I doubt Andreesen wrote all this with straight face. This part is especially egregious: >The problem is desire. We need to want these things. The problem is inertia. We need to want these things more than we want to prevent these things. The problem is regulatory capture. We need to want new companies to build these things, even if incumbents don’t like it, even if only to force the incumbents to build these things. And the problem is will. We need to build these things. No Mark the problem is that American labor is overvalued and the Government does not subsidize it like it does for Agriculture. Why, you ask? Because manufacturing does not get you swing states. American Manufacturing can rise again if there are no expectations of profit. Which is only possible with Government money. Or if you are Elon Musk, and can convince private investors to lose money for no reason.
