Scarlett Johansson is a top 100 AI influencer because she threatened legal action because OpenAI used a voice that sounded like hers... Gina Raimondo is more of a negative since she's looking to stifle AI competition but that's more important because if Chinese AI is a threat, where are all the Chinese names besides the tokenism they give? Maybe because they didn't do their homework to know hence makes this list worthless not providing any real information.

I am often confused by the exercises Army and Marines that center around fighting a ground war with China. Just where do they envision this ground war to take place? In Taiwan or in China, or both? If Taiwan, what if Taiwan refuses American military to come onshore full-force because they fear a clash of two big army forces will simply turn Taiwan into a smoldering wasteland, does that mean US will invade Taiwan anyways just to prevent a China take-over? And if China, does US really think invading China is a good idea (or even an viable idea?) I guess they could invade and take over islands in SCS. But that would that accomplish? The same exposure that allows them to invade and perhaps succeed also exposes them to the counter that will inevitable come. So what are these ground-war exercises really telling us?

You're overanaylizing it, their entire wargame was implicitly based on assuming they'll have access to Chinese exports, theres not enough strategic thought behind it for it to represent any long term plan. Closest it comes to actual plan is USMC's Force Design 2030, which is just island hopping in Pacific with missile trailers because they cant imagine an enemy with an airforce or drones.

If we're purely imagining a ground war between US and China, as the dominant shipbuilder and civilian cargo transporter on the planet, China is the only one with the logistic capacity to actually supply a near peer ground war across an ocean, so it'll be in either Australia or, if nukes dont come into play, CONUS

Or it’s because most M&A deals involving Japan go through without incident and are approved easily by CFIUS. And ultimately, the U.S. is by far, the most valuable market, and foreigners will indeed pay substantial risk premia to sell in the U.S.

Lol, it is only valuable in as much you can scam the US government into giving you freshly printed money so you can play with buying almost bankrupt companies to do some pump-n-dump schemes while stealing any real state they might have. Funny thing, the "pumping" part helps keep the whole Wall Street numbers inflated, but bubbles can only last so long

Eventually you'll run out of companies to bankrupt that are bing enough to support the scheme.

Also, good luck with your "most valuable market" if you keep threatening even your closest allies with sanctions if they don't bend their knee to your most stupid geopolitical decisions in 20 years.

it’s all very simple - the U.S. has by far, the highest living standards among non-micro states anywhere and the material basis for those living standards in unparalleled human capital, physical capital stock, and technological know-how are simply irreversible.

Well yeah, if China, a state with similar levels of technological and industrial hegemony as US and a slightly larger economy, was growing at 3%, you'd be the first one to clown on it.

Especially when US keeps that growth mainly from cannibalizing EU economy. EU is also China's enemy, so US eating them significantly weakens the faction that could potentially stand up to China later.

Although as others have also noticed based on your posting pattern and insights to life, you do not seem to be American. In light of that, I guess you can comfort yourself in that the totally hygienic and beautiful state you come from has higher GDP growth percentage than both US and China...

Through I doubt it will ever reach up to either of us in total GDP :D

Even if we assume US GDP wont get the - 800k BLS jobs revision treatment, US interest rate is 5.5% and all growth came from debt spending on non productive activities, borrowing at 5.5% and investing in something with 2.5% return is just an exponential race to bankruptcy, and their inability to pay from everything from NGAD to CCGx to NASA shows it

The problem US is gonna have with rate cuts.

Is who is then gonna buy up the staggering amount of US bonds that they will sell?

If fed does it, well, be prepared to get yearly reductions of 5% in US dollar exchange rates.

And the accompanying inflation that will cause lol.

(So yeah, stuck between two hard places, and the rate cuts is only a when, not if as well).

EU GDP increase is only 0.2%.

So @Index is not wrong saying it halted GDP growth in most of NATO, and EU makes up most of NATO

Wrong.

Sure it went up for 2 years but Still, the life expectancy rate still hasn’t recovered to pre-pandemic levels: In 2019, life expectancy was 78.8. So the US life expectancy is still lower than before.

The US has the LOWEST life expectancy among large wealthy countries while it far outspends it's peers on health care.

Same for infant mortality

So what you said is actually the opposite of facts.

US "unparalleled" tech know how has already reversed in many instances.
