It's one of those, you've seen enough articles, time to get on the email list, kinda things.

If a billionaire is in actual trouble, he's in China. US would have bailed out Evergrande.
The existing auto industry would squash this as quickly and effectively as possible, we'd absolutely need a command economy to put something like this through.
So business as usual?
They say "never shit a shitter", but apparently it should be "always shit a shitter".
We made an automaton clerk. It has neither arms nor body, but it works all day translating physician's documents, so they may be stored with uniformity in a library that has neither shelves nor paper.
I bet they'd be doing a lot better if the US hadn't stolen $7B USD from their central bank, or you know, bombed the country into oblivion for two decades, or armed and trained the Mujahideen (including Osama) against the Soviets when they wanted to assist Afghanistan's socialist development. No, blame it all on the Taliban, an organization that profoundly reflects US involvement. That way Western capitalist press can manufacture consent for more US involvement. I'm sure Afghani people are hoping we'll "help" more. There is no price too great, if we can raise revenue for US arms manufacturers.
The US foreign policy serves to create a demand for their arms industry. It's counterproductive to maintaining peace. Drastic changes would need to take place for this to be a possibility. I'm in favor of those changes. The American military industrial complex is a bigger threat to Americans than Putin is. It's certainly a bigger threat to other countries. The US has had no need to be involved in a conflict it's been in for almost 80 years. The military has literally done us no good since Arpanet.
