“Material things like European and Chinese infrastructure are definitely fake, the numbers on American bank accounts are definitely real”
Cosmopolitan Reactionary@cosmorxn

I’m seeing this sentiment quite a bit, but I think it fundamentally misunderstands how people perceive wealth in the 21st century. Much of America’s wealth is effectively invisible. The country can lose billions through waste, inefficiency, or corruption and barely notice the impact (the Somali Minnesota daycare scandal is one example). Wealth is reflected less in visible infrastructure and more in things like high salaries, retirement security, and access to the world’s most advanced healthcare. Football fans aren’t necessarily going to be impressed by those things because they are difficult to see. Most Europeans have little idea how wealthy Americans actually are. Walking around New York, for example, they are likely to see cities that feel familiar in many ways: older buildings, historic neighbourhoods, and dense urban environments similar to European ones, albeit with more skyscrapers. Even the huge stadiums, while visually impressive, may strike some visitors as more extravagant than evidence of everyday prosperity. They are also going to use subways full of graffiti, crazy people, rats, and fare dodgers. A useful comparison is China. Someone visiting a Chinese city might come away thinking China is exceptionally wealthy because of its infrastructure: the modern airports, high-speed rail, and newly built urban areas (pictured). But they would be drawing conclusions from what is most visible rather than from the underlying reality. China remains significantly poorer than the United States on a per capita basis. In both cases, the average person is misled by what they see.

The greatest gift the Soviets gave Eastern Europe was making them too poor to join in on the West's mass migration experiment. Eastern Europe just needs to hold on for 1-3 decades for affordable humanoid robots and AI to render low and mid skill migration permanently unnecessary. My ideas on how to 'survive' that 1-3 decades: x.com/MacroJason/sta…

'Serbia will likely become the first country in Europe to produce humanoid robots. The plan is that by 2030 Serbia will have 50 factories where humans and robots will work together, with investments in these facilities amounting to hundreds of millions of euros.' - Vucic Serbia is one of the only 3 countries in Europe with a free trade agreement with China. Non EU Balkan countries also got much higher foreign direct investment than EU countries like Poland and Romania: x.com/MacroJason/sta… Thanks @bibo_247 for the heads up about Agibot!

It would be funny if it wasn't so serious. Police officers responded to a scene where shooting had been reported. They asked a guy if he had a gun. He said no, the officers asked him to "hike his pants." The guy had a .40 calibre pistol that had been stolen from an FBI agent's car two months earlier. The lower court threw out the guy's conviction on the grounds that he should have been able to walk away from the cops, but didn't because he is black and had reason to be afraid - he felt "compelled." So even though he cooperated with the cops and the gun was found - no can prosecute. The cops did their job, found a stolen pistol, probably prevented some future crime - but SCOTUS basically sides with the thief.
SCOTUS Wire@scotus_wire

🚨 The Supreme Court left in place a ruling that courts may consider the lived experiences associated with a suspect's race when determining whether a reasonable Black person would feel free to leave a police encounter. Justice Alito dissented, joined by Justice Thomas.

Boomers are the first generation in history to basically not give the slightest damn about leaving any wealth for their children.

My main recollections of Starmer are that he won a fairly sizable electoral result and immediately tried to make heating more expensive for old people before pivoting to making policy based on a Netflix original television show.
