Why don’t you look into solar panels for a great example. Who’s making and selling them? Hm? Hint: it’s mostly not the US.

So somewhere else is doing the dirty, laborious part and we're getting the benefit?

The other person said "and not benefit from it". That's what I responding to. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that kind of outsourcing to places with exploitative treatment and lax environmental regulations is a good thing in general.

if you think life in the US is “futuristic” compared to Germany and Japan

I didn't say anything remotely like that.

Of course you did. It’s right there. You balked at the idea of Germany and Japan enjoying “amazing futuristic technology” compared to the US.

You have a very active imagination.

You also 100% missed the point I was making, which is that western countries like the US didn't lose the benefit of that technology. Nothing I said had anything to do with 1) saying other countries have relatively less technology or 2) being opposed to other countries having equivalent technology. Is it possible I have some kind of opinion on that? Maybe, but I didn't share it. If you want to know what I think about something, you could try asking me instead of just fabricating an alternate reality out of the ether.

With some exceptions (like trade embargoes, military secrets) if you can pay for it, you can get your hands on any technology that exists in the world.
