Why didn't we do that for the state of Ohio?
Why didn't we do that in the state of Florida?
What was it about America that Apple didn't want to invest in our own manufacturing capabilities 15 years ago so that they can make 500,000 iPhones in a day?
And so that, I think, is the thing that's going to be hard to overcome.
Now, it's happening on the defense side because you have to manufacture in the U.S., and there is this, you know, manufacture where you are.
But I think it's the thing that keeps me up at night is the production gap.
It's pretty prevalent.
From what I've heard from people I know inside the DOD and various agencies, there are more spies in Washington, D.C.
than any other city in America, and number two is Silicon Valley.
Man.
Of course, it's mostly Chinese spies.
There's been a lot of stories recently.
There's things that happen where it's clear espionage.
Clearly, there's spies that are in big companies stealing.
The last 30 years of Silicon Valley, how has China caught up so quickly?
Of course, a lot of these people are stealing the secrets out of the companies and stealing the intellectual property and taking it back.
That's a known story.
I think the areas that are even more shocking are how the universities play into this, how there was a story actually in the Stanford Review, which is a student paper at Stanford that was saying there are known agents on basically spies in Stanford campus that are either professors or working with professors where they are stealing AI secrets from Stanford.
And that's happening across, I think, all of our great university systems.
Anyone that has serious knowledge, like the Chinese have been very good at infiltrating those systems.
