Keep dreaming. Raw materials are scarce, so everything else will be do.
The "way out of this in America" is that we all become slightly poorer, the Chinese all get a lot richer, and manufacturing starts coming back to the US.
- marshallp 15y agoHow is that a dream? Post-scarcity has already hit the digital world, the material world isn't far off - the only limitation currently is in computer vision software. The real problem isn't china, it's automation. The only solution other than increased welfare (which the current political system won't allow), is to make everyone self-sufficient through robots in the home. Materials aren't scarce, if they were, the centralized production system would feel it too.
