Should have spent the money on bombs and missiles. Again, gusanos accidentally make China look based.

      Of course, but it’s the biggest problem in neoliberalism: everything must make a profit. They are btw aware of the paradox, just look how they privatised rail in UK or Poland. USians are currently making a step further, everything must bring a profit, and thus we see their infrastructure deteriorating rapidly.

      true, but the money required to build it doesn’t come out of nowhere.

        The US waste more on public military violence than the ~10 richest countries conbined, give tons of free taxpayer money to their oligarch from the authoritarian principles of “too big to fail” and “trickle down theory”, and bribe mainstream news to spread false information. If the US can maintain its economic superpower status despite its top world record of countries that waste the most public money, then I would not understand the opposition to the investment in public infrastructures that have short-term cost for long-term benefits to society.
