Are you intentionally being obtuse and thinking I was only talking about sneakers? Obviously I’m talking about trying to keep a wide range of vital goods manufactured within the US. Food, weapons, chip fabs, electrical components, pharmaceu

Except for the whole military superpower thing. The US is actually in a somewhat unique situation compared to other countries.

That completely discounts the strategic value of self-sufficiency. I mean, why not outsource ALL manufacturing and agriculture if someone else can do it cheaper? Surely that wouldn't come back to bite us, right?

In the US, copyright is assigned to whoever takes a photograph. Pushing a button on your phone isn’t much work at all and yet the courts think that’s enough effort to allow someone to claim copyright over the work. So I don’t think the clai

Nothing, you're right. It's JD Vance who's weird, not the man wearing dresses that he steals from airplane luggage.
