Housing was another bubble, and those investors got bailed out. “Too big to fail”, I believe, is still the prevailing neoliberal wisdom. This is quite a large bubble and seemingly one of the only bright spots in the US economy. I give it a

It’s worth remembering that one of the reasons the electricity in Texas may be cheaper is due to not winterizing the grid and the lack of planning for deep freezes. Anyone else remember the black outs?

Many people love their cars, I love my car too. I hate traffic though, everyone hates traffic. That’s the problem with everyone loving cars. I love busses, bikes, and trains, so I use those as well.

Productivity in what sense? Education is literally a long term investment. As you stated, a local school district which may mean Pre-K through 12th grade (in the US) means that the children won’t be participating “productively” in the econo

It’s important to note the western myth of “ghost cities”. It goes that the cities were built and were never intended to be, and forever will be empty and unpopulated. It’s hard to imagine in the west just how fast china is urbanizing- and

I don’t understand this binary. The UK was able to create a near-instant bank transfer system without monopolizing in the same way. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster_Payments It costing more for instant transfers

The country is almost 340 million people. That’s 340,000,000 individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and geographies. They wake up every morning and go about their lives. Things like planes need to stay in the air, water needs to be clean, tr

The rich undoubtedly have class consciousness. They understand they gain when tax cuts are made and loans are given out. Then they turn around and propagandize against class consciousness for the rest of us. Unions need to make bigger a com

First of all none of this is legal- it’s all money that is appropriated. Secondly, this is a see-through attempt to further extend an already short staffed federal government in order to justify selling it off in pieces to the millionaire a

I’m sorry. Just one thing to clear up. Are you saying that the public at large that pays taxes are the parasite? Veterans seeing the doctor at their VA location are parasites? Is the clean air and clean water we drink, seat belt laws, cance
