It's sad, but this is one of the only avenues I can imagine that will bring real benefits and change for a lot of Americans.

Post-WWII, the ownership class had to offer a good deal compared to the Soviets, lest they risk communism coming for them, too. They had to provide working people opportunity and had to help build a thriving middle class in order to stave off sympathy and collaboration with the USSR.

Today, if owners don't want Americans to be bribed by the CCP into spying for them and handing over the IP they own, they're going to have to offer Americans another good deal in comparison. That's my optimistic take, but I can also see jackboot tactics being implemented instead of raising Americans' standards of living.

I don't think we can afford to raise standards of living across the US, in the sense of giving them more spending power. People will spend the money on lots of fossil fuel derived things.
