I can see how our wires got crossed.
I interpreted your original comment as questioning whether or not this was a threat to the specific tech or foundation at large, and not just isolated to the US region.
So, I guess the argument is moot -- seems like my mistake. It's certainly up in the air in the US at this point. I do find the progression of events interesting, regardless. In spite of what I said, the US does have a social impact with decisions like this -- just maybe not so much right now as in recent years[0].
I get argumentative because I see a lot of promise. I like technical discussion about it vs. regular degradation, so I usually have something to say.
