If you can get people to stop buying from China, Seize the means of production, and then live a materially worse life I’m all for it. We currently have a bunch of people crying about RAM prices stopping them from playing the latest triple AAA video game so I doubt that will happen
Businesses/orgs that have smart leaders
So very few
But agreed its easy for centralized businesses/entities to eventually migrate their stuff into quantum secure systems. Theirs like a 100B for whoever can crack satoshi’s bitcoin keys
Marx himself wrote this long ass book explaining the capitalism of his time, yet modern leftist have no interest understanding the capitalism of their time.
forgot to specify asymmetric encryption good point
Who are these people who are constantly talking about cross-fit, veganism, and linux irl.
Crypto seems like alot lower on the list of problems that will happen if encryption no longer works
Shipping stuff is cheap if you have alot of it for example
https://freightify.com/ship-containers/china puts a 40ft container at max $6000, which in practice can fit around 26000kg, so per kg you are paying around 26 cents per kg shipped. You would get even better deals I assume if you had contracts setup to do bulk business with freighters
Yeah I also didn’t think of the translation part too, good point
It is quite literally giving the consumer what they want, unfortunately the consumers are dumb
to anyone with half a brain yeah
Surely we can charge more than 1B
“No One in This World Has Ever Lost Money by Underestimating the Intelligence of the Great Masses of the Plain People”
Working at Big Tech companies all I can say is their are whole teams trying to find ways to hill climb revenue using analytics. Given we have seen media like Music continue to get shorter and focus on moments that can fit into a tiktok video, I think its safe to say if Netflix thought they could make a lot of money with better writing, they would push for that and create an HBO or AppleTV style model for content.
You have a idea of war informed by Hollywood and WW2 documentaries, war is both more normal and more horrifying than you think.
I wonder if its due to how closely Anime attempts to animate Manga? I feel like you can kind of “explain” what happens in text alot more smoothly than on a TV show due to how much faster you ingest knowledge.
people like the idea of liking good stuff, they do not like good stuff. This is the #1 rule of making money
We need a Georgist community on lemmy. Rent Seekers BEGONE
You can get Chinese prices if your citizens are willing to work like the Chinese, no one in the West will.
Autarky is also largely a degrowth argument, most Westerners already feel like they should consume even more so it’s impossible to win unless your voters fall for Donald Trump esque arguments. The modern Westerner lives one of the most opulent lives in the world history on the back of cheap third world labor.
edit: If you believe the Trump admin has a plan, they are trying to thread needle by devaluing the US Dollar just enough to incentivize manufacturing, but keeping it high enough that the average US consumer doesn’t feel the hit. They then leverage tariffs for preferential trade deals with other countries. I don’t think its really working but its the only way you could revitalize manufacturing in the west at this point
No they will just get mad about how they can’t understand the movie and stop watching. This is a response for the fact that movie’s that do restate the plot get more views/watchtime.
Look at like shonen anime aimed at kids, they basically say exactly what happened every minute for the same reason
Donnie at it again
Be extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness - Sun Tzu
Art of the deal strikes again folks!
I think all volumes of capital combined are like 1000 pages?
