American consumers can "demand" whatever American farm & industry produce.  Use-it-here ... make-it-here. The industrial IP/history/capital/skills remain in America.  Excepting medical items, all other trade is either affectation ( womens shoes / Chinese GPUs  ) or political pander (Mexican Fords ). Like wise , American investors  who depend on American law/finance/military to generate  & conserve wealth can put their money where they live.

Removing Chinese made products from the American market is necessary , but not sufficient to protect our Angle-Western culture.  Globalist panders should understand that rigid tariff barriers are only a START to the required isolation from toxic influence, whether that influence is characterized as progressive, efficient, tolerant, collectivist, humanitarian, tyrannous or "nanny" statist. Consider Chinese trade a "coal-mine cannery" measuring corruption within Americas "estates general" ... or  fin-tekno-elite.

Nobody learns about Patreon watching UTube ... the text-string  "patreon" does appear, but what it does remains obscure ... thus unknown. The watcher/reader /listener of UTube has no contact whatsoever with patreon. What those other services/URLs/companies are/do remains a deeper mystery. I've never heard of them. A writer/website-builder etc who does use those services lives in a different universe than the viewer.

Identifying <good> or <bad>  code/text/math/art  is a lower intellectual skill than generating <good> or <bad> code/text/math/art . See any "skills" hierarchy for details. Without doubt, use of code-producing *.ai  deskills coders, in a way analogous to CNC machines  deskilling  lathe-workers. If the task-at-point is repetitive and the output a commodity  then machine automation proves  doable, cheaper and perhaps higher quality. Otherwise an extended form of Godels Theorem applies. The craftsman in Ohio who hand-built  my  olive-wood curve-bladed pairing-knife set  remains secure .

Who is so narrow-minded they believe language  translators are accountants? Surely not the people who translated  hieroglyphs ... Sanskrit ... cuneiform ... Linear-B etc.  Or who translate English into Russian during a nuclear confrontation ( we pray ...) .  So who then? Only  accountants ?

You seem to believe exams have something to do with taught lecture material. Indeed:   Bloomfeld rules K-12 , but Piaget rules Uni. For high school exams you teach to the testing; at Uni exams measure combinatorial structures that almost by definition  never  were taught. So you expect  (optimistically ) only 13% of a population gets their BS.  Other than self-interest, why does Harvard ignore well documented performance constraints?  Is frustration generosity?  So what about everyone else ? Simple.  Their < Best Money = B$ = best life > comes from their doing whatever pattern-matching or sensation  they do best ... whatever it is combinatorial logic does not rule. Really you can tell over-educated people all year  ... that Steinmetz did the maths while Einstein rowed against the bow wave ... and get back nothing , but a blank stare or contempt.

In-the-day, moving to a SC barrier island over-run with mosquitos I learned the trick locals used.  Somebody needs to buy Skin-So-Soft ! If you took the SSS "bath" bugs would gather like a cloud, but never land on your skin; absolute miracle ! Think of the investors.

I believe your brain is always active w.r.t. sensory input. For example, round stones become "roundness"  then a 3-d metric ... yellow flowers become "yellowness"  then components of a Fourier Transform etcetc. Human  brains just "mess" with every sensory input ... and we call that "creativity".
