"We can't work on problem because something unrelated is worse and broken", then? We can only talk about that when discussing any problem?
No, in this case it's the same problem.
We're talking about banning DJI because the Chinese government subsidizes manufacturing useful things, whereas the US' approach to corporate policy is to ban anything that prevents a billionaire from getting richer, and now the US is mad that China mysteriously got a better drone industry.
Either the US should reform itself until it prioritizes building useful shit cheaply instead of enriching finance industry assholes or it should shut. the. fuck. up.
I'm viewing it more as "We have problem, and other related problem. We're only going to do surface level solutions to be able to say at least we tried when elections come up".
"We have a hole in the side of the ship, but I, your elected leader, have liberally sprayed a can of flex seal on the hole."
