This country has never gone > 10 years without a recession. I’m hoping for the cycle to provide more “opportunity” soon. Didn’t create it, but riding it or hoping for a buying opportunity isn’t shameful.
Also, I think some of the innovations coming out of Sillycu*t Valley like self-driving cars will be actively socially and environmentally harmful. So a crisis which delays innovation by a few decades would be useful.
Cheap fossil fuel prices + people incentivized to drive more because commuting from exurban ratholes becomes easy isn’t great. Plus the privacy aspects have not been sorted.
As far as America, I have no particular love for the place as a whole, though I do like certain parts of it.
