Oh, we did. We allowed the FIRE sector to gain control of the economy and had an explosion of urban sprawl circa 1970 still underway. Wrecking any idea of efficiency. Only the stupid believe that it was due to “attractiveness” to abandon the cities

To whose profit? Cui bono. Should be the question.

Once it’s understood that the purpose of this country is to squeeze every dollar out before collapse does the rest make sense. Domestic policy or foreign.

More than a century of the greatest wealth production ever seen, and all that Americans own today is debt.

Can’t even afford to start a family on one income. (“Family business? What’s that?”). There was quite a debate circa the Civil War era about whether it was right — whether it was American — for any of us to work for another. Funny how those shackles became unavoidable, huh?

“Climate change consensus” is just more crowd control. Your options menu. Red, or Green? Another new wrist shackle decoration. To go with your (all important) credit rating.

In debt you are born, and in debt you will die.
