I haven’t watched the video, but in light of Uvalde I think there is a good chance some officers just want to “be distracted” during mass shootings, because they do not want to be in any position where they do not have the upper hand. So it wouldn’t surprise me if some officers target people at the scene just so they don’t have to engage with a shooter

It’s hard to say if it’s just propaganda, The Taiwanese lead the market and they decide who gets the best, and if that knowledge and expertise is exported. They obviously have a a political reason to not give America everything it wants.

However us Americans have no stomachs for short term losses to achieve long term gain. If no one is willing to hold our hands through the billions we’d need to throw away just to play pretend chip maker then we will never get to the finish line of being not only independent but dominate. Participation is easy, but leading has a cost that not everyone is willing to pay

Even if it was just about money who cares? If companies are making profits that means there’s an opportunity to raise wages. People seem to think unions are the problem because employees want more wages, but the fact is that employees want more wages and companies want more profits and because a company will never decrease profits any time workers win it’s seen as a loss for the consumer, which is insane the only people who always look good are the investors who are putting in zero effort towards the company
