"At this point the US is the undisputed leader in almost nothing except military tech."
That's just ridiculous. Internet, software, airplanes, medical equipment, computers, entertainment, the list goes on.

- ericb 17y agoComputers? I think it depends what angle you squint at that one from.
- krschultz 17y agoThe one that includes Intel, AMD, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Cisco, Oracle, Google, oh and the NSA. Taiwan, China, and Japan have great centers of manufacturing and engineering but to say any single one has more "leadership" than the US is preposterous.
- ericb 17y agoLack of a clear "leader" elsewhere does not mean the US is the "undisputed leader" as you claimed--so that's a bit of a straw man. Again, it is a matter of definition. As far as I can tell, all of your examples who sell computers are selling computers manufactured in other countries, and the example of large computer consumers you give, which I'm not sure are relevant, are by and large using computers or outsourced parts manufactured elsewhere.
