Why didn't Biden release the Epstein files?

Make of that what you will.
Wasn't "out to get" Trump because if we was out to get Trump (or anybody important out to get Trump) he wouldn't have gotten away with Jan 6.
Trump is in trouble because he promised a lot and didn't deliver and if he does deliver, his name is in those files.

The hallmark of a positive sum framework is that it's more general or accurate than the author intended. (Not original I don't recall the source)

In the case of Trump, it helps Japan to "turn far-right", which is also evil at face value. Silver lining not yet found, not by this commenter at least
(Ps: Kipling & "good intentions" rhyme in my head. Need to take a page from you and sleep on all this before continuing)

In the big picture though it really should be the world vs the New China and not the US vs the world. When Japan was beating us in cars in the 1980s we got them to build cars here. We should be getting China to build state-of-the-art factories here: the biggest advantage they have is that they build "lights out" factories that need hardly any human labor -- like a mushroom factory in Shanghai where they stack them up hundreds of feet high and only handle them with forklifts. Thankfully they are building one of those in Texas:

Coda (1979 Gordon Bell of House Intel):
In the U.S., in contrast, the role of the computer and robot is still debated, while our disgruntled work force grows impatient carrying out meaningless work on throw-away items. We must return to valuing the understanding of our technology, so that we stop being the slaves of Japanese enterprise.

In 1979, Deng Xiaoping might have already been thinking about rare earths. (1992 voiced, check when they started building rail to Inner Mongolia/Tibet vs Yunnan eg )
Sorry for going nth-order on this..
It's interesting that China-US industrial relations are still viewed with a Japanese lens. Beech (aka shimeji) mushrooms was more of a Japanese thing than Golden Oyster I think??
The downside is that Toyota-in-Detroit was probably going to do as much for rank-and-file in all countries as FINC-in-Texas..
Capital flows... (To be harped on after I review more data)
The only drawback of their Beech mushrooms is that you have to cook them before you eat them, you can't slice them up and put them in a salad raw the way you can with those white buttons.
They're great with red meat. I think most Texans would like them sauteed next to a steak or in a burger
That's what the best of American patriotism looks like... And Earth patriotism :)
Even so, I'd like to see people other than founders get something from this kinda tech system..
Are you suggesting everyone become founders? That's a decent idea, but lots of schlep .. in revamping institutions

There is a lot of triangle trade between assholes, capitalists & labor.. (though startups finc & smaller may not be such s/assholes/founders/ s/labor/talent/)
you may not return to this thread.. ntheless I had a frameshifting realization: Meiji 1870-1880 was pretty fully run by gen Z ( with a sprinkling of older guys) ... Including the Emperor!! Hot on the heels of Napoleonic France, I guess. There's a novel that got me on this

The whole point of Trump was to just steamroll over this sort of thing and ignore the criticism. To see him cowering from it is incredibly disappointing.
Sorry, you've misunderstood: the whole point of Trump is to benefit Trump. Anyone else who benefits and any other positive outcomes are purely coincidental.
Not saying that’s ok, but the basic incentives seem apparent.
