Another option is making imported goods as expensive as locally manufactured goods. Which is what every country does to American goods, they make sure its more expensive than their local goods. To encourage local production and more importantly provide jobs to people locally

Business people if they can will use completely cheap foreign staff that includes me because your motives are to make the most profits

As seen during covid, its a national security risk to put all your manufacturing on China. Every day to day item that we use in America could not ship down due to supply chain issues. You are literally betting your entire economy on continued goodwill with China. You have become Chinas bitchh

If there is a war today and China suspends all importation to US what then happens
While the point you made seems valid. I believe Trump's aggressive approach is misguided and ultimately harms consumers. Americans way of life is different from other countries, the hurt is way worst compare to say Nigeria if we compare socioeconomic context of both. Instead, why not consider a quota tariff on imported goods? This would protect domestic production without leading to a broad price increase that resembles a trade war. It’s a more balanced way to support local industries while keeping options affordable for consumers.

My Opinion.

Surely this is intentional at this point. He has to be trying to sabotage National Security.

Brand and Tate and basilico are spiritual kin: grifters claiming persecution while monetising male resentment and preaching from their digital pulpits. Both found God (different brands, same marketing strategy), both claim to be silenced, and both are loudly defended by men desperate to believe it.

I don't know if brand did what he was accused of but when he brought tate as example to say the system is coming for him he made himself look bad and guilty.

I personally don't believe all this crap allegations against him. They are just trying to shut him up. If JK Rowling is a man, she'd be accused of rape as well.

As for preventing users from copying data ,that's a hard one. One can use encryption but if the AD database gets corrupt, you sweat bullets.
Always tell staff , everything can be monitored and that's enough for nearly every employee. Locking down USB ports is so 2000. One can still open a document, copy and paste it elsewhere. It's a very tall order to prevent determined employee from siphoning data
No I don't use raid. Not cost effective for me. I would have to have twice as many drives so I could do raid 1.

Right now I have 8 external data storage drives 8tb x 5,4tb x 3.so I would need double this and a really really large drive bay.

I did consider raid 0 once because it is supposed to double your file access speed, but that is what they call living dangerously.

Not sure how you recover from a disaster in such a situation

Actually it is very easy to block people from stealing data

Hard disk encryption and secure boot and block services like drop box

I have a microsoft account. I have set up the family in the same way Everyone in my family has their encryption keys automatically backed up to my account. So if I move a disk from one pc to another, all I need to do is log into my account to get the key.

I am currently doing same for our office. Setup a Microsoft company account so if I encrypt the drives I have access to the key.

On an enterprise level IT simply needs a policy or system for automatic backing up of the encryption keys

usb port blocking is either from os or from bios.
If it is from os, boot the pc using a live disk and you have the files. That is the goal of secure boot. Blocking this loophole with secure boot running you can't boot another os. Of course this means supervisor password that is backed up somewhere. Our it then had no real secure data policy beyond blocking usb at os level

Modern devices can block usb from bios. It is for IT to enforce.

Omofaye99:
While it true that Pearl Harbor was a wake-up call for the US, the situation with Iran today is different in several way.

The US of today is more active in diplomacy and intelligence-gathering to monitor threats and prevent nuclear proliferation. This is not 1940, there are more channels to address this issue. Waiting for marked enemies to grow powerful is risky, but so is escalating tensions with an uncertain outcome.
Talks have not cured the issue. By the time you know Yemen will start saying they have made nuclear weapons if Iran is successful. We know their ambitious motive. Even Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations around that region know what's at stake. That's why they are seeking protection from the US and Israel.

If Iran makes the bomb why won't the Saudis want one?

People who wake up with the chant of destroying the US, Israel, and conquering nations around should not be allowed to own a bomb like that.

America's hands-off approach will only allow chaos. We saw it when Biden was around. Iran triggered Hezbollah and Hamas.

Israel really handled all the threats around. What about their proxies? They asked them to stop attacking the US after 3 soldiers were killed. Since then the proxies have stopped attacking US bases.

They are always looking for what they can get away with. They have boxed themselves now. By showing what they could do and how they could spread ballistic missiles to terrorist actors, they cannot be trusted with a bomb like that. That program must shut down

It is the greed that you lionize that led to this in the first place. Most of these companies were already profitable, already making money, but once once company a starts off shoring and outsourcing company b has to follow suit or the board will ask the ceo why?

It is American greed and focus on quarterly earnings that led to this impasse. And that genie is not going back in the bottle. All the noise about China is performative. Is there any trump merchandise not made in China?

This guy had lost all appeals and finally claimed assylum. Judge only ordered he should not be sent to El Salvador because his life would be in danger
In other words, he was here legally.

basilico:
In the second ruling , SCOTUS by 5-4 ruling lifted the Restraining order of using the Invasion Act to deport The court also held that the president can use the Act , but the deportees would have a due process . But they are held in Texas, only a judge in Texas can listen to their pleadings. Not Boasberg in DC , court ruled basically he has no jurisdiction.
The justices did not endorse the use of the Enemy Invasion Act. They just said that it was an improper court to have brought the suit, so the lawyers have to start over. But, once it is filed in Texas, they will have to answer that question. The court said that Trump would have to give Venezuelans due process through habeas corpus, which removes a lot of the benefit from Trump's use of it.
It was a very cowardly ruling meant to help Trump.
1.) If someone gets taken without due process, 5 justices think that person should first find the proper federal court. While the Trump administration can move you around to prevent you from doing so. To file a habeas corpus you have to actually know the person is being held.
2.) The Justices could have still answered the question re: the Invasion Act. Seemingly the goal is to delay the ruling as it will now have to proceed in a conservative court that will undoubtedly set a hearing schedule to delay given Trump a loss in the Supreme Court.

You should stop writing on this. You don't have your facts or understanding right.

A backup us only good if it works Believe you me I have so many different backups, on a weekend I restore them to VMs to make sure they will work . That's also the sane with encryption. You never know.
I'm saying this from experience.

As for RAID, I always ensure the OS disks are mirrored and both bootable . Frequent testing. That's for servers . I have Linux samba servers that I store backups too in the office. Storage is cheap nowadays.

You made a good point. I also agree that zero tariffs on every product is unrealistic. While tariffs can play a role in addressing trade imbalances, relying on them as the sole solution is misguided. Like you stated many companies have moved manufacturing to countries like Vietnam and Canada, instead of bringing jobs back to the US. Why is that?

I think the focus should be on finding solutions that address the underlying issues prompting companies to manufacture abroad, Instead of resorting to blanket tariffs, which can harm American consumers and businesses.
One of the biggest factors is unions and democrat policies especially on minimum wages. Don't know whether it passed ,gig workers were also on democrat radar in terns of wages and benefits .⁰

China is actively subsidzing manufacturing to hurt the US as well.

Check out the profit margin of Apple or Nike products. They could have their product produced in the US, pay the wages and still make profit.
That's why all big brands migrated there.

When manufacturers started running to China, the govt of the day ignored it. Subsequent govt also ignored it.
Example of brand that is owned by America but has only office in America is iPhone. IPhone is made in China. Yet America take the glory. America made Chinese economy flourish while they are busy with wokeism.

The American economy did not take off when MBAs took over and sent manufacturing abroad. They get very good returns for their business acumen.
