Isn't it myopic if we just sit here and say, well, we are going to shut down our plants while China continues to build more and more and more?

I would say that in the past we used to say, hey, we are competing for the same resources to recruit against the Marine Corps, or the Air Force, or the Army. Now, I tell people we are competing with Amazon, Google, Meta, and others.
