The CCP has already moved to restrict companies from purchasing Nvidia chips a few months ago.

Amazon is built on bubblegum and Scotch tape. One of their key leadership ideals is frugalness. IE being a cheap bastard.
M$FT, always late to the game. Phones, tablets, cloud, and AI. They've done nothing since windows 95 and office.

Works in Taiwan. The more you make the more you pay for your insurance premium. But there is a cap.

Elective surgery and some other types of treatment aren't covered but it works well. An ER trip with my kid costs me 20 bucks usd.

Clinics are feeders to hospitals and visits are less than ten bucks including medicine. Pharmacy is onsite.

Hospital wait times can be long. Ther is queueing which you can monitor on your phone.
As a former mechanic latex are far superior to nitrile. They can handle chemicals and not rip and fall apart as easily. Gloveworks hd latex is the brand I prefer but are more expensive than nitrile. If you are doing basic soy boy shite on your car then nitrile is fine.
That's not what he says he believes. He is debunking the 300-400 million. There is definitely more than that there.
The CEO of tik tok went to work for China's bytedance , the parent company. Cotton was addressing his ties with the CCP. Which in atiablt you do since you work for the largest revenue generating company in China.

Even my neighbor who is Taiwanese (I live in Taiwan btw) married to a Singaporean told me that Singapore is friendly with China in a bad way.

Tom Cotton was not dumb, he was trying to get the CEO to slip up.
What he means it's that China is more likely to harm its own citizens first. Such as destroying cash crops and making farmers grow rice and soy.
Media uses filters for their natrative. Same thing they did with Rogan when he was taking Ivermectin and they made him look yellow/sickly.
Night and day between him and Pence.

But he has factories in China and Europe capable of producing model 3's and Y's. Supply chains are also pretty well contained regionally too. Batteries might be the one thing that he's upset over.
He's competing now with fsd being released three. Chinese are posting videos and saying how Chinese self driving doesn't come close to the humans like driving of Tesla's fsd. Their software are full of bugs and built very cheaply.
This is what happened with Amazon when they enforced 3-day RTO. It's less about collaboration and more about getting rid of bloat without having to pay severance. Non-compliance is also seen as voluntary resignation.

Many countries issue golden visas.
The Yen has been getting kicked in the balls by the US dollar.
Unfortunately their kids and grandkids vote blue. I've seen this time and time again.

The parents are overwhelmingly conservative but since they push education at almost all costs , you end with kids in higher level institutions get indoctrinated.

If you mess with education and mess with the pathway these immigrants have, then they will vote against you.
Good example is in Seattle, Asians came out against affirmative action. The only thing is they are such a small population that there really is no significant impact.

We have to eat the pitfalls of DEI, affirmative action, and other "equity" programs and also accept the second classism and surface racism by whites in America.

However many are just grateful to have an opportunity, but statistically we have to work harder than other people groups.
Usually in single payer healthcare countries, you need to be living their actively for 180 days. This way you don't just travel back for healthcare reasons.

Although where I live people from the US do medical tourism. They get a complete check up for a third the cost.

I suspect the younger generation cheats their way through university. I remember study groups of Indian kids where maybe 10% knew what they were doing.


Many also lie on resumes and fake it until they make it. This was confirmed by an Indian friend who is also a Christian and his friends telling him to just lie to get a job but he felt conviction not to.

I have however worked with brilliant
ones that also worked their assess off. So a mixed bag in my experience.
Time to reboot "Jingle All the Way".

Because Im not going to argue with someone who knows jack about all we've had to done to ensure chips are built here, TSMC, ASML, NVIDIA and AMD will build chips here because we've made that possible, stuff we weren't doing 2016-2020.


Clearly you have no idea since TSMC produces Nvidia and AMD's most advanced chips since they don't have their own foundry.
