  1.  @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.

  2.  @i6power30  If you read Putin's Feb 2022 "Historical Russia" speech about a Soviet Reunion. You get a different impression. The Russians have translated it into English.

  3.  @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.

  4.  @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.

  5.  @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.

  6. Maybe in the days of newspapers. We are in the I'net age.

  7.  @henli-rw5dw  3 billion 'houses' - 1 billion occupants. 2/3rds of the market is worth zero.

  8.  @henli-rw5dw  Housing for 3 billion. One billion population. 2/3rds of the housing is worth zero.

  9.  @henli-rw5dw  I was not giving financial advice. Just a very rough estimate of the problem.

  10. The moon has a radiation problem. 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)

  11. It only covers the first twenty years of the five year plan. Kinda like Russia's three day invasion of Ukraine.

  13. 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.

  16.  @sayrebonifield4663  Even AI can't beat a million deciders. And then there are the twitches and unexpected shifts which are to a distant enough observer - random.

  17.  @308_Negra_Arroyo_Lane  Yes. My point is 'central planning' is used normally for a lot of things.

  18. 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.

  19.  @majorowe  All that means is a large MOE. So it may be only 80% that think that. (I'd have to look it up - I'm not gonna)

  20.  @iGoldenWax  It just means a large MOE. With 100% to 0% it is not going to matter a lot.

  23. Doesn't matter. "Made in China bought in America" no longer works the way it used to.

  24.  @walterbolter4320  The Chinese Government has a problem. It doesn't like independent creators. Yes they have the tools (until they are obsolete). Will they be allowed to use them?

  25. China has rolling electrical blackouts in its capitol. Evidently the super power is short of power.

  26.  @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

  27. Abused children have power and control issues. Putin is an abused child. Xi is an alcoholic - often a symptom of child abuse.

  30. 3 Billion 'houses' for 1 billion people doesn't work. The value of unused housing is negative (maintenance).

  32. Drugs from the British were a big problem. China made the problem bigger by making the drugs illegal.

  33. Maoism (uniparty dictatorship, an emperor) appears to be inherent and not imposed. They are reverting to it.

  34. I designed the I/O Board that went into the World's First BBS. We barely had an inkling. You're welcome. Every day I feel a little like Tesla when the lights came on at night. An idea manifest.

  35. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov laments Tucker Carlson firing. And who can forget 'Genius Putin' ? Russia is a Prison House of Nations. Want to help with the prison break?

  36. 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?

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