I should have listed the urban development in Oklahoma City happening. It is just small 3k people urban district near downtown. https://www.wheelerdistrict.com But it is basically a town built by a rich family right next to the

The Woodlands, TX is the closest thing in the US. 2,500 people/sqmi 100k town outside of Houston. Started in 1974. At least as far as large scale current corporate city developments.

Oklahoma City has a small but strong Biotech and medical device scene ($6.7B Revenue, $2.2B salaries for a workforce of 51,000). Even then most companies in OKC raise money in SF & Boston and either have an office there or move back and

Warning this is coming from someone highly involved in Oklahoma politics. Oklahoma towns and cities tends to be more community centered. This may be do to a lack of money in a community or physical isolation from the rest of the country. Bu

Maybe I was thinking of Steinbeck when I wrote that who knows. So good catch and thanks. I am pro individualism as it helps people define themselves. But as you pointed out when it is turned into a zero sum game of getting ahead in an alrea

Perfect point Uber is paying them and they play video games. (I love games, and the US is a wealthy country across the board so it does not surprise me that men are enjoying more leisure time at a younger age.) I am pro more video games.

So the rumor is Goldman Sachs got out of the financial crash first because their systems saw the market move before anyone else. I don't know if that is apocrypha, but it is more to the point Google would not be predicting the market,
