Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have this, maybe this added responsibility that I better make a good fucking chip, otherwise China's going to ruin us.

No, if Taiwan stops making them, China's going to attack it. China needs those chips right now. That's why they're not bombing the factories.

Yes. Yes. So if you start making it, that'll be like, you know, if like a, what do you call it? A bin man, a garbage truck person, you know, if they suck at their job, the whole country gets attacked. Oh yeah. That would be stressful. Oh, it'd be the worst. Imagine working in and out. If you got the order wrong, Mexico's coming. Yeah.

Does that make sense to you? Yeah, Malaysia makes quite a few things too, not as much as China for sure. I feel like to us, it's a job and it's a decent job. And without those manufacturing jobs, those people will have a shittier life. So I think we like that, those things, globalization. I think when people talk about globalization, they see it from the American perspective.

Yeah, you are losing jobs to the outside world. But on the flip side, we Asians are gaining some jobs that pay better than those jobs that existed prior, like working at a hawker stall, selling noodles all day. Manufacturing shoes probably pays them more. And I think this is a tough part, right? Sometimes the economy, I feel, is a zero sum game, right?

Making a shoe is either a job in America or a job in Asia. We only need so many shoes, right? But we do think it is good. It helps us elevate our quality of life. And hopefully, in a few generations' time, the Asians will have made more money. And then maybe we won't have to do those menial manufacturing jobs anymore.

But for now, it's the same thing, where there was a news article, I think it came out recently, last year maybe, where in New York, they were starting to use self-checkout lines. But then you had a FaceTime video calling someone from the Philippines, the persons being the checkout, the cashier for you from the Philippines.

Yeah, yeah. So the whole internet hated it. But then from my perspective, it's like the person in the Philippines is probably getting paid way more than any job that she would have gotten, the person that they would have gotten in the Philippines. And this is just a hard part of, it's not an easy problem to solve, right? Global inequality. And I think it just takes time maybe.
