I agree, but the timescale has to be over decades. People don’t adjust that quickly.

  We don’t have the time. Anyway the response to WW2 shows we can adjust quickly to change.

    Do you mean 20+ million dead and total destruction of several countries? Saying we “adjusted” after that is disingenuous to say the least.

      I imagine they’re referring to the complete retooling of the US economy for war production.

      I think your interpretation of what I said is disingenuous.
