There is no doubt that kill the head first

anytime someone says this country is "finished" or "destroyed" or that society is doomed it seems like it's usually a conservative. they've been saying this for years and we are still here. what's the deal yo?

Because they never define their terms. To them "finished" really means "someplace I don't like".

In a lot of ways China is far more advanced than we are. And they have smarter people, many times more of them, and they work harder. A lot average 12 hour days. They have a lot more millionaires and a lot more factories. To produce anything.

The US silicon valley is not just #1 in software. And that will change since smarter people in other countries will be able to compete with that long distance. In meantime we dumb down our schools in the name of equality.
China silicon valley is #1 in building all new tech and hardware. No way we can ever catch up to them.
Watch this below if you have time. worth it.
Will see how far behind we are in tech and everything else.

Compelling documentary!
But they fail to admit China steals billions of American technology and intellectual properties every year from us.
Found it funny two American business leaders feel California is more communist now than China —LOL

China is now working w/ the Taliban to mine minerals in Afghanistan.

China is partnering w/ the Taliban to build factories, and provide a shorter land route from China throughout the Middle East and a direct land route to a major port.
