Why would we do that when half the country votes to remain a service economy every few years? Service economies don't produce, they consume what others produce. You want better engineering? Vote for manufacturing here and we can solve China's and the United States pollution problems. Otherwise, why learn engineering when the jobs are overseas? It's like telling everyone "learn to code" knowing full well you intend to eliminate a lot of their jobs with AI and outsource the rest before they even get out of college.

Comment Taking bets on life span (Score 1) 33

A Microsoft handheld that can abandoned in two years tops. I'm sure it will flop because that is Microsoft's MO. They are unwilling to push hard enough and long enough to get into a market so every single thing they do fails.

They had good hardware at one time, keyboards, mice, trackballs, etc., but I wouldn't buy any hardware from them now. Their tablet is a glorified update machine that is rebooting to do updates every single time I pick it up to the point I took the loss and just quit using it. It's been charging for 3 years now on my bookshelf as a reminder to never trust Microsoft.

You don't get a choice for voting. You're getting a pre-selected person who is bankrolled by one of the existing power structures and has already been vetted and confirmed for compliance. Everyone else is left unfunded and fades away. That's the reality. Voting is a joke in the US.
