Can Ant step up?

Quit cursing on TV, quit crashing out on social media.

You are supposed to be the next face of the league, act like it.

People comparing him to his father, stupid as shit, Jordan was the best PR NBA player we have ever seen. That is why he became so big in the 90s, not just because he is the GOAT, but because he knew what to say in interviews and how to conduct himself in front of the camera.

ANT, stop with the coon shit. Start listening to recordings of your father, and act like a professional. Also, quit being a b-word, quit acting in movies, start focusing on basketball. You haven't won shit. Just because you had a few good seasons doezn't mean you can start taking it easy. Michael never took it easy. And he wasn't starring in movies in the off season, only movie he was in was during his retirement. And he played the main character, not some side character in an Adam Sandler flick. Fricking goofy.

The USA is losing because it is a monopoly. Any competition is death to a monopoly.

We can see this in the fact that all the money in the US is flowing upward instead of through the economy. Resources are being snatched to the top at rates faster than they are being generated every year. The US being a monopoly is a problem because a monopoly does not set the prices based on what the ideal supply and demand of a product is, but instead based on what's the maximum value that can be extracted from the consumer because he has nowhere else to go as a second option.

This is why we can see the Chinese so easily manage to provide products that compete with American products at such cheap prices, because the gap between the actual price set by American monopolies and the actual price at which the product could have been sold is so huge that you could have another country sell the same product at half to one tenth the price and still make a profit high enough to keep investing in the industry.

Another area where the US is failing is in the housing industry. When you take a house and resell it for 2-10x the price within a year or two you aren't actually creating anything that is flowing through the economy or improving the economy. You are just artificially increasing scarcity of an already limited product that does not result in any net positive for the economy. We have already seen examples of this play out historically, such as when land in Japan had reached a price point as high as entire cities or states in the US.

The US is losing now because even their exclusivity in the cutting edge market is being taken over by the Chinese and other specialized economies. The iphone lost to the android phone. Samsung lost to Chinese phones. The Tesla lost to Chinese electric vehicles. US robots lost to Japanese robots and South Korean automation. On all fronts there is some country out there that is now capable of producing the product that the US is trying to make, but at better prices.

The price inflation can especially be seen in the US tech market, as the newest generation of technologies such as robot dogs or humanoid robots are being sold at prices that the average middle class individual in the US wouldn't be able to afford for years to come. Those are prices that are only possible when a company has a complete monopoly on the market.

As of now the only thing that the US is leading in is spaceships and AI. Of these two only AI is truly relevant as spaceships would take decades to create something truly marketable that the economy can grow off of. AI on the other hand is revolutionizing global industries, however, China is just 2 years behind the US at most when it comes to AI. So it is not like the US can completely monopolize the AI industry like they did industries in the past.

The US has failed to create a successful additional layer to their complex economy, resulting in their economy stalling and American wealth aggregating at the top. The quality of life of the average American isn't improving anymore, as he is stuck in the same house with the same prices, and the only thing that changes is that his toothbrush gets an upgrade every 5 years. On the other hand the billionaire classes are hoarding far more wealth than any of them could spend, with the majority of top US companies being overinflated, which is visible in the fact that these companies today are only growing during times of global crisis, when they seem like the safest investment, and when these companies can buy up even more resources cheap from all the bankruptcies taking place around them. Which again doesn't actually add anything to the economy.

From 2023-2024 US GDP grew from 27.36 trillion USD to just under 29 trillion USD. Meanwhile in the same year, US billionaire wealth grew by 2 Trillion USD. This is very clearly not a sustainable system, where more wealth is accumulating at the top than is being generated through the entire economy in a year. The west has pretty much lost the plot, and the US economy has become completely captured by a few US companies that have completely monopolized the system. To the point where wage growth may not even be possible anymore without the President passing in into law.

All of these events are markers of an inefficient system that is collapsing in on itself due to the accumulated rot within it. For an economy to succeed there is a certain amount of money that needs to flow through it. For an economy to succeed there needs to be a certain number of businesses to keep alive healthy competition. On both fronts the US is failing today.

Today, every single major corporation in the US is too big to fail. None of them can be permitted to go down even when their products are getting worse or they have lost the ability to compete in the global market. Apple itself is overpriced in terms of how much of the global market it has captured and how much of the market is captured by other global companies with far lower net worth. If the only way a US company can compete with another global company in the same market is when they have 10x the resources, then the US company is clearly inefficient in the extreme.

Today, Samsung holds nearly as much of the global mobile market share as Apple, while having 7.1% of the market cap that Apple does. Apple is nearly 14x the net worth of Samsung yet they are competing on almost equal footing. If this is not inefficiency in a system then what is?

Today, Tesla and BYD electric vehicle sales in the market are at nearly equal footing, while BYD is 7.7% the market capitalization of Tesla. Tesla is worth 13x more today while having the same share of the global market sales as BYD. Again inefficiencies become apparent. On the global market, the US companies can only win by being monopolies based on the current prices that they are selling their products at and the current valuation of these companies. The moment any other major country reaches near parity in technological capabilities, it becomes well positioned to take down the US company.

This is why China is such a threat to the US economy. For the Chinese market is able to supply products at prices similar to Samsung, but with the mass scale advantage of a billion+ people economy. The Chinese have already surpassed the US in PPP GDP terms, being 10 trillion USD higher than the US there. This places China in a position to win over the European Market and any other market in the world. Limiting US sales to the US market. Which is to the disadvantage of American companies, as the US market alone is not big enough to grow these companies and sustain them indefinitely.

Conclusion:

The US is slowed down by the amount of monopolization of its industries that has taken place and the unwillingness of American oligarchs to let money flow through the economy, along with creating the equivalent of the broken window fallacy, by overcharging for products far above their cost of production would necessitate. China on the other hand has for all intents and purposes already surpassed the US and it is simply the motions of time that are having it appear to still be catching up.

The US can keep bringing in more immigrants to keep itself afloat, but the overall US IQ is going to keep dropping decade by decade as the US birth rates are below replacement, and the quality of immigrants keeps dropping decade on decade until the present year, where the average immigrant moving to the US is only 8 IQ points smarter than the average American and 5 IQ points smarter than the global average.
