The schmoozers/lobbyists aren’t working currently in America we need problem solvers and clear thinking.

Absolutely. the first time I found out the Chinese have quite a few engineers involved in government. I said that explains all the infrastructure being built. Mind you no human endeavors are perfect. But there was a time in the United States not too long ago where there was more of a can do attitude, I don’t understand why high-speed rail is not a thing.
I also don’t understand why the Pan American Highway or rail from Nome, Alaska to the tip of South America never got built. Nor can I understand why Oak Ridge, Tennessee Thorium Research Center and further development was left to rot. The Chinese are very close to throwing element 90 in our face.

In my lifetime, it has been a skill of procrastination. and milking the public…

China has more engineers involved in their government. Who tend to be more clear- thinking let’s solve the problem at hand. Which explains why they have so many infrastructure projects going on across their country.
It also partially explains why they pursue are open to multiple solutions to a problem. And it certainly explains why they looked at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and that thorium research and built two thorium reactors and will probably build many more because guess what?
They figured out how to make it work and apparently solved that alloy molten salt problem, it took about 10-15 years but they are on schedule. to deploy many more reactors after 2029.
They also switched or are are in the process of switching from lithium batteries to sodium ion batteries which is something else they didn’t have to do, they could hung on to lithium through 2040 milking, but instead they are moving on, which is also something that can happen when you have a bunch of engineers involved in the decision-making as opposed to those finance/MBA people who have a tendency to want to milk people for as long as possible.

The usual grifters have had their chance in most Western governments. Lawyers, landlords, the gentry, etc… I am skeptical but the present bunch that is usually very well represented in most western/eastern governments have had plenty of time and opportunity and look where we are at now.

There’s a chance of failure in any human endeavor. but I am sick of lawyers, bankers, landlords, lobbyists and various other grifters hanging on currently in most western governments no one can say that they haven’t had their chance. There needs to be a wider variety of professions involved at/in the legislative branch.

Maybe it might lead to Serbia turning it around. The fewer lawyers, lobbyists, professional politicians, landlords, real estate people and bankers, who have had their chance around the world running various governments, to no avail in many cases. A wider variety of professions in the legislative body is needed and it can’t hurt anymore than what has gone on in the last 80 years.
I understand China has a large number of engineers. Involved in their government in comparison to the United States…

The great percentage of it is free to gather information to service their ad empire the public isn’t paying for it directly.

Google, Meta and Microsoft’s track record. Is not that good beyond their core in fact, they’re horrible when the playing field is level, Nadella right now seems to be the most vulnerable. It’s copilot or bust..

They didn’t. They bought out another company. Did Meta create WhatsApp? and Snapchat? Everything else that Meta tried to stick their foot in has failed, but Muse seems to be promising. Both are very profitable ad companies. With a few me-too hardware products. Ads bring home the bacon.

Virtually nothing. Their processor is at least seven years behind the times. It’s not profitable. It’s just a Me-too loss leader to service the ad machine. 3D models and data-centers are built on top of that.

All Google loss leaders to service the ad company, Microsoft is also running into the same problem. Xbox, Blizzard games and Copilot are not profitable and to top it off. Between the two of them, they have spent upwards of $330 billion dollars in 2026 on AI models and AI CapEx. Microsoft laying off 60,000-70,000 people didn’t come out of thin air.
