China CANNOT be our sole supplier of ANYthing, regardless of cost
What are they the sole supplier of? It's not medicine, they're 13% or less of the ingredients used in US meds.
Their strength comes from rare earth reserves, about 50% of the current global supply. We are relative paupers.
Which sums up partisan forums in a nutshell. Dems are in office, the world is ending. Repubs are in office, the world is ending.
Nah, you're just both making inflation worse.
Stop being such a fucking pussy.
You're a doomer faggot, but I'm willing to overlook it.
That was already happening. We're 16 years into it. Pivot to Asia, TPP, China Plus One, CHIPS and Science Act, IPEF. Obama, Trump, Biden. It was great for small businesses. Wasn't really a need to slam the gas pedal on that one.
Will PC manufacturers don't make things component by component. They buy boards and things like that I doubt they fucking load their own boards and all that. But who cares. This shit will work out.
That's how global supply chains work. Undermining that works out one way, cost-push inflation.
You should go have a conversation with ChatGPT about what a False Dichotomy is lol.
Scare mongering.
In my industry they're moving to all American and one firm in particular out of Van Nuys is kicking ass om pricing compared to the ching chong dependant lift master. A better product about 25% under liftmaster
Your Van Nuys company is China dependent. They're not making the PCBs, caps, etc. They're in the exact same situation the PC assembler is. Those parts don't come from America.
I'm not able to sit through two hours of this.
What the gist of what the fattie is saying?
He sits down with a American gaming PC manufacturer who explains component by component, and by components I mean down to caps on a mobo, where everything comes from, what's happening to pricing, and why "just make it all in America" is a meme not reality.
the tldr: say goodbye to gaming PCs unless you're affluent.
Make sure you add the dogshit to your shopping cart, so you can see the upcharges.

Taxi drivers vs Motel 6 owners, not sure how that will end.
In a dance battle.
Imagine trying to tell Debbie Rihn Harvey girls can't fly 
one of the acrobatic guys died practice for a show last week. Word is he ripped the wing off his MXS.
Or Indy?
Nope. Most of the criticism of it was Russian propaganda fueled by the same fucktard that claimed the Bradley was a giant piece of shit. Dems in particular love that kind of news. They even made a movie about it, starred Kelsey Grammar.
"It was outturned by an F-16!"
"It has pilot height restrictions!"
morons.
El Jefe, perhaps we can incorporate Volcano Tours into the Helpful Flights....
Bonus points for historical accuracy? The Ali'i (aristocrats) sacrificed the sub-classes in them to appease the gods.
Without helicopters, or jeeps, it's a hell of a walk just to stab somebody.
It was a 400' plume when I was there. It hit 1000' a month after we left. Ate at The Rim @ Volcano House, mediocre food but amazing view.
It's been erupting on & off for months. It was having a "volcanic episode" while I was there in March.
The modern inverters have smart metering. Buy low, sell high, it's all automatic. Leaves enough in the tank for short outages, lowers your power bill significantly enough the rack will pay for itself by the end of its warranty period.
When you get hit by the tornado last year like I did, then the 300 lbs of reserve propane and whole home generator fire.
Hmm, what's wrong with deep cycle?
Home battery technology moved on to lifepo4. Double the cycles. Simple rack mount chassis. Ask chatgpt which you should use.
