The US has been a bully for at least a century too even if maybe a slightly less authoritarian one than China.
Even if he would keep things stable for the remainder of his term that is still not even close to enough time for the majority of factories to be built, start production and reach profitability and it is extremely unlikely that his successor would keep the tariffs around unchanged too.
But that is the entire point of responsibility diffusion. Everyone knows murder is wrong but what about 100 people each making 1% of the decisions that leads to a loss of life? What about 10000 each making 0.01%? At which point does an individual feel sufficiently detached from the consequences of their actions to make choices that would go beyond their own morals if responsibility was concentrated on them alone?
Our age will eventually (assuming our species survives) be known as the age of responsibility diffusion. Companies, bureaucracies, AI, they are all just different mechanisms to achieve the same thing, detach the people from any sense of responsibility for the outcome of their horrible choices.
You do realize that employers do pay a share of the healthcare cost in other countries too? They are just not given as many choices about it as in the US.
He is. He is an advocate for the concept that his own speech should be free from any consequences for him.
Trusting any foreign government is silly if it is about something where your and their interests don't align (or might diverge in the future), trusting any foreign government makes sense if it is about something where you are sure interests will stay aligned for the relevant time period. Governments are not people, you can't make friends with governments or trust them with matter 10 because matters 1-9 all worked out okay.
If anything what we need right now is a more skeptical look at the past and the future as people are trying to sell us utopian visions of either as the solution to all our problems.
This man is a toddler with a flamethrower having a tantrum.
More like one flamethrower in each hand.
No one is scared to visit an east/southeast asian country.
North Korea might be an exception here.
Most Indie games work fine. It is just the AAA crap that somehow can't be bothered to make their stuff work on anything but Windows.
Not my point. Obviously the US system is complete shit but the healthcare cost is still part of the cost of labor for production of goods in other countries too.
