Comment bad news for us good news for China. (Score 4, Interesting) 17

This is great news for China in the long term. They are rapidly catching up in the microprocessor and fab side of things, shit like this just spurs more investment from them and will leave the rest of us out in the cold as they move past us like they did with EV's. These sort of artificial barriers are short term thinking from morons that can't perceive the long term effects.

You have no clue, the majority of art is produced for commercial sale. Very little to not human expression goes into it as the goal is to sell not to be artistic. My wife has zero expression in most of what she produces for sale as it is just making 2hat she knows people want, any computer could do the same.

manufacturing cost of most items is only a tiny fraction of the retail price, yes that could partly be price gouging, but it also includes all the costs for marketing, shipping, packaging, DOA returns, the people that actually design and build the thing which I bet is also not included in his costs, taxes, insurance and of course profit margin. you will find many items that sell at not just 500% but literally 1000% increase of the raw manufacturing cost and often that only includes a relatively small profit margin
