Would have been cool to see Europe starting this seriously years ago, instead of titering and waiting for oil situation to explode. But at least it’s happening. Now I hear friends and family back home that were not into electric cars, now finally considering getting one. Now that even the availability of gas at station is not a given. Brighter future!
The United States is in decline. Has been a log while. It’s not just political propaganda. If anything Trump accelerated the process and made it more evident. And honestly, maybe that is a good thing.
The economy in the States is self cannibalizing, removing value to extract wealth from middle class, or sell nik naks to richer folks. There is not infostrucure for electricity, services. Everything is stuck to the 70s/80s. Look at the AI datacenters situation there. American companies are well deep into inshittification, and hardware manufactures are being rapidly outpaced by progress and development from their Chinese counterparts.
As an individual you have no rights, food kills you, health care is not existing unless you are in the golden path.
The amount of unhoused people is staggering, people that do actually have a job, but they are forced to live in a car. And worse part of it all? They could fix it. They could make it a great place. They have money, skills, resources to do so. But they decided to not do that. To allow rich folks to buy yet another island.
You can say a lot of things about China. But travel to their “rich” cities. Comprare them to USA’s ones. As see how prosperity really looks like.
