Is there a way to drop a thin layer of particulate matter across an entire city? Could you do it with a bunch of fentanyl? And would the Chinese be able to intercept it or even detect it?

No. Even with Bronze Age relics, if something was made with an unknown tool, or unknown input, it becomes much, much harder to figure out how to make it. A good example is "how did they build the pyramids?" is still a matter of debate.

With a smartphone, to figure out how to make one, the Romans would have to:
  1. Invent an electron microscope to look at the CPU to figure out it's not just magic
  2. Discover quantum physics to invent an electron microscope
  3. Discover the electron and photon
  4. Discover chemistry and electricity so they can discover the electron
  5. Achieve a basic understanding of light so they can discover the photon
  6. Discover semiconductors
  7. Discover classical physics so they can discover quantum physics
  8. Invent calculus
  9. Invent statistics
  10. Invent algebra
  11. Invent the Cartesian plane
By the time they've done all that, centuries have passed, and so much has changed due to this technologies and discoveries that they're not "the ancient Romans" any more. Even if we gave the Romans something that didn't require a microscope, like a Model T, they still wouldn't figure out how to make one because they'd have to invent the blast furnace and the moving assembly line, none of which discoverable from the materials and parts.

Are you saying the Taiwanese are Romans?

Only Congress. Which means no tariffs will ever be passed ever on anyone because Congress will never allow it to happen. Meaning the rest of the world can tariff us until oblivion and we have no recourse against them. Permanent 200-1000% VATS from Europe. They can implement whatever they want to kill our manufacturing and Congress will do nothing.

If I were Trump, I'd dissolve or pack the Supreme Court and/or say "Try and enforce it".

Even the loopholes they gave him to go around, aren't efficient. This is a terrible ruling in terms of international business conduct and Roberts and Barrett unironically deserves to be Fedposted over it. (DESERVE, FBI. NOT A THREAT. Fuckers.) I really don't think these robed faggots understand what they just did. They gave the entire planet permission to create a trade genocide.

I think you all are really underestimating how devastating this is to the US as an entity. In fact, I don't think Trump himself understands how bad this really is.

Don't really even need to go back that far. Before late 1800s they'd have no idea about electricity or most of that. Any of it before Newton.

More government overreach in the name of stopping the new 2nd Amendment boogieman "ghost guns." California AB 2047 will require "blocking technology" that connects 3d printer with a government-approved database before every print. Once again, they are trying to restrict Americans from using what amounts to a hot glue gun attached to a couple motors in the name of "safety" it's a trojan horse and I hope every decrepit mother fucking moronic politician gets -FEDPOST- into an early cascket.

What's the most frustrating thing about this is that it's perfectly legal to make your own guns. 100% Completely legal. You can go out, buy a small forge, and cast all the metal parts you need for a gun, assemble it, and fire it, without violating a single law.

But if it's made out of plastic? Oh, well, let's make that illegal!

Fucking retards.
