Reply to comment by EthanSayfo in Baltimore mayor vetoes bill that would make city officials pension eligible after 8 years instead of 12 by PleaseBmoreCharming

China’s far from perfect, and pretty shitty in many ways after liberalization; but let’s not pretend the US wouldn’t be in a vastly better place had we spent the last decade or two doing Belt & Road shit instead letting out infrastructure dissolve lol.

I have many, many qualms with my country, its leadership, core economic principles, I could go on, and on, and on. I have been really clear about how stacked it is since I was pretty young, and I am definitely less young now (not old!)

I just don't see cryptocurrencies, as realized for the most part, as the solution to these problems. I think it's actually another problem, and we need less problems.
