We’re a confused divided country and China has a brutally efficient system of exploitation the US needs.
The USA doesn't need the competition. Leave us alone please, for just once in our history. Our entire existence, the world has waged war against us.
Imaging black holes. Probes inside the Sun. Ever growing size of matter waves. Find peace please, or I build a horrible weapon of coarse resuscitation, a gravity application of pair production and coherent control that doesn't kill, but keeps people alive.
For the most recent part of it, it has rather been the inverse.
