Holy shit!
From this it looks like Russia will not only be the top military in the world but among the top 3, or someday top 2 economies measured not in GNP, but in strength and subsistence of their economy. IT looks like if there are a top 2, they will be Russia and China.
I joined AT&T Bell Labs in 1978. Still at that time it had the reputation of "The Best R&D Lab in the world." It is now totally gone. There was an unspoken subtitle : FOR A REGULATED MONOPOLY. It operated as an arm of the government.
When I joined Bell Labs there was a tradition of working 4 days per week on assigned projects and the fifth day to work on something of particular interest. Bell Labs was the source of the transistor, Unix operating system and many more innovations. The lab had a manufacturing component: the US telecom system. The manufacturing unit, Western Electric had over 140 years of excellence and now even the brand name is gone. The race to outsource manufacturing took a toll on our economy.
AT&T is now a marketing company. US is now a finance and marketing economy.
At this time, it is impossible for the US to have an industrial policy as described in this paper.
And these projects have follow through and extensions into other areas. What a wide range of scientific activity! Incredible!
I've been reading these sorts of meetings for many years now and am always invigorated. The interaction, listening and doing is always a pleasure and reinforces faith in humanity.

When Reagan said "Greed is Good!" few at the time said that would be debilitating. Read Ritter's short item about the future of nuclear arms control talks for a wowser, https://consortiumnews.com/2023/11/28/scott-ritter-the-end-of-us-nuclear-superiority/
Solid read Karlof1, thank you! I enjoyed that, keeping me entertained for over an hour!
Mr. Putin's televised meeting with Nikolai Gerasimenko, the AI expert from Sberbank, was most interesting. Thank you, take care, & blessings.
Thank you, Mr. Sanchez. Yes...made it to the end. ;)
The “very” bright bulbs. GodSpeed, Mother Russia❤️🇷🇺💙
Rather inspiring, Yes?
Very much so. Thank you. ❤️🐈⬛
Very interesting and diverse. Thank you.
You're welcome. I thought you'd find the climate and AI issue curious as it did me when I read it.
Yes, I did, and the sugar alternative too, as well as many other things that were discussed.
