America's Descent Into The Third World

snip glad you got that part of the story.

They do not have the means to legislate private equity. But they have the means to enforce a tariff on outsourced products or ban govt agencies from buying products not made mostly in the USA.

Recently the CEO of Intel was in China and he said that the chinese are capable of doing just abut every kind of h-w design that americans can. Its just a misconception that people in other poverty-stricken countries are stupid or that they are poor because they are poor. I know lots of engineers who have pbutted out recently and have never been to US or benefited from US-returned engineers. Many of the recent grads at the country level (not necessaerily the ones I know) should be able to give stiff compebreastion to the stanford-berkeley-ivy league pbutt outs. Most of the technically challenging work was done by me when NOT on an h1b visa and I do not miss the work I did in US one bit. The work Im doing now is more interesting and advanced technically than I ever did in the US.

There is always a possiblity that people in the 3rd world are backward because they are perenially struggling to survive and don't have the means to do basic-capital=intensive research.
