China's willingness? What does that mean in the context of 'free trade' and the 'trader principle' as they apply to individual action?

Yep, technology advances.

Material production begets material production.

Why would coding remain an economic value? I think coders are going to become trans immigrant Haitians, sooner rather than later.

Which part ? Do ideals have parts separable ?

Lol, I would tell the Haitian to learn to code so he could pay someone for delivering his groceries, better yet I would have an AI code and make autonomous vehicles that deliver.

"If Haiti got its act together like China has, then it too could be an economic powerhouse." What makes manufacture in China such a powerhouse of economic growth?

Every available or newly available restaurant represents a less cheap alternative to eating, paying for grocery deliveries makes getting groceries more expensive, competition in the grocery bringing 'business' will work to lowering the price of delivery but it can never be zero, so always a net negative to an individual's capacity for capital accumulation. How is it that guy in Haiti gets $2/day, or manufacture in China is a better business model for domestic US businesses that require manufacture?

But the Haitian goods for $2/day labor costs will be cheaper for me, who is going to pay him $50 'here' , when the spot in Haiti he left is still producing cheaper goods?

There are a few things that make Musk different from James Taggart, two of the bat are fiction and nonfiction lol. Secondly or tangentially Musk's children's children would be a more congruent match. JT was flawed because Rand made him flawed in a universe where no change for that disposition was possible. If EM is flawed it is because he made himself flawed in a universe where he can change/remake his disposition.

If the wealth of a country is to be held in real estate and finance, other than holders of real estate and financiers, what kinds of emigrants would add to productivity that would be recognized in calculations ie GDP?

"Former barista here and yes, pass it on sucks. In a drive thru, every order automatically pops up on the register. Now imagine having to manually override that every single time to account for people paying for the car after them, while you're also on a clock that automatically reports the time from order to delivery to your district manager, and everyone is technically waiting longer for their order to be delivered because they have to pull forward for the next person to take the order that's already been cashed out for minutes. Mind you, being in the red for too long on the timer can get your whole team into trouble." Increased productivity thwarts benevolence. Techne is real bitch or she's a great help in smacking down all the 'fakers'. Cash is a kinder king

Better telescopes have the tendency to making the universe older and more vast, or maybe consciousness is evolving toward a recognition of a truer nature. And perhaps you are right in that you and the wider audience and my thoughts are no longer congruent enough to cross pollinate. Atman is Brahman Tat twam asi

Yeah, it’s probably just readers of Bill Kristol’s Bulwark, punching Nazis is grassroots.
