@Phil The US has been destroyed from within by the neoliberal experiment that began in the 1970s and 1980s, and has worked to paralyze governance for the narrow and short-sighted interests of people, who like you, perceive burdens but deny benefits. 1/

@Phil The US will have to recover the capacity to actively govern and superintend its economy to become a hopeful outlier again. That will require investment in a capable state. Your path will bring "strength" to government only in policing, in crushing internal dissent. That is the worst kind of state. You will find that you, and your business, don't like it either. /fin
