>Because I'm pretty sure America needed plenty of foreign help to split the atom
The whole point of my comment was that such truly high-skilled immigrants were able to arrive and thrive during the term of the Johnson-Reed Act. The rest of your critique on that point is ill-founded and irrelevant.
>Almost everyone has something made by Sony or Panasonic, but no one has a Zenith TV anymore.
Yes, tariffs will be needed to reshore those industries.
>The "Green Revolution"... depended entirely on the cooperation of foreign governments, investment and labor. The US absolutely did not "feed the world with our Green Revolution," just as the US did not "win World War 2."
You'd do well to read a biography of Norman Borlaug. He did a lot more than repackage Haber-Bosch. American charity during the 1960s and 70s is the only reason tens if not hundreds of millions of Indians are alive today. Whether that's ultimately in America's best interest remains to be seen.
The sweeping socialist polemics and corny "y'all" was very funny, thanks for the laugh.
