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 85%+ chance of a bailout when the tech bubble pops.

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 economy for potentially decades.

I cannot even fathom how hard the economy would crash if large swaths of the workforce were illiterate.

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 the immense scale that the government is preemptively tackling a housing crisis.

GDP is it a useful measure? Maybe? Maybe not? What is your argument and how does the GDP numbers support it?

Financial surveillance would happen either way. It’s either from your government or to a foreign company, bundled and sold en mass.

This is presented as problematic, but I don’t think it’s a negative thing.

You wouldn’t want a foreign company with billions of dollars in their war chest in charge of your countries payment system.

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 is just a regressive tax on the working poor.
