countries at all is neoliberal, imperialist propaganda. Sad to see you parroting it.

It’s already too late

Does that include finishing the border wall so we can help stop the fentanyl poring into the country from China through Mexico?

You can’t compete with slave labor. It’s also immoral to continue enriching the ruling class of China while their people suffer under their tyrannical Social Credit System.

Also our politicians not giving into allure of a social credit based surveillance state. They seem to already be headed in that direction unfortunately.

Human beings should STOP competing and start co-operating. Fucking hate all this this division, this racism and this tribalism.
