" the goal is for the U.S. to dominate manufacturing in an AI driven, robotic factory world."

The real question is whether software tech dweebs have the engineering power to actually construct an alternate fully-automated industrial infrastructure. I suspect their capabilities are too shallow to succeed in the short-term.

The roots of industrial technology are ancient and deep, in ways that financialized imbeciles do not begin to comprehend.

Agreed. Their commitment to a project that creates mass unemployment without a pre-existing social safety net is proof of their callousness and casual sadism.

And also their commitment to a "eugenic" culling of the population that is surplus to requirements. RFK Jr. using HHS to spread disease and death is probably part of the equation.
