> I think this is a win for national security. I don't think the government applying such levers to change how the market allocates capital probably won't be a win for economic output or quality of life.
National security and global freedom of navigation are essential preconditions for our current level of economic output and quality of life. In the long run, it’s not an either/or.
Well maybe your quality of life but for the common man in the US? There only seems to be hopelessness on the horizon. It makes you think, who are we really fighting for?
As someone who also feels like the future is trending downward, I hope we can at least get some crumbs from the top.
