just ask yourself who is running the show?  a first-world country goes and creates technology, tries to build market barriers, and jack up prices as usual. germany makes solar panels with the goal of dominating the global market. then the chinese come in and make panels for 4% of the price, wiping germany out. tesla wants to take over the world with electric cars, but quickly gets swallowed by china. germany tries to dominate with bullet trains and maglevs. the chinese come up with the best trains in the world and cut the dependency. the u.s. tries to dominate the smartphone market, and china frees the world again. elon creates starlink; by 2030, china will have its own constellation up and running, and it'll be cheaper for everyone. american intelligence, along with tech magnates, tries to impose control over social media platforms, and the chinese swoop in, stealing an entire generation of young people for tiktok. causing a worldwide mess. now we're in the al boom, and everyone's racing to create the best engines. meta, alphabet, openal, x, trump-they make a pact of investment like never seen before. the next day, the chinese invent a way to run al on a raspberry pi, putting nvidia and those clueless americans to shame. how do these killjoys manage to be so based and ahead of the game?
