competition based proposed DJI ban

[RickDan]

This morning, 12/15/2024, an Illinois US congress representative appeared on Sunday Morning Futures in support of a DJI ban. He did mention some National security issues but went on to say that because DJI drones were inexpensive, it prevents US manufacturers from gaining ground in the consumer drone market. He went on to hint that US manufacturers would potentially receive some form of government support or incentive to develope consumer drones if a ban on DJI drones would occure. I have always suspected that the national security issue was a smoke screen, paving the way to eliminate competition. If there is, in fact, a National seccurity issue here and it can be shown to the American consumer, I would gladly gound my drone. The power of the congressional lobby is huge. The government should not be used to eliminate competition.

AND whos fault is that? Hmmm

He went on to hint that US manufacturers would potentially receive some form of government support or incentive to develope consumer drones if a ban on DJI drones would occure.

So He simply wants to hold business owners Hostage until he gets what he wants? These incentives and government support can be given without the Ban stipulation!

You have speculated wisely.

The government should not be used to eliminate competition.

They take care of the 1 percent and any foreign company making money here for anything is competition!
