@SteveRattner@Morning_Joe Then DC better get on board with helping wafer fabs reestablish a solid presence in the US, clear regulatory hurdles and make tax allowances.
Those fabs are very expensive, astronomically so, and very difficult to keep operating if they can't scale.
One of the most interesting subjects in the world is the human male, the man.
We expect more out of men than anyone else, and our society denigrates them--distilling them into mere labels rather than capturing who they really are.
A man is expected to be gentle, tender, and kind to his wife and children.
He is expected to defend their lives with violence if necessary.
He is expected to kill if in the military.
He is the primary source of food production for the nations.
He's expected to do the "dirty work" like plumbing and digging ditches, but he only gets demeaned for being a blue-collar worker.
In our society, men are emasculated by our society, mocked as fools, scorned as fathers and workers.
Complex societies only develop and sustain themselves with the leadership and sacrifices of men.
The destruction of "patriarchy" was the destruction of the backbone of civilization. The goal of the Malthusians is within reach.
Unless men stand against them and reclaim their birthright, civilization will cease. There will never be a utopia--for anyone.
Only chaos and destruction.
Sometimes the person you’re arguing with online is a paid agent whose job is to set the frame, not win an argument. The frame matters more because claims are disposable. A frame shapes how you understand the issue and how you talk about it.
A frame tells you what the argument is about before you ever start arguing. It decides which questions get debated, which assumptions pass without scrutiny, and what never gets discussed. So you can “demolish” someone with facts and still lose if you accept their frame.
That’s why states and powerful interests pay to seed frames. If they can get you arguing inside theirs, they don’t need to win. They need enough people to carry the frame for free and keep everyone arguing inside it. Once that happens, the propaganda no longer needs the propagandist.
Look, the debate is often just bait. Setting the frame is the real goal for propagandists.
