Outside of the business news circles a little noticed comment by Navdia's CEO was the implication that

losing China is a huge mistake because China will fill the void, and we will be left out of that void.

I think from healthcare to scientific advancements, we will be left behind because of the draconian policies of this administration, and "American Exceptionalism" in all endeavors will be a myth as trump and his thugs propel us into a new dark ages.

Everything is fake with Felon47. Except of course the racism, bigotry, misogyny, greed, sloth, mental decline. Those are all genuine.

It’s been very successful so far at purging, punishing and penalizing any academic or intellectual pursuits or achievements.

Aside from the obvious that they're ruled by a brutal tyrannical dictator, he seems to have his middle finger aimed at China, and I would presume this comes from the more hardcore insane conspiracy side of MAGA.

The majority of us lost interest, we stopped paying attention, we became disconnected, we became apathetic.
Even now, it appears the majority of us have yet to decide whether we will allow ourselves to be inconvenienced enough to fight like hell for our freedoms.

China will be the new 21st century superpower.

The US will take a back seat.

With Trump destroying the US, mission accomplished for China.

I've been in rescue for 40 years, and I can inequitably, undeniably GUARANTEE you that China and several other countries are miles and miles ahead of research and development in cat health and care.

Now, why does that matter to humans? Because a lot of the initial research into animal health is passed along and used for human health development.

We are being left out and left behind, and it is frightening.

Brain drain is already happening. Look at rural America where the kids left and moved to the city for an idea of what's going to happen to the whole country.

the Republicans are at a point where they don't need their Trumphumper voters ever again. Their Republican voters are a huge block of Rural America, and he is already kicking them aside a little at a time, and he is accelerating countless things specifically aimed at screwing Rural America the worst:
Rural hospitals and Rural medical care is being obliterated big time right now by Trump and Republican Politcians and is accelerating........Same with Social Security, Disability, Food assistance, Utility assistance, etc etc etc

Much of Rural America only has their Republican U.S. Senators and U.S. House members for support, and they too will soon out grow their usefulness............... Have you ever seen a Legislative Branch in a Dictatorship or Tyranny????????????

Same for the U.S. Supreme Court/Justices.......Have you ever seen a Judicial Branch of government in a Dictatorship/Tyranny????
