Oddbean new post about login | logout I feel like we are giving our cleptocratic governments a little too much credit.
Nope. Facts. Truth. More to come. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤
They can't even keep our infrastructure maintained. Feds wouldn't be able to build the freeway system today.
Nope. That’s by design. They have no need to maintain the roads or give you comfort. Zero. It’s not in their mandate.
Neither are exotic earthquake machines and orbital superlasers. NASA can barely launch a rocket for anything less than a billion dollars. I have a hard time believing they could build anything all sci-fi. Their mandate is to ride the doller hegemony into the dirt and extract as much wealth as they can from us serfs until the music stops.
