Making side projects isn't a trillion dollar industry tho, adding to the fact that we are facing another global supply chain crisis due to the Iran War; the US is about to commit the biggest self-own ever in the history of empire.

There are actually quite a few trillion dollar industries that exist thanks to "side projects".
Apple was Woz's side project, once upon a time. Adsense came from Google's 20% time. Social media started as a side project.
Forests grow from trees. Trees grow from seeds. More potential seeds = more potential forests.
The US has been on a course of self-owns ever since Trump got into office. That they still are a dominant power on the globe shows how much they were one before Trump, but it seems to be changing. At every self-own they commit, China laughs and inches up a little closer. I think we will see the day, when they are evenly matched in our lifetimes.
But which self-own exactly do you mean, of the many there are?
