"Does autocorrect cry when I don't use its corrections?"

It isn't brains.

Why not? He's been making up his competency this whole time.

“No thanks, I’m not hungry”

It's less well known for how the pigs will bite the fuck out of you if you aren't careful.

Also, floating pig poo.

It is a picture.

Factory Floor is in China.

What I really want to know is, how sparkly was the jacket?

“Don’t Tread on Mesothelioma”

Ikea is a meatball company that also sells furniture

They were trying to sell Titanic

There were multiple TVs throughout the store hanging from the ceiling.

In the 1900s I worked at a physical media store. Someone complained about the Titanic playing overhead having boobies visible in it, and I was tasked with using a VHS splicer to remove the boobies.

Thank you. For the rest of time I will be referring to squash as squish.

I feel like the details are important. What a country considered necessary for national security is a moving target that changes with technology.

Just as an example, 1930’s U.S. didn’t have any need for national security regarding the transistor or integrated circuit fab materials and manufacturing. That certainly is on the list now. While the U.S. has resources domestically and manufacturing facilities for this, the resources are finite.

The U.S. still has the Guano Islands Act available to “enforce” in the case that a suitable island supply was found AND desired. This was considered such a point of national security that the government legalized imperialism for bird shit.

If a specific resource becomes nationalized in the way you are suggesting, it seems to me that similar acts for rare earth metals might appear and still lead to imperialism.

I asked for specifics because I am unaware of any country that can satisfy all of its security and/or survival needs from only domestic sources. If the necessary resource is not found in enough abundance domestically, what choice is left under your proposal, other than to nationalize another country’s resources through imperialism?

What are the industries you're concerned about? I'm unclear on how a country would actually accomplish your goals without becoming imperialist. No country has every resource it needs in the abundance it needs.

I think you missed where we’re in agreement about it being more profitable outside of the country. I was only suggesting that a better way to combat that would be incentives that are designed to maintain a status where the process of manufacturing remains profitable within the U.S.
