oh, and here’s a great article about the impending economic disaster in China due to high-speed rail debt:

is that what you’d like to see happen in the U.S.?
Yes that is a good article.
I don’t want anything bad to happen to the USA. Which is my point, and why I am so very frustrated by all the rah-rah ignorance. If you are driving a POS clunker, you don’t pretend that it is a Bentley do you?
America has some real to goodness problems.
The article is pointing out that the time has come, in America, that the level of corruption has reach a peak inefficiency. It is at a point where large capital projects are no longer possible in the USA. The government is that inefficient.
I don’t know what is going to happen in the future. I do not know.
What I do know is that America has a very serious spending problem, and it needs to be resolved soon. I argue that the money wasted on 8 wars could have been used to implement HSR all over the USA by now. But we didn’t do that. We threw them away... burned them in really third-world nations.
Meanwhile, here is China. They are not involved in massive wars all over the world. They are not giving money to third-world dictators. Instead, they are using that money domestically. One of the things that they are doing is the HSR. And it IS IMPRESSIVE.
Hey! In the big picture you can listen or not. Do or not. Your life is up to you. I’m just telling youse guys that America has a short... a very short... breathing room with Trump, and then the entire downward cycle will restart in all of it’s Obama glory.
