i had no idea about this being a "right wing excuse".
for me it's just a fact that in a high population, high wage, highly regulated society it's much harder to overhaul things radically than in a similar tiny nation. without some sort of a disaster (think WW2), it would be very hard to force everyone to switch from an entrenched system to a different one.
- bigmanwalter 7y agoEconomies of scale from the larger population and higher wages should make it easier. It is absolutely a right wing excuse.
- nathanonhn 7y agoI don't think that's true at all. Larger projects often fail in ways that smaller ones don't. This is true in technology as in society.
- kmlx 7y ago> Economies of scale from the larger population and higher wages should make it easier. how would it be easier to force 300 million people vs 5 million?
- notfromhere 7y agoNah, it's because 1/2 of the political system thinks the government doing anything is bad.
