Y'all know why the US is freaking out about Chinese innovation? Because America decided stock prices were of the utmost importance and stopped innovating a long time ago. They really only pissed off because China is playing a different game (the game we originally stomped them at) and kicking our asses in the process. Maybe if we stopped playing the market and started making good shit again, we'd have less to complain about.
Billionaires engineered all of this. The whole stock price over innovation mindset was to extract American wealth and cripple American power. They want no power to exist that can reign in their own power. The battle for equity never ends. The billionaires and their ghouls never stop. Never trust the government to stay honest, we have to keep them honest.
