This article doesn't really have any data or compelling arguments. It's just anecdotal data from a couple people that are saying they didn't expect the results.

Again, this isn't going to work for bulk grains like wheat and corn. I've seen plenty of permaculture type farms and they're fine for small stuff and vegetables and more of that is good. But it's not suitable for growing 50 million tons of wheat. Labor is already short and it will get worse.

That works for some things but not others. Less so for durable goods and chinas ppp advantage is steadily shrinking. And while they are trying to increase their high end goods the fact that their current military has never fought a war is a big anchor on them.

It also included money for the so called Golden dome, which won't be that great but will increase military readiness and number of missile interceptors.

Covercrop is still monoculture, monoculture isn't inherently bad. Ultimately it comes down to cost. Labor is limited and a lot of the stuff you're talking about are fine for small volume vegetables but you're not gonna get feed the world wheat yields from that.

Trees are good and general greenery too, but then you run into water issues which will be the limiting factor for a lot of stuff going forward as fresh water availability decreases and groundwater runs low.

Not exactly. Evs will be drastically cheaper to operate so they will try to use them as much as possible. The owners will push them and the drivers will try to avoid them when they have difficulty. Amazon doesn't like having variants, they prefer to have uniform vehicles that are identical. The point is that the people doing it don't have any choice in selecting the right tool and the people who do only look at spreadsheets.
