      literally no capitalist industry is going to outcompete China in anything anymore in because they literally can not afford to in the vagaries of the market as private monopolist entities beholden to the interests they are; Most major companies based in the US been inflating their own value for their shareholders and investors with things like stock buyback book padding for 2 decades (and tech companies are among the worst offenders — them and airline companies, but it’s universal with capitalist corporations); which is all value not reinvested as productive or RND capital, meaning not tied to any metric of productivity or growth or improvement in anything, spelling nothingness in the long term for the capitalist, and in all terms for the (ever-growing and ever-poorer with no expansion of industry from reinvestment) working class. That these capitalists aren’t reckoning with that, I take great glee in. Because it is their end.

    Anytime a politician (or billionaire) begins a statement along the lines of “let me be clear” you can pretty much guarantee that the next thing they say is going to be a chest puffing lie.
