Mexico is hoofing a 50% tariff onto imports from countries without a free-trade agreement, giving the US a strong leg up out of the gate while competitors like China and Korea get left circling the track.Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihanFull Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4ajhwtU

Continuing our discussion on the US tech sector, let's break down how demographics and rising capital costs are stifling innovation. The tech boom relied upon a few things: a young, highly-skilled workforce concentrated in hubs like Silicon Valley and cheap and abundant capital. I don't know if you've noticed, but the US doesn't have the young workers or the capital environment to fund long-term tech development. Combine that with what we discussed yesterday, and you get a tech sector that is going to struggle in the years and decades to come.You're getting access to this podcast at the same time it's released on Patreon.

We're doing a two-part series on the tech sector. Today, we'll be looking at the disruption caused by deglobalization and Trump's policies.The gadgets and gizmos that fill our homes rely on highly complex supply chains, with most of that work happening in Asian countries. Any disruption to these interconnected networks could send devastating ripple effects down the line. US Tariffs on Asian imports discourage US participation in supply chains and incentivize companies to move production entirely outside of the US.As tech manufacturing floods out of the US and we continue down this path of deglobalization, the future of American tech production looks worse and worse. Tomorrow, we'll tack on the issues of demographics and rising capital costs.You're getting access to this podcast at the same time it's released on Patreon.
