50 years of the US, West Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan signing treaties and international agreements to hurt their economy and citizen's economic future.
Asking, and using trade policies to encourage the rest of the world with its 75% of the global population to reduce their pollution and environmental destruction is a good thing.

The need to be part of something bigger, a cause, a crusade, a permanent protest or whatever to call it drops off when you hit 30 years old.
Many news sites, outrage of the day blogs, and other rage bait sites cannot rely on millions of views and ad displays by producing click bait rage articles void of new facts and a hash of rage inducing stereotypes.
There will be a bump when the researchers have identified the thousands (millions?) of people who actively poison the well in any dating, relationship, raising children, having children, or marriage related social media groups.
Far too many persons have a need for retribution disparaging all people of group X because a person of group X treated me badly, did not let me use them for economic or social gain, hurt my feelings,
Spreading and promoting as a virtue, the inability to have a civil discussion of issues, social discourse, or other topics is a net negative to society.
Another "let the industry self-regulate itself" again before the negative effects of the industry get taken to task by the government regulators.
During the 2008 global financial crisis, the only part of the USA which did economically well was Washington DC and the surrounding area due to massive increased in federal government spending.
It is not racist to point out the majority group and the majority ethnicity.
This is the not the large industry of agitators who constantly comparing the ethnicity / gender percentages in only high-prestige / high-paid jobs to the same ethnicity
That comparison is to divide groups, ensure the agitators have jobs, and keep the victim hood narrative in place to help win elections.
Dividing us into angry groups fighting with one another prevents us as a whole working on improving social conditions, family formation, family economic stability, job stability, job growth, and reducing social ills - crime, poverty, mental health issues,
Coral reef though to be dead is living and in good shape.
Versus the steady "we are all going to die" news the media pushes to get clicks.
The federal government should pass a law that smart devices have to have a hardware switch to turn off all the smart components and smart hardware.
The basic functions of the tv, fridge, washing machine, etc. should keep working without ever needing to be connected to the internet, activated, updated or registered. Likewise, there should be a way to use the device without needing a login, biometric scan.
And right repair including that the repair tech cannot download device usage data and send it to the home office.
GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda and the big automakers added business risk for decades by increasing the cost, complexity and making vehicles harder to fix.
They have a very large vulnerability of a bare bones, well-made basic mid-sized truck priced under $20,000 USD. One that has easy to work on parts, manual features, little/no computers and minimal screens. A bare-bones truck, with power steering, power brakes, anti-lock breaks, rear camera and the minimum needed to be street legal is the opportunity.
Make it a modular vehicle with frame/steering/brakes in one module, engine/transmission in another module and cap in the third module.
I rode in a GM vehicle recently and the 19 inch or larger screen was not needed. Only the A/C controls and basic radio controls were needed. The rest of the "features" and unwanted glare from the screen added distraction risk during driving.

We should be beyond this repeated reporting of person X won an award - mention person demographics news reporting.
The nonprofit, UN, NGO, agitator groups who benefit from this reporting all need to have numbers to claim discrimination, oppression, or victimhood to keep the grievance industry and grievance jobs program going.
Imagine making a world class math discovery and then spending the next 50 years hearing "second woman Fields Award winner" always being first and foremost in reporting, introductions and discussion instead of "Solved a 300 year unsolved math problem and founded the entire branch of X mathematics resulting in huge improvements in living standards for poor countries."
Seems as though when yet even more biometric data, the user is the product can be harvested,
having slower or more complicated processes does not matter anymore.
Weren't these same companies all for off-shoring of jobs for the last 25 years?
Why the switch when it is off-shoring of product?
There are lots of uses for the glasses.
- Auto mechanics inspecting a vehicle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and lots more
- Technicians of different trades recording and sending video to the home office for help from an expert technician
- Regular inspections of buildings, construction sites, machinery,
The reporting should take the extra 20 minutes to get beyond starting with "men bad" by default narrative.
A news article about "How are smart glasses being used for bad?" should also include "How are smart glasses being used in a beneficial way?".
All power corrupts, but we need electricity.
