We have to have a dependable supply chain. We found out during Covid we couldn't obtain the goods we needed. It doesn't matter how cheap goods are if they can't be purchased. China is a predatory, mercantilist economy. That cares more about providing its citizens with jobs than profit. They can ship goods under cost and drive competitors out of business. When it comes to cars I'll bet our tariffs haven't been anything like for example European tariffs on US cars. It's not a fair game with China. They'll supply us with hardware for our grid, but won't use our hardware in their grid. China blocks our internet.

Find a problem you are capable of solving.
Make sure the problem has a paying audience and is worth your while.
Work on the solution to that problem.

(Put off learning all you need to know about investing, health, and science. You can spend the entire day without getting any work done. Once you're independently wealthy you can spend your time as you wish.)
I have a Notes folder containing 'subject' text files.
Notes/crypto.txt
Notes/docker.txt
Notes/equity.txt
...
anything and everything
one day I'll divide them into subfolders
Notes/geopolitics/zeihan.txt
Notes/programming/languages/rust.txt
if a text file isn't good enough, or there needs to be an image embedded, I use other file types
And a Documents folder containing 'subject' article files.
Documents/Programming/Languages/Rust
...
I do the exact same thing. Its been very effective. Looking at something I wrote myself refreshes my memory a lot more than any other kind of resource.
I personally use markdown files in the event I want to publish one of my notes. It also let's me inline images and see them if my editor supports previewing.
You aren't thinking about longevity. Diet, exercise, sleep, stress. And supplements. Start giving yourself a medical education by watching YouTube videos. Chances are you can really extend your health and lifespan.
