We will be long dead as China will have taken over the world if we implemented these policies and crippled our economy and military because of it.

    Sounds good. In the meantime I'll be taking an electric train to a brewery that is currently a 2hr drive from me since I'm no longer slaving away so that MIC executives can build planes that don't fly, for a war that isn't going to happen.

    You certainly won't be doing that in America lol. Unrealistic in the next 30 years at least.

    Have to keep going and ensure survival so that we can get to that point.

    The sheer aura of capitalism is so strong in this post.

    It's the only system that works (if you ignore the planned economy that has built 45,000km of high speed rail and has a home ownership rate of 90%+, and has more green energy production than the rest of the world combined)!! That's basic economics!!

    Jokes on you, I can actually already take a train from Chicago to Kalamazoo and enjoy a beer from Bell's Brewery. It's not a high-speed train to get there, but that can be upgraded if there was ever the desire to do so.
