Maybe the best memories are the friends the US has backstabbed along the way
This is late-stage capitalism bursting at the seams. Of course the USA should not have any grounds to bully another institution (state or corporate) into bending to its current political whims. And at the same time, a corporation should never have been given so much leverage—the ability to entirely bypass requirements—in the first place. I know there’s more nuance to it than that, but goddamn…
This is not solely tied to recent developments or even the current US administration.
To this day, I still don’t understand how Microsoft’s functional monopoly was simply ignored and they got off with a slap on the wrist.
I wonder what’s going to happen once NVIDIA reminds them that their best product literally depends on SK Hynix.
