Mastering having a serious yet simultaneously playful demeanor while also being expertly proficient at everything you do will take you extremely far as young man
Reject stoicism. Reject Buddhism. Even the room lizard is "tranquil." Get ATTACHED. Everything great is downstream of (strong) desires. Latin root for desire is "de sidere," which translates to "from the stars." An intense desire is a gift from the Gods above. A gift of direction
This has been going around, let me explain as a manufacturing guy what you are seeing:
Economic 5th Generation Warfare
That is 100% what this is. The CCP subsidizes every aspect of these operations with the express intent of destroying America’s prototype and production infrastructure. If you are a US startup- why would you boot up a model shop or use your local machine shop when you can just send all your IP to China and get parts back in a week for 1/10th the cost?
If the US Government would:
- Let me buy CNC equipment for 1/4th the price
- Give me a building
- Sell me raw material for 25% the global commodity price
- Subsidize my workforce
- Offer zero repercussions for pirating the most advanced Western CAD/CAM/FAE tools
- Have zero environment, safety, employment regulations
- Offer me a postal service that did FedEx international shipping for 5% the FedEx cost
Give me all of that and you bet your ass I can build you tiny bullshit turbines for $0.75. Sounds like a nice hour long programming/setup project!
Do not be fooled by any of this- this is not Chinese engineers (who are *very* good!) competing against us- this is the Chinese government looking to put a significant percentage of America’s manufacturing base into the ground.
