@RnaudBertrand This is a contrast of systems: The short-term capital dominated US system has become self-destructive and is unable to solve problems, even existential ones. Thank God China has capital and industry under control and therefore can do actual problem-solving and public policy.

@dorianjharris @ecomarxi When I went to Israel, pretty much nobody that I talked to said they had flee for their lives. They liked the idea of a Jewish national project, or living on a kibbutz. Many still have family living safely in the US and Europe. Your claim is bonkers.
