  • It’s an artifact from the Cold War. The Soviets put money into the military and so did America but the Soviets added bodies and machines with their spending. America’s military used the money to fund far out ideas.

    But that also gave America the impression that far out thinking was the norm. The extra lengths Americans went to embrace their dreams meant things cost more but it was okay because they lived in an era of abundance. But that time has passed and the cost of that older lifestyle is no longer sustainable. We’re witnessing the shrinking of Anglosphere prosperity as it mirrors America. When each country hits bottom they will be forced to adopt more cost effective urban planning with transit to suit folks who don’t own cars. It’s just a matter of time.
