global influence is useless
"become susceptible to attacks". that's what i said. it's a cost to the economy but may have a security payoff.
i think you are mixing things, the trump-EU deal, diplomatic relations, global influence etc, are a separate thing from production and businesses that actually make the things that people consume, which is what i am referring to when i say "the economy"
i am talking about the US as an example, not to criticize the US in particular. of course european countries are worse kek our governments are ultra low IQ
>Not always. Every country's infrastructure is reliant on unemployed positions. Just because one guy has a specific set of talents that make him great at his job doesn't mean that the rest of the country possesses that same level of aptitude. The economy creates jobs. Before AI for example, a "professional prompter" or "machine learning engineer" could've never been a career.
what that means is that capital makes labor more efficient, "making jobs" is still not a thing

>What computer did you type this on? A Macbook? A Windows PC? A phone? Those are both American products. They were likely manufactured in a factory somewhere in China or India, but the engineers and the company who made it are American or based in America. You can only type these posts on the internet because your economy is directly tied to ours.
yes and in order for those economies to be tied to each other, all that's needed is for me to, usually indirectly, produce something those americans want in return, and for governments to not fuck it up with tariffs, embargos etc. i dont need some politician to get along well with the US president, jsut to be able to trade.
btw the trade deficit is a meme. it was never an actual problem. and the cheap and fragile goods are just what people are demanding.
