      Yeah…but you can also make bricks, like, that would be a good argument if we were in any year before 1900, right now they mass produce 5nm CPUs in large scale and distribute them all over the world, but USA can’t produce bricks to use for houses…

        I agree that they should use something sturdier. But do note that bricks won’t survive entirely either. Brick walls can withstand the wind itself, but won’t do well against large chunks of debree flying into them at significant speeds.

        Absolutely correct.

        that would be a good argument if we were in any year before 1900 2100

        Fixed it for you

        USA can’t produce bricks to use for houses…

        What? Why the fuck not?? Has clay and shale become scheduled substances?
