I always enjoy threads where US HNers casually explain in a derogatory way that they should not depend on anyone for anything remotely useful.

The cognitive dissonance between these threads and the ones where local law and taxes are an insult to their right to free trade is amazing.






It might surprise you to hear that I’m both American and European, and when in Europe I also encourage manufacturing. Being able to make things is a strategic advantage, period. Never did I say that we should not depend on anyone for anything. I simply believe that we should not depend on others for everything.

I’m also not sure what you found derogatory in my comment, and I don’t understand what you’re getting at about local laws and taxes and how that would be relevant here.
