Speaking as someone living in Asia who visits the US every year or so, you are falling more and more behind and I don’t see a way for you to catch up without a drastic societal reformation.

The EV market alone should scare the average citizen, but it seems like a non issue every time I bring it up.

I think the US economy has painted itself into a corner and this all in bet on AI is its last real play before the house of cards collapses.
