the US has the Fed and the SEC. somehow, they manage to run the world's largest economy without regulators micromanaging every business decision.

- $80.7B net loss in H1 2026

- High-altitude concrete spraying machines (above 3,000 m altitude), which might be about military construction in the Himalayas
