US 'no longer technology king'

This isn't really news. Sixty percent of Engineer schools are filled with foreigners. Not enough students getting into science. American programmers going overseas while we fill with B1B visa types. Computer science graduates are spiraling downwards. tick-toc, tick-toc

Yep. This is a disposable economy.
It has to get worse before it will get better.

Who says it will get better? Economies shift. The US wont be king forever, especially not when its GDP is being spent on building the Chinese economy. Capitalism works for the economy but it doesn't have any loyalties to a nation.

Or you could say that Capitalism helps some but not the entire nation. A few get rich by exploiting the Chinese labor force at the expense of the American labor force. As our trade deficit goes BONK down the Toilet and China builds up it's navy by adding Aircraft Carrier and Nuclear Submarines to it's forces

It's all about corporations, power, and money. It's not about the nation anymore.
