大公司是否毁了世界？
似乎我们过于依赖少数几家公司的工作和生产力。全球有80亿人，但只有少数几个国家拥有良好的法治、优秀的大学和支持当地生产力的企业；一些国家因移民涌向少数生产力中心而保持低失业率。
与其将80亿人口挤入少数几个国家，不如在当地法治、基础设施、研发、教育、大学和企业上进行更多投资。成功的国家拥有强烈的社区意识和文化，因此不太可能腐败。
对于某些地方，这是否意味着需要更多的开源投资和本地采购？我认为是的。原则应该是尽可能多地购买本地产品。
我为什么现在要说这些？因为最近大规模裁员的原因并不是人工智能，而是由于美国关税导致的经营成本增加。但没有人会说出这个原因，因为担心报复。
美国的失业影响将逐渐显现，随着美国消费者需求的减少，其他国家也会出现大规模裁员。因此，我只能得出结论，一些经济体与大型企业之间形成的寄生关系是问题所在。你的主要进口不应该是劳动力。要在本地建设，购买本地产品，保持本地发展。但这只有在法治和可控腐败水平的情况下，才能在平均水平上改善生活质量。
也许这意味着要让事情变得更低技术化。大型企业是否在破坏世界的同时，所提供的价值却不如预期？我对此尚未决定。也许只有大型制药公司在全球范围内改善生活质量方面发挥了作用。

It seems there is over reliance on the jobs and productivity centered around the activity of a handful of companies.<p>There are 8B people in the world, but only a handful of countries with good rule of law, good universities, and businesses which support local productivity; some countries maintain low unemployment because of immigration to a handful of productivity centers.<p>Better than cramming 8B world population into a handful of countries, there needs to be more investment in local rule of law, local infrastructure, local R&D, local education, local universities, and local businesses. Successful countries have a strong sense of community and culture, and so are less likely to become corrupt.<p>For some places, does that mean more open source investment and buying locally? I think so. Rule of thumb should be buy local as much as you can.<p>Why am I saying this now? Because the reason behind the recent mass layoffs isn’t AI, it’s increased cost of doing business due to US tariffs. But no one will say that because of fear of retaliation.<p>The effect from American job losses will trickle out as American consumer demand lessens, and then there will be layoffs in other countries at massive scale. So I can only conclude that the parasitic relationship some economies have developed with Big Cap is the problem. Your main import shouldn’t be workers. Build local, buy local, stay local. But that will only result in a better quality of life on average if there’s rule of law and manageable levels of corruption.<p>Maybe some of this means making things more low tech. Are big caps ruining the world more than the value they provide? I am undecided. Maybe only Big Pharma has been useful for improving quality of life on a global scale.
