This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Not impossible, just expensive.

Easier to buy the products China already makes than to insource industry and control your own (marginally inferior) production chain.

The US is demolishing the tools to compete with China, entirely because the current leadership has an ideological aversion to "Woke" modern technologies. There's no reason the BRICS states would need to follow this path
