I still won't buy a US car or a US phone, no matter how hard [or hardly] people in the US work.
I don't give a 🦆 to compete with China! That's his bull shit.
I don’t give a fuck about competing with China
It’s a problem of motivation

I don’t have enough bad things to say about this person and this statement
- Another man added to the long ignore list
Or, counterpoint, maybe we should handle rich people's money more efficiently to stimulate economic growth instead of hampering it.
- Also, why should the average American care about competing with China in the first place?
996 was there for legitimate reasons, not stuffing some capitalist offshore bank account with unnecessary wealth, iirc.
American workers are about 6x more productive than Chinese workers based on my preliminary research. These guys are just fucking ghouls
- Any excuse to work people to the bone.
