Spoken like a Free Traitorâ„¢
I disagree - spoken like an American who believes he has the God given right to pick up the phone or turn on the computer and conduct lawful business with any other person in the world.
American industrial workers are the most productive in the world.
We create 3X to 4X more value per worker than the Chinese. Before Covid, and adjusted for inflation, the USA was producing more industrial goods by dollar value - with 40% fewer workers - than we produced in 1980.
Automation, expert software, and free enterprise capitalism are the industrial future.
There is no doubt in my mind that the USA will lead that future.
