> which do you think is better?

2). we already do it with other sectors where the US lagged behind as a country. But at least those companies aren't sucking up the US's resources directly then not paying for them (taxes).

The US has plenty of funding to bolster and talent to nurture. the next Google if tomorrow Google somehow got bought out by Bytedance.

>At least with option 1, the money is still being made in the USA

Not to the actual workers. Which is the primary problem.

>taxes are paid here

No, no they aren't.

> and the money is spent here for housing, food, cars

Taxes are not paid, therefore we have underdeveloped housing in urban areas, surging food prices (that would have gotten worse with a certain merger), and the "economy" car is now $30, 000 instead of 10 (and EV's are more expensive because government doesn't/can't make subsidies for EV's).
