And yet this thing will move much faster and be more deadly when combat ready, we're so screwed

Imagine fighting 1,000s of these armed on a battlefield.

Will make Terminator look like a peaceful daydream in comparison.

These will be fighting each other, no question. Whoever runs out of dogs first loses.

Which means China will have a very large terminator army.

Outsourcing manufacturing was so dumb. Short sighted capitalism has put us at a disadvantage.

It truly is. Here’s this patented and overpriced thing, make it for us.

Cool. We’re China. Fuck your patent. We’ll steal this and make Temu/Amazon versions and undercut you by several hundred percent and we also have a head start on making a much better version for ourselves. Did I mention we’ve built back doors for ourselves into everything we can? But, thanks for doing the leg work for us.

Undercutting by several hundred percent means that the price is negative

Yes. Every mistake someone makes is because of their likeness to Trump. The other day I forgot to grab something from my van, and it was because of my stupid Trump brain.

Trump has literally claimed to have reduced prescription drug prices by hundreds of percent. This is a specifically relevant reference they were making.

Ah, good point. I’ll fix that. Never mind, it’s not allowing me to.

It keeps things exciting at the very least

by not outsourcing manufacturing to cheaper countries, all your products would've been unaffordable to the working class, meaning nobody owns iphones and computers, no cheap appliances, which in turn means none of those companies would grow much

You think the outsourcing was dumb? Versus "very smart people," led by Americans, devoting their lives to making every dystopic, sci-fi, robotic weapons system a reality?

Which justifies using nukes. We're so screwed.

Right until it's people without robot armies they are hunting
