On the other hand, you can’t develop a technology if you have no knowledge of its inner workings.
This is an issue the US finds itself in now as it tries to onshore manufacturing again after allowing someone else to play middle man for decades.
Yes, the US has plenty of capital resources but that doesn’t directly translate into production when you have to setup not just a single factory but an entire supply chain.
Arguments in favor of US politics which are based on "mature markets" and "capital" have become extremely weak since they started dismantling Fed autonomy and used ChatGPT to roll the dice on random tariffs.
It doesn't help that the clever talking heads behind US "capital" such as Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and David Sacks have outed themselves as complete and utter morons.
