And it's not like the US couldn't compete and prevail, but looting is so much easier.
Huntn00@ferricoxide @hstone519 At this point with an entrenched wealth and capitalist system, our economy is sinking. Disenfranchisement by the overlords, call it looting, is viewed as the only viable option. The entrenched powers will never voluntarily give up their wealth to fix our society. Social unrest has been building for 40 years. Look for a breaking point when cities start unraveling. I’m not about to say this will happen tomorrow, but there’s a clear trend.

I probably should have said "could have competed". Instead, the "investor" class saw Enron as the basis for an economy and everything became about easy, short term wealth multipliers rather than building to ensure a lifetime income. But, innovation is a lot harder than criming, so here we are.

@ferricoxide @hstone519 We are very susceptible to selfishness and cheating to win. It’s our burden to overcome.
