@lefthanddraft@Noahpinion Yes, the counterfactual - congress should write more ambitious laws - makes it inevitable that each administration will interpret regulations differently, often dramatically so. We see this today. Uncertainty is one of the biggest inhibitors of investment.
@Noahpinion I’d encourage you to read Lighthizer’s “No Trade is Free”. It lays out what I would have to believe is T-47’s approach to trade broadly and China trade specifically. Would strongly suggest that Trump would not cancel chip constraints - at least without a huge give from China.
@BG2Pod@altcap@bgurley China industry playbook 101:
1. close market to western companies or force jv tech transfer
2. Use huge domestic market + gov subsidies to build global scale and low cost
3. Unleash on world and kill competition
4. Repeat… steel, solar, batteries…
@BG2Pod@altcap@bgurley Great podcast- you guys are +++ tech, but China? big miss. in theory you are right - economics 101. but free trade doesn't work if your partners aren't playing by the rules. class prisoners dilemma - China has defected for 2 decades... time for US to return the favor.
@JustinRose99 heads up, your hotel stay in Hawaii got connected to my account lol. Dm if you need details - I won’t cancel because I assume you need it but obviously I’m not living it up in Hawaii tomorrow so would prefer not to get charged. Good luck on the course.
@profgalloway Love your posts… but c’mon Scott. If Atlas is the manifesto of “quitters” then quitting is the founding motto of the United States. Leaving a dysfunctional government to start something new, and better, from scratch? Sounds familiar…
@CillizzaCNN hey chris, your characterization of the behavior of "divorced dads" is really pretty offensive. i'm divorced - and i do everything i can to raise my daughter in the best way i know how. not cool.
