I think we should take a harder stance against spies and take all our tech experimentation off-line.

That would mean higher security standards and not taking the product into Chinese market

Offline isn't going to do anything if you are looking to sell your products in china

Well if the information is off-line, they can't hack it.

They require you to have a 50% ownership with a Chinese national company in order to sell

The information will be scrapped anyhow

That is why I think military contracts for technology should be taken off-line and placed in a secure place.

Less a chance of them being able too.

And it will be harder.

There were stories of most of the chipsets having Chinese spyware

I see it as a hard task to cut it out

Well if we actually developed our stuff in our own nation, then that wouldn't be a issue.

With us military's focus on contracts, it's usually whats cheaper

Reason I am glad Trump is working towards bringing back manifacturing jobs.

As for a way to give us jobs again and to offer extra layer of security for our technology.

Anything that is vital to our nation's security should be developed and built here in our nation.

Only thing regarding that issue that is important is minerals.

And even that should be held to a higher standard.

The chipsets or some parts themselves will likely be shipped from China anyhow

Then those parts should be screened and removed if found.

Replaced with American parts.

It's a bottom line problem

I doubt they would do it if it meant cheaper

It is okay for civilian usage, but military... who in their right mind would allow a foreign hostile nation develop our technology that is vital to our nation's security.

Oh right.... greedy bastards.

Knowingly allow probably not,

Cutting corners on military stuff used to be punishable.

Greed is common

It's apart of being human

Anyone willing to tell me what the hell is up with the Libertarian Party?

Do we have any advocates for them here?

@Dusty Morgan I doubt they will in the current climate

I have someone who talks about how great the Libertarian Party is, saying shit about how voting for the lesser of two evils sucks, and people should just vote Libertarian instead, as if they're absolutely perfect in every way.

like, that should just be assumed.

Then, he goes and posts something like this:

Meanwhile, Libertarian Party plank...

Sounds like an <:NPC:500042527231967262>

Sounds like they been infiltrated by Socialists.

The Constitutionalist libertarians are up in the Republican Party right now.

Ted Cruz said, the other day, that while his opponent would like to abolish ICE, he'd rather abolish the IRS.
