• "It is not a successful model. The US debt in 2000 was 5 trillion. Now 25 years later it is approximately 37 trillion. The internet doesn't genetically make someone smarter nor will it modify a country's culture. The US is just being strip mined and I really can't find anything that has improved with that extra 30 trillion in debt. This will end poorly either with a world war or a collapse." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1w37iJCN
