Brightline is not even proper high-speed; it only reaches 200 km/h in one section, and it utilizes old freight tracks for a significant portion of its route, it's full of level crossings that kills old people, and it's not electrified. Basically, they built stations, upgraded a couple of signals, and were handed $3 billion for it.
How could the a-holes in DC look at this kind of third world bs and continue to claim that this is the best economy since the invention of economy? Utter shamelessness…
While the US economy has been better in the past relative to itself, I think it earns well it's current position in the world. If US isn't 2nd best, then who would be? EU? Russia? India?? Japan?? Every potential contender is actually much worse and far less resilient than US.
Comparing to China isn't fully fair for US. China having much less corrupt government (vs more or less every single major economy, only matched or exceeded in government efficiency by tiny states with high social trust) and the by far largest educated + middle class population, just makes it not a comparison.
Though if China decides to go to war against the dollar, I could see India eventually surpassing US in sheer size.
It is the best economy. Just not for you and the other 95% of America. Not to mention, a lot of these policies are what their voter base wanted. 0% progressive, 100% woke policies. Win-win situation for them. They got the bread and everyone wanted the circus.
Vietnam basically copy-pastes Chinese gov policies (sometimes word by word lol).
Thats a real cheat when you compare how the rest of the world behaves. Why bother to reinvent the wheel when your immediate neighbor has already done all the hard work (policy experimentation, failures, successes, rewards/punishments etc). They can basically tap into the vast Chinese bureaucratic and party experience.
Leave it to Philippines to think themselves superior to the CPC and State Council. For sure they have better political, economic, government, bureacracy and anti-corruption experience...
the word resilient means ability to sustain when things breaks down like growing food and help each other in society. in US the hispanic may be more resilient than the rest. generally more urbanized mix society is less resilient.
when recently Putin had election candidate nomination. there was military commander in Green speak for him in convention.
