American (Relative) Decline Would Be a Good Thing?
- te_platt 16y agoI have a little brother who made all sorts of bad decisions that left him in a bad financial situation. A few times I lent him some money. Eventually he pulled through, started a business and is now making significantly more than I am. Rationally and personally I think that is awesome. Still, sometimes I get a bit jealous. I mean he's my LITTLE brother. He's better off, I'm better off (I even do some work for him now) but worse of relative to him. I liked how this article is just a little reminder that other countries doing well does not come at our expense but to our benefit.
