If a major conflict breaks out with China, America’s once-vaunted defense industrial base will be exposed as a comatose geriatric, not a sleeping giant.
▪️In an essay in Foreign Affairs last year, Michael J. Mazarr summarized a recent RAND Corporation study commissioned by the US Defense Department’s Office of Net Assessment on the age-old question, “What Makes a Power Great?” ▪️“The United States ultimately prevailed over the Soviet Union in the Cold War,” Mazarr argued, “because it was more energetic, innovative, productive, and legitimate.” But can the same be said of the United States by comparison with China today?

▪️ Here’s the RAND answer: The United States displays some of the characteristics of a once dominant power that has passed its competitive prime: by some important measures, it is complacent, highly bureaucratized, and seeking short-term gains and rents rather than long-term productive breakthroughs. It is socially and politically divided, cognizant of the need for reforms yet unwilling or unable to make them, and suffering a loss of faith in the shared national project that once animated it.
But, what of China? ▪️China clearly benefits from a potent national will and ambition, both domestically and internationally, and a unified national identity among much of the population. It has an active state that is pouring resources into human capital, research and development, high technology, and infrastructure. Posted by: Glowie at February 17, 2023 08:21 PM (A77eV) 82

So, what does this mean?
In his classic book The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, Paul Kennedy laid special emphasis on manufacturing as a source of power, for the simple reason that in time of war there is no substitute for having an economy that can mass-produce weapons. In the 20th century the United States was unrivaled in its industrial capacity. That has ceased to be true in the past 20 years. As recently as 2004, US manufacturing value-added was two-and-a-half times larger than China’s. But China overtook the US by this measure in 2010. In 2021 Chinese manufacturing value-added was nearly double that of the US. Posted by: Glowie at February 17, 2023 08:23 PM (A77eV) 85

Otherwise, it's just about diet (which was also relaxed) and continuing minimizing risk factors. I am at 5 weeks no nicotine.

This is not 1941. The idea that the United States was a “sleeping giant” on the eve of Pearl Harbor is a myth that understates America’s preparedness for war. The program of construction that gave the US mastery of the sea in World War II began with the Naval Expansion Act of 1938. In our time, by contrast, we have been shrinking our military-industrial base.
In 2013 the Environmental Protection Agency shut down the 121-year-old Doe Run lead smelting plant in Herculaneum, MO — the last primary lead smelting plant in the country. And that’s just lead. According to a 2021 report from the Department of Energy, “of the 35 mineral commodities identified as critical … the United States lacks domestic production of 14 and is more than 50% import-reliant for 31.” No doubt great from an ESG perspective. But what about the WWIII perspective? Posted by: Glowie at February 17, 2023 08:24 PM (A77eV) 87

Are they ever going to figure it out, or just keep praying to do a bit better than break even forever? Man, think of what they could do to Gilligan's Island? If that ain't low hanging fruit, I don't know what is.

I spent 20 years making bad homemade bread, and finally got the recipe right. Then I immediately got old and started putting weight on Then I finally found the perfect cornbread, and I really shouldn't eat it, in spite of the fact that corn is cheaper than beef and my wife hates beef.

I've been eating a bunch of sourdough bread and have found out you can put bacon and cheese on that just like you can any other bread. Then you can dip it in any soup you choose, including beer.

4 years ago, my wife had a neurologist tell her he wouldn't even look at her til she did an elimination diet, to
eliminate inflammatory (for her) foods. Once she did that, we had to change our eating habits. For the most part, we don't do "substitutions" cause that means you're still jonesing. But she does on occasion. She has an entire library of recipes now. Goat and ewe cheeses, (no dairy), zucchini lasagna... we make our own sausages and bacon (can't take preservatives nor additives). We both lost weight, eat like kings, and don't have a lot of pains nor transitory nerve crap, either. Posted by: MkY at February 17, 2023 09:16 PM (cPGH3) 211

The lead demand is "Not One More Penny for War in Ukraine."
