To The Neos

Yes. Trump’s instincts on trade were and are correct. His execution is terrible. But at least he does understand it’s absolutely insane for a country as large as the US to outsource all manufacturing to other countries. It’s suicidal economically and politically.

Even saying that, to the neoliberals, is racism. But destroying your own manufacturing base and impoverishing 20% or more of your population in the process is far worse than that fake “racism.”

No Laws

Remember that when people say things like, “It’s impossible for humans to reproduce on Mars” or “We’ll never expand out into the galaxy,” that it was once thought impossible to even get to space or do things we now find trivial, like sending data across the planet nearly instantly.

If humans survive I expect all these things will happen eventually — it’s just that the techno-optimists have the timeline wrong. They think it’ll be in 20 or 50 years. I suspect more like 500 to 5,000 years.
