Tuesday, December 9, 2025. 10:05 AM just heard on NPR news that the US government has just approved sales of advanced NVIDIA chips to China, and that the US government will share in the profits from the sale. So, which is it? Is the US government trying to prevent US manufacturers, providing advanced tech technology to China for national security reasons, or, trying to profit from the sales of such technology? So, the US government now has a conflict of interest with regard to its own interests. How can citizens know when the government is acting in the actual national security interest or in the profit interest of Nvidia, or any other partially US government owned company? Not to be out done, or forgotten, the decision makers who approve national security questionable sales must without question have no conflict of interest. How can such be determined for individuals directly or indirectly invested in such companies or their intermediaries? This is why government should not be invested in, nor those in government decision-making positions invested in companies of direct government interest or concern. Such inevitabilities are why this was and should still be another undefinable principle of U.S. government, and another that Trump has dismantled, and profits from doing so while the rank-and-file of US citizens economic condition declines
