Whats wrong with any of that? Banning sounds childish but the best fix for someone who is not interested in their work is to fire them, not coddle them. Keeping them around is a net drain on the company. Of course if you're biased towa

It took close to 70 years after the wright brothers before people en-mass felt safe to fly in an iron cage at 36,000ft. So yes, AI cars "work" but you have to ask yourself if you'd let it pickup your kids. I think the answer

The problem is that every country can curtail trade. The world is far more interlocked now and any country trying to extract itself from that reality will undoubtedly go into an economic recession.

Your assertion - "China has brought European solar, steel and electronics production to its knees" via X,Y,Z is a very broad assertion. Your evidence for that is merely circumstantial. You expect the reader to connect the dots wit

How are these startups planning to pay back the VC money? The poor don't exactly have a lot of money. Where are they going to get the money from? I am skeptical anytime a VC invests in "solving poverty".

The whole thing just reveals Apple's bullshit. They oppose right to repair laws and block third party repair by denying them access to parts. The fact that despite all the obstruction and sabotage from apple, you can still get parts is
