Op never said anything about 'lols'. I'm cautious but this is one area where I think the administration might be doing something correctly (but I don't know).

We lost a lot of manufacturing and it should have been OK because we could just move up the value chain to tech. Between the great firewall, restrictive cloud rules, partnership requirements, and IP transfers that hasn't worked out.

I don't know if the policies are best but I agree with the statement that as far as all the administrations policy proposals, this is one example of where I'm willing to take a wait-and-see approach.

Why are you assuming they're arguing in bad faith when nothing they've said implies that? I'm interested in a solid answer to his question as well.

Everyone except you responded with something well-reasoned and interesting. Does that change your mind about your ill-considered and rude response to me here?
