You could deregulate to hell. You won’t get Chinese skilled workers or Chinese supply chains from that and that’s where they’re killing the West. Getting those requires industrial development, patient capital investment (which is subsidized), and heavy regulation to make sure the companies don’t just steal your money. These are all answers the West is allergic to, so the neoliberals just say deregulate and the market will magic long term capital investment. Spoiler: it won’t.

how European Union regulation holds back their efforts to catch up

Yes, the problem in trying to compete with a country with extensive state led industrial policy is that you’ve got too much government. These neoliberal morons really try my patience.

I prefer calling them genocidaires.

How much of what? Which ruling class?

Ex: healthcare and childcare is unaffordable and collapsing everywhere because patriarchy refuses to accept that it’s something that once employed half of the population to do and is obviously going to be extremely expensive to maintain so they just expect free social labor to fill the gaps. This is true even in China.

No grip safety, literally unplayable.

Why put him in a high fall risk sock. He’s not a fall risk… Now meemaw is gonna take another tumble.

(Yellow typically denotes high fall risk in healthcare settings and this is a healthcare sock. Nurse life.)

You guys aren’t quite as turnkey as, say, Japan. They’ve got reprocessing and rocket production from JAXA and really would have to just put together an implosion device.

The convoy idea is so dumb that I can’t believe anyone said it out loud. Effective strategy against commerce raiders, which Iran explicitly does not have. Might as well offer to mount a CIWS on tankers and hope your insurance premiums will see it as a wash (they won’t). Makes as much sense as suggesting you counter drones with cavalry.
