tfw your passion is assembling semiconductors for long hours and little pay

Americans work long shifts because they have to. a TSMC job is gonna pay more than McDonalds and plenty of people still work 60+ hours a week there, nobody's gonna turn down decent jobs cause the hours suck

what i'm hearing is that we need to remove the safety net and increase unemployment to fix this problem :capitalism:

I saw some talk of a new book pop up in my Twitter feed, "The East is Still Red – Chinese Socialism in the 21st Century" by Carlos Martinez.

It looks interesting and I was thinking of placing an order, anybody know anything about the book or the author?

he's been on a few programs with ben norton, danny haiphong and friends of socialist china so his opinions are generally in that sphere

here's a video of him talking about the new book: https://www.youtube.com/live/_79-6B5w_uo?feature=share

But a swift response may not be possible, in large part because of how shrunken the U.S. manufacturing base has become since the Cold War. All of a sudden, Washington is reckoning with the fact that so many parts and pieces of munitions, planes, and ships it needs are being manufactured overseas, including in China.

The Biden administration has made some efforts to change this. Under the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, Congress required the Navy to increase the number of its combat ships to 355 (from fewer than 300 now) “as soon as practicable.” But the DoD’s building plans don’t make that feasible for decades, perhaps until the 2050s. Meanwhile, under China’s more autocratic, less bureaucratic system, the People’s Liberation Army Navy passed the U.S. Navy in fleet size around 2020, now has around 340 warships and is expected to grow to 400 ships by 2025, according to the Pentagon’s 2022 China Military Power Report. The U.S. is currently building only 1.2 subs a year (despite a congressional requirement for two a year), and Biden’s fiscal 2024 budget calls for building only nine new battle force ships.

i hope this is true and everything but how stupid are the people running these countries? Of course the Americans and Israelis are loving with you, they're loving with everyone including each other. What the gently caress!

someone had to literally come into the room and go "hmmm wouldn't it be weird if the guys you depend on for intel were using this dependency to really gently caress with you"

Strategically, we must utterly despise U.S. imperialism. Tactically, we must take it seriously. In struggling against it, we must take each battle, each encounter, seriously. At present, the United States is powerful, but when looked at in a broader perspective, as a whole and from a long-term viewpoint, it has no popular support, its policies are disliked by the people, because it oppresses and exploits them. For this reason, the tiger is doomed.
