> A lot of the anti-china stuff is coming from the top, the CHIPS act is a great example. I mean... TSMC is based in Taiwan, and if China were ever to invade they'd have a vested interest in kneecapping American businesses that currently rely on that chip supply (AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm all come to mind) -- for any of a list of reasons ranging from turnabout over the whole Huawei thing to just the obvious incentive to turn that manufacturing capacity toward producing a domestic supply. In that context, building up domestic suppliers of our own is just a reasonable precaution. > I think taking down Amazon and maybe busting them up ala AT&T would be a feather in Biden's cap with the liberals and the right thing to do. Then they need to go after Google and Facebook. But also yes, I'm with you on this wholeheartedly. I'd further add, given we have a history of breaking up telecom companies specifically for amassing too much market power that you as a consumer to avoid them, that we should probably turn the same to most ISPs. Also that it's baffling that no one's gone after Apple over iMessage, what with the way it actively makes text chains worse the moment anyone involved isn't a customer of theirs.
