They question is why that is? Why these things won't be made in the US and they cannot be inexpensive? Tariffs are the tax consumers are paying for compliance with environmental and labor regulation and minimum wage laws. Compliance comes at a cost and someone has to pay for it. Naturally, it is cheaper to produce goods in a sweatshop while dumping chemicals into nearby river. Perhaps there are goods reasons not to import these products or make them more expensive.

5 years ago, when universities dropped SAT and entry exams requirements, people warned that it would lower the quality of graduates and create employment problems. Looks like they were right.

These fears are imaginary. If insurance companies were allowed or needed your DNA, they would just require testing as part of underwriting. For example, life insurance companies already test for cholesterol. It would be trivial for them to run genetic test on the same sample.

Chinese don't want those jobs either. They need those jobs to survive. The way the world unfolds, what Americans "want" will no longer be relevant in the long term. They will have no choice but to take those jobs. US government can slow down this process but they cannot stop it - Trump or no Trump.

This is simplistic way to look at the problem. US intelligence operations have been plagued by bureaucracy. The field officers are primary evaluated on their primary task of developing the assets and gathering intelligence. Counterintelligence work is often overlook. What is more alarming is not the number of informants captured or killed but the number of informants turned double-agents. CIA, like the rest of US government, is growing more and more bureaucratic and therefore more rigid and not being able to adapt to the new realities.

Ionization is always present around high- voltage lines. Interactions between ionized air and power lines can cause vibrations (humming) or UV spectrum emissions (glow). This changes conductive properties of power lines and causes minor power fluctuations and oscillations in the grid. In extreme cases these oscillations resonate with transformers causing voltage drops or overloads. These are almost impossible to predict though and extremely unlikely.

Engineers who built these companies worked 80 hour weeks 20 years ago.

Any sci-fi fan would know that AI in military applications is inevitable. There will be some hiccups along the way but humans usually prevail in the end. The ones who survive nuclear winter that is.

Nah, majority of first world people take prozac when dealing with adversity. People only grow when they deal with the problems instead of avoiding them or blaming them on something else like "unfair system". US schools do not promote that approach.

It is nothing personal. RTO was a response to people abusing WFH policies. I am sure people will abuse "neurodivergent" exception should it be implemented. Your best bet is to find a permanent remote job instead of hoping for exceptions.

EU charges 45% tariff on EV cars made in China. The rest of the world will continue to trade with US. They don't have much choice.

Give it a couple of decades and everyone will have bunch of tiny holes in their skulls.

People tend to overestimate their importance. Their DNA is about as valuable as their nail clippings.

...and you derived all this from one-sided summary on Slashdot? Free speech does not free someone from consequences of supporting known terrorist groups.
