Is it ridiculous to expect an economy, such as the US, to produce things of value?
The author of the post you are responding to has a valid point. Consumption alone isn't sustainable.
- bloppe 1y agoNobody's arguing in favor of producing nothing. We're just saying there's something called comparative advantage and it's about maximizing efficiency. The US has no business manufacturing chips for strictly economic reasons. But when you consider national security concerns it looks different
- NonHyloMorph 1y agoWhere is that idea coming from that you will be able to choose? Like there will be 2 versions of the same product on the shelves with one reading made in the usa and 5-20% more expensive? That's silly
- bloppe 1y agoLol read the article
- NonHyloMorph 1y agoMight be that the archived version is cut, but can't find anything contradicting the assumption that it will not be the case, that two lines of the same product (one taiwan manufactured and one US manufactured) will exist... which would be silly.
