Comment Re:The State has overplayed its hand. (Score 1) 84

> hey could have paid higher wages, guaranteed health care coverage, and made sure everyone had a place to sleep and food to eat. They still would have been ungodly wealthy. But instead they screwed over most workers, and overplayed their hand.

C'mon, everyone here is an engineer. See the entire system!

The people at the top do no magically get money. They get money because people on the middle is allowed to steal/exploit a little for themselves. it's a factorial sum, where further from the top you approach to zero.

By accepting that someone can get billions, and knowing that it is impossible to get billions by one's own accord, you also accept that this chain of stealing/exploitation (oligarchy) is also allowed. And here, the alienated worker will glady receive the wip to the back because "tomorrow he can be the one making a billion"

Comment It is about Nvidia. (Score 3, Interesting) 102

Nvidia produces most of its products on Taiwan.[0] And their very low end and low volume mainland china.

CCP is probably forcing their hand to move more highend/highvolume production to mainland, to boost china-2025 program.

Nvidia is maneuvering this by buying ARM, and effectively having lots of production on mainland.

Some group in the CCP do not like that compromise and Allen Wu is in it.

Ah, american puritanism at its finest.

that's the stupid reason for social money, which is devised by smart economists to foster local business, regardless of what they are. Social money accepts that the market serves itself. It's just a small push to focus the spend locally, much like actual money does in a country scale. Everyone deserve to buy their drugs, just do it locally and the social money worked it purpose.
