The amount of harm this will do to the U.S. is incalculable: DJI's new
drones will not be available in the US as FCC ban takes effect

This is politics of the deepest bullsh*t. It is purely protectionism, there are NO actual
security concerns that have ever been demonstrated. This is going to vastly harm law
enforcement, search and rescue, fire protection, farmers, utilities, and others that
depend on DJI drones, for which there are no equivalent quality products at comparable
prices, and often at ANY prices.

And I'll note that this particular self-inflicted horror is pretty much at the hands
of BOTH political parties, who have degraded into morons on parade when it comes
to technology.
