Andy Kessler writes in his recent Wall Street Journal column that the United States is strong because people think differently, leading to new ideas and advancements. He emphasizes that individual perspectives on the present and future vary widely, which is beneficial for progress.
Kessler uses examples from the entertainment industry to illustrate his point. Chevy Chase turned down a role in Animal House for another film, while Donald Sutherland chose to negotiate for more money in a different way. Their decisions show that good choices aren’t always clear, highlighting a similar issue with U. S. politicians and their approach to TikTok. There is concern that TikTok could be used by the Chinese Communist Party for spying, but Kessler argues that data on Americans exists regardless and is already being sold globally.
He suggests that the interest from international producers in understanding Americans is positive because it enhances productivity. Disagreements among people lead to economic progress, which is why entrepreneurs thrive. Rather than banning TikTok, Kessler believes U. S. politicians should allow commerce to flow freely. He notes that the current market often sees big companies stumble, reminding us that predicting the future is difficult.
Kessler warns against using force against a competitor like TikTok, arguing that freedom is a better approach for fostering market innovation and understanding consumer needs.
