no excuse to off-topic it
I am 75 years old ....I've seen an America that said a foreign individual or business could NOT own an American asset
and interest rates were controlled
Who profits from not following the good sense of the prior generation? Ask yourself that question...think about what happened to the common man due to these ideals not being followed.
A few years ago Boeing wanted to hire Chinese engineers because they worked cheaper than American
If we ever went to war with China do you really think that was a good idea to hire foreign engineers?

1. I've beenworried about that for a very long time

Not necessarily Boeing, but everything and anything.

Think about it, if The NSA is planting spyware into software and hardware that passes through the US (that was big breaking news several months ago- wasn't it) What types of malware or secret functions might the Chinese (or any other "outsource buddy" of the US) embed into all types of technology and machinery destined for the US Market.

I think that's definitely something to be concerned about.

3. kind of ironic that foreign engineers were sorta helpful in WW2 then...

Bethe, Bloch, Segre spring to mind. Von Braun, admittedly post-war, didn't exactly contribute peanuts either.

4. If Germany won the war do you think it would be as positive an outcome?

5. Not ironic; it was in THEIR interests AT THE TIME.

Nations (and people) don't have 'friends,' they have 'interests.'
