A non-stabled high-performance team can beat every other model in the economy of the world.

I know that in my own life and work, and better I can point to the one industry which has revamped itself to use such teams almost exclusively -- Hollywood! The movies.

Goof and great films poured out of the wholly captured and owned stables of talent banks the Studios had up through the early 60's. Yet they paled in comparison to the market and quality of films out of the US once we went to a complete cobbler's model of throwing together independents and independent teams on high-turnaround projects. Amazing leaps in quality in all except script character and plot development, where by my view, the quality mix has been more-or-less constant.

BUT HEY! Don't be confusing the issue! That example is a side-issue -- the pertinant issue is wholesale looting of techonological capability from our shores and also ravenous and homosexual sex-lke (buggering) models of "trade", of imports without balanced tariffs.

Once the pool of Americans pursuing tech careers shrinks, you lose the critical mass required to produce real stars, and hence the R&D edge is lost to offshore talent.

TAriffs are to keep unions happy and are a luddite response.
