We make by far best weapons in the world. We are #1 in food production. We rule arts, both popular and elite. In software, still #1. We drill the most oil found on the planet. Universities, unmatched. Financial services, pretty much own the whole space. Consulting, both IT and management, we own top5 firms. Pharma - still #1. Toys, we own this space. Commercial and residential construction, we lead in every area. Industrial machinery - that too. The only reason we can fing manage to rule all industries is because we send all that shitty low margin work offshore. Yet, you are fed if you live here and want to do all that stuff that we sent overseas.
Americans manufacture platforms to enslave the world. Like Uber. Hard to throw an app out the window. The parasite has spread to Asia. The predatory capitalism will not be stopped. Digital Shackles for all! Work make Free. Drive Taxi after college make Free!
