Where else are they going to get what they need? Not like the UK has big IT software firms to replace what they need or use. Sorry UK, the US is in the software driver seat right now. Just like China in the hardware drivers seat

The world is changing, but I am more inclined to think that this is more shenanigans from the Educational-industrial complex.

Companies are going back to the old ways. Including elite school networking. Also, companies assuming elite schools will make the best employees

There is probably a 99.9% chance this is just artificial scarcity to pump up prices. Companies feel they can get the extra cash, because the market will bare it right now. Probably after Christmas shopping season, prices may magically down some.

This is another clear example of the Educational-industrial complex's steady performance decline. The teachers, administrators, the education companies, etc.. Are just taking more and more education dollars, and living the good life. And yoy people thought the military-industrial complex was the problem. Ike was just covering for his brother's ass and his shenanigans

Red China is an evil communist dictatorship!

This will make it harder for spys to come and go into the country.

Unions have become an monopoly unto themselves. They require you to join just to work in the field and/or with a certain company. It should be an option, and if they are so good, people would join on their own accord. Also, union management is getting rich at the expense of the rank and file. Union leaders demand wages that will be so high, companies just leave America or shut down all together. Let's not forget union history with organized crime.

Drink tea you heathens

Under the 10th amendment, states have the right to make these kinds of laws.

I believe it when they are sitting in the dealerships

Companies are trying to maximize profit, by any means necessary. Follow the old saying, buyer beware.

It will still be for sale, or some other company or organization will make a comparable software app. Either way governments have it an unless you encrypt it, the government will have it

Amazon makes most of its profit from Web Services now. So, now you can complain about its Data Centers, vendor lock in, and co-opting open source software

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.8 percent in the second quarter of 2025 (April, May, and June), according to the third estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 0.6 percent (revised). The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected a decrease in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and an increase in consumer spending. These movements were partly offset by decreases in investment and exports.
