There is always a difference between condition A and condition B. It will be detected with careful enough measurement and/or large enough sample size (spend enough money). Unless you can predict what this difference is expected to be w

Why do you think that is weird? My understanding is that "mice studies" cost less than clinical trials, therefore more "mice studies" with (correct/incorrect) conclusions are created.

Not often. Actually there is an interesting distinction here between frequency and probability... but anyway there has recently been a ZIRP induced bubble (~2008-2016), which leads to high prices of various assets in a trickle down way: ht

Yep, also keep in mind that the "new money" trickles down. Ie, prices rise faster than wages.

I meant that in the US everyone expects the government will provide roads, and there are already many good roads to use for free (eg the Interstate Highway system). As a result, people are not willing to pay much for more roads, so they are

If taxes didn't fund roads, businesses would fund them to transport their stuff around. Since an empty road is wasteful, they would also likely be toll/subscription/customers-only based for whoever else. So you would need to
