    Capitalism bad because India scary? The solution is not to sabotage India but to stop autocucking yourself with idiocracy. China yesterday, India today, Indonesia tomorrow. Let the people work and raise themselves out of poverty. The 21st century is now. Clinging to to the 20th where the Industrial Revolution feared automation is like all these novice artists trying to stop AI. The cat is out of the bag, you can get with the times or become obsolete. Also quantity isn’t everything, if it was there would be billboards and psyops to get women to have 10 kids.

      “The 22st century is now”

      Yeah so where are our local PCB manufacturing facilities? They’re easy enough to create I’m halfway to making my own in my garage, surely great capitalism would have no issue emulating this

      And this is just one example of a million technological capabilities that were still stuck in the 60’s for cause it was cheap

      If you don’t under the dangers of sending SWE jobs for critical digital infrastructure to foreign countries then you should read up on what happened with CrowdStrike.

      Also, ignoring the fact that capitalism is destroying the planet, capitalism is failing the working class and our country in many ways. Everytime talented workers are laid off to inflate quarterly profits it does enormous harm to workers and the loss of expertise destroys future wealth.
