I know some love China, and love to gloss over the stealing, espionage, corporate theft, tech theft, buying off of American officials of many parties and stripes. And why wouldn't they ? America is superior to the world and other countries can only steal - not develop their own--- well they do ---only after naive greedy Americans teach China and others how to master a new industry.
So now the CEO of NVDA was diddling with what turned out to be a Chinese spy. (She's female---which is great. At least our scandals are getting more hetero now and the woman is a looker -- and what he does in that arena of life is his business.
BUT --- I've never been anywhere close to what he is but from age 24-45 I was sort of a 'big fish in a small pond' -- and to the average person - I was something. For the 1st 3 year of that time I was not married and in those days, there was no candy-associated with "HR Department" in my strata --I and another lady were the goddamn HR department for my businesses - lol and it worked fine--other than maybe 1 unemployment claim a year--never ever ever had ONE employee beef mind you I ran with 40-90 full time people --hardly the scope off a big or medium sized business.
Anyways- day one I had a rule: I will NOT be alone with a woman at work - no employee, no vendor, no bank chicks, nothing. I did have ONE woman who was my Comptrolelr/CFO who know all my finances -- I had little patience for journals. schedules, accounting entries---I wanted to generate revenue - period so ok, I had this one woman, in her 60s that I worked in close proximity with but ---the tule was if counseling a female employee, or hanging with a corporate-rep female, Mary would HAVE to be in the room--this way nobody could accuse me of anything and furthermore - hey, I was in my mid 20s, getting attention from skirts for the first time in my life-- only because they wanted me to hire them or spend money on their companies, etc---- so it was a way of policing myself.
So I just ----don't get it when these bigshots get into these messes. Ok, you wanna get your rocks off. Who doesnt. Find a prudent way to do it and do it --- christ you have the money, resoiusnrces, it's not hard. Now fast forward to my real beef:
IF THE WOMAN IS CHINESE, OR RUSSIAN, OR ANYWHERE IN PROXIMITY OF RUSSIA.....MY GOD, JUST ASSUME IT'S A SPY OR A HONEY POT!!!! And in case of the latter if it's not---you're in for lifetime of shit attitude and thievery :). Look up "Sterva" they literally teach classes on being one.
Funny part is I've long assumed such technology was in Chinese hands. So now it's really no big deal.
Hat tip to China. They knew they could bribe these Americans who will sell their mothers for a bump in their 401K account and stupid fucking stock prices. So in process they gave China anything from an auto industry to EV industry to Digital to now, AI. Christ even FAST FUCKING FOOD - -I think it's called "Mixey" or "Mixue" is gonna overtake some of our names. And we gave these loser countries a playbook.
It's the corporate Chieftains, the academics, and their sympathizers who will always sell out the country. The Europeans took over whole asian countries with such tactics. Heck in Bravehearrt the King says "you can get to Scotland...thru its nobles".
I'm glad I switched the flag waving shit some years ago.
America is nostalgia for me.
Thank heavens for vast energy supplies and remnants of a dynamic, and superior capitalistic system and even though that is going to crack...America is still the healthiest patient in the Emergency Room.
Tick Tock.....
Ask the Romans how it works out.
