  1. "Americans don't particularly like having to walk around on eggshells as to not offend some tin pot dictator." Preach it bro.

  2. "They discovered the sensors had never been activated while over the United States." So they turned them off? And you expect me to believe that?

  3. You raise rates for inflation. You lower rates for deflation. China is deflating.

  4. The 5% happens over a year. The $18 trillion happened all at once. - For clarification.

  5.  @MnemonicHack  Made in Japan = Made in China, Until the 1980s and Edward Deming taking hold. I'm older than transistors. As an E. engineer at that time I helped American industry get back on track.

  6. The US Government does not intend to decouple from China. American citizens and businesses may have a different opinion.

  7. Depends. Loyalty on the list with merit foremost? Sounds good to me if you want a cohesive organization.

  9. Intensifying Drug Control efforts raises cartel profits. It increases the "risk premium". The Minister is asking for higher profits for illegal drug suppliers (China). Medical schools in America teach - addiction is a symptom of PTSD. Dr. Lonny Shavelson found that 70% of female heroin addicts had been sexually abused in childhood. Demand is inelastic.

  15.  @charlesharper2357  Very nice. Except I actually lived through the era and before about 1980 Japan had the same reputation for quality as China does now. Read the history of Edward Deming - quality Japan. It will corroborate what I have said re-Japanese manufacturing quality. The rise of Japanese quality spurred the Americans. I participated in that. I'm older than transistors.

  27. International Lunar Research Station? What about the radiation? Read MIL-PRF-38535 (there is a wiki). Then consider ==> Radiation LD50/30 is ~400 rems for humans. LD100/10 ~1,000 rem. About 100 to 200 rem short term causes radiation sickness. (1 rem=0.01 sievert)

  28. Mild cases are normal after a short deadly phase of corona viruses. It is why vaccination against the virus is near useless. It mutates too fast.

  29. Xi is an alcoholic. That is a symptom of PTSD. Hitler was an abused child. Look up ==> Power and Control "October 7th - We are fighting a mental illness"

  30.  @jerryrichardson2799  He is so clear and simple about Geopolitics. It has revised my understanding considerably. I can't wait until he, or someone else, catches up with ==> Hitler was an abused child. Stalin too. So is Putin. Abused children are angry. Permanently. They have no human empathy. They crave power and control. Sound like any politician you know? (approximately all of them).

  38.  @occamraiser  "they make Trump look thick skinned, mature and stable." Because he is. Almost all politicians have the narcissism associated with abused child PTSD. Some have given up the associated anger. I think Trump is one of those. Some (Xi in my estimate) have not. Hitler was definitely in the "have not given up the anger" category.

  41. "hoping problems on the Red Sea have a greater negative impact on Western commerce." It will have a greater negative impact on Western imports from China. And Chinese food and energy imports. China is very smart.

  46.  @saraseale2364  Origin of difficulties? OK. Abused child PTSD is the commonest mental illness in America. No one talks about it. Why? Child abuse causes narcissism. The desire to stand in front of crowds. To be noticed. Such desire is not normal. Entertainers and politicians. Almost everyone in the public eye has it or had it. It also causes a craving for power and control. Needs crowds, wants power and control. "Wants to be a politician" is the obvious next step. Child abuse tends to cause deviance. That means they are ALL susceptible to Epstein and Diddy.

  51.  @i6power30  John Mearsheimer is a Russian tool. Read Putin's Feb 2022 "Historical Russia" speech about a Soviet Reunion. The Russians have translated it into English. The Russians will be at war until the Soviet Reunion is complete or failure.

  53.  @bobwatson8754  Yes. I did a gig at Motorola during the era (different Chicago area plant). We all were TQM and MTBF crazy. "Beat the Japanese" was on everyone's mind.

  54.  @charlesharper2357  None the less in 1975 Japanese reputation for quality was just starting to rise in America. Japan's reputation for quality (cheap Japanese junk) was common. "Made for each other, Made in Japan" was an epithet. By 1980 American attitudes changed. If my memory serves of course.
    1
  55.  @charlesharper2357  Well, all I can tell you is what I remember from the period. Japan was known for cheap Japanese junk until about the mid 70s. By 1980 the old reputation was mostly gore. I was an EE in American industry at the time. Japan forced us to get obsessed with TQM and MTBF. Because we had ignored our own guy - Deming.

  63. It is in Chinas interest to disengage before the war. The US is of a similar opinion. In the US watch what industry does. It is disengaging at a furious pace. Re: Taiwan - if war comes all the semiconductor experts and families will be paid to come to the US. China gets a bunch of junk it can't operate.

  68. The US just sent military aid to Taiwan under a law that requires that aid to go to a country. That is a strong signal from what appears to be a weak administration.

  76.  @ChinaUpdate  Hitler was an abused child. Marx was an abused child. Stalin was an abused child. Putin is an abused child. The displaced rage from their abuse dissolved their morals. The anger and the accompanying narcissism are the disease. Abused children are angry Permanently. They have no human empathy. They crave power and control. https://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/2023/12/the-role-of-ptsd-in-history.html

  86. Corey, Could you get a word in about this? Dr. Lonny Shavelson in his book "Hooked" said that 70% of female heroin addicts had been sexually abused in childhood. We are making war on abused children. According to receptor science (100+ years old) there are NO addictive drugs. Drugs fill receptors. What empties receptors (injury, PTSD) causes a desire for pain relieving drugs. Drugs CAN'T cause addiction. People take pain relievers to relieve pain. Running a war based on lies. Where have I heard that before?

  87. Abused child PTSD is a mental illness. Marx was an abused child.
