        Right like one thing that jumped out at me was complaining about schools being more diverse or whatever. Somebody should tell him that yeah China actually does make it easier for ethnic minorities to get into better schools (you literally get some amount of points added to your entrance exam scores) because actually making opportunity available to everybody in a somewhat equitable fashion is really important to building a strong society.

        Wasn't a big reason California couldn't build any rail because of NIMBYISM by property developers and big agriculture? Like I get some of the liberal cancel culture stuff is stupid, but it should be glaringly obvious what is actually preventing development in the US.

          Yes the reason California can't build a real high speed rail network is because markets are irrational and because all landlords are bastards.
