That only bothers you because you're American. For everyone else, our hardware and software has already been phoning back home to Langley for decades, it's only fair the Chinese can get a piece of it too.

No. You can shit all you want over the antinuclear boys but: * Building nuclear plants is a 5-10 year plan. More if you haven't built them in a while. * The first economy in the world has quite literally started wars over oil because i

Yeah, I'd absolutely _love_ that my tax money goes to funding a US company. What could go wrong with depending on a hostile country for someone as basic as Internet ? If I found out my government blew 20k to slobber on Musk's ball
