I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.
It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world’s population.
Not to deny anything, but we make it out as if Science was a thing.
Science is people. It's what they do, it's who they are.
It's time to admit the USA is dead, for every reason it was once alive and great. Science will continue because you can't imprison a mind. But this system, whatever it was, whatever it stood for, it won't go back when we say so.
We'll see. PRC is in planet-busting trouble if their shadow banking system goes under. A financial black hole will open under Shanghai and suck a good deal of the world in. PRC-style capitalism will come to a bad end, as the Japanese Collapse of the 1990s

PRC forces its provinces to borrow money for them.
"To borrow money is glorious."
@tuban_muzuru @LordCaramac @davidho provincial debt is real, but i believe the sum of their provincial and national debts is still less than US national debt (albeit comparable). I doubt that so much of their infrastructure is made of tofu that they're worse off than our aging petrochemical guzzling logistics backbone
Would be neat if our debt crisis wasn't being made unnecessarily worse while the petrodollar gets further undermined by Iran trading in yuan... Maybe the inflation will save us 😂
