Comment on US classifies South Korea as ‘sensitive country,’ limiting cooperation on advanced tech.

So the US wants to become dead last in technology by allowing monopolies that have no reason to innovate and blocking any cooperation with nations who spend money on innovation and tech.
Good luck in the future, it’s like Obama said about shortsightedness.
48.8% of us understand the damage that is being done and oppose it but are powerless to stop it because 49.8% are too dumb to know what is real and what is fake on the internet…
Plus our elected Democrats in Congress are cooperating with this bullshit for some reason.
Also, Korean EVs meet US safety standards and have a Tesla-killing build quality and price.

The entire world is going to have Fusion power and the US will still be burning coal.

That’s pretty much it. Trump—really, the folks who control him—is going to wall us off from the rest of the world, while the rest of the world continues moving forward. In power. In technology. In medicine.

The US is well behind in medicine already. Because of the for-profit health system hospitals aren’t encouraged to try procedures that aren’t covered by insurance companies, and insurance companies aren’t incentivized to add new procedures to their coverage because they can’t be bothered to review them.
It’s the same issue with off-label prescription drugs, It’s the drug isn’t explicitly designed to treat a condition, it won’t be prescribed even if it could help e.g. using antibiotics to treat cancer has proven to be surprisingly effective, but no hospital in the US will do it.

Trump is Enver Hoxha with bronzer and a bad haircut.

But the US has no need for fusion, all it needs is cheap coal through deregulation and prayers to god to put back the burnt coal! /s
