<p>> And the US is at a high level of strength, not weakness. Its large corporations hold sway over the globe in a manner the likes of which has never been seen before in modern history. Its military has force projection to nearly every point on the globe, with hundreds of global military bases. Its national wealth is at an all-time high. Its stock markets are at all-time highs. Its median income is at an all-time high. Its median dispoable income is at an all-time high. Its housing wealth is at an all-time high<p>This is in part because other countries allow American countries to come in and take over markets.</p>

<p>>Things like TV that took entertainment from a group activity to a single person event.<p>TV was the visual replacement of radios, and both used to bring families together for tv events… I remember lots of instances of that as a child.<p>It also brought people together at work. Everyone used to watch nearly the same things, and even up to 15 years ago, there’d at least be groups you could find in your office who was watching the same things you did, and could engage in water cooler talk.<p>Now theres so many shows on streaming networks, and you can watch whenever, so its all fractured.</p>

<p>> The only complete package integrator that manages to make a relationship work with Nvidia is Nintendo.<p>And thats probably because Nintendo isn’t adding any pressure to neither TSMC nor Nvidia capacity wise; iirc Nintendo uses something like Maxwell or Pascal on really mature processes for Switch chips/socs.</p>
