Good luck blue cross.

> The 10x from 400 billion to 4 trillion in a decade didnt come from 2% inflation.

Money printing does not cause inflation equally especially if not distrubuted so.

I'd say dancing alone while everyone else watches can be a high status thing. Think Tom Cruise in tropic thunder, he was the only one dancing was he low status?

> We don't want affordable Chinese EVs.

If that was true it wouldn't be illegal to sell them.

I think the best interview question, and really the only one you need to determine technical ability is ask someone to describe a http request in as much detail as possible.

To write code (even with the benefit of AI) effectively you need a mental model of the systems you work with, reading the chatGPT response doesn't prove you have that.

The Chinese can impose their own consequences, I'm not opposed to it.

However, this is serious stuff, if accountability must be off the table we aren't ready as a civilization to mess with it. NIH did this under a "enhanced oversight" regime, the overseers need to be removed to start.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology and it's gain of function work that made coronaviruses more infectious was funded by the NIH.
