    I know this might blow your mind but it is possible to build things in advance of demand and without a profit incentive

      The degree of capitalist indoctrination is so thorough that these people can’t even conceive of something not turning a profit and still being of value.

          He proposed of a possibility? Not a good one in my opinion, like planting an adult hedgehog into a womans womb and artificially inducing birth

            Implying that infrastructure building to grow economies is somehow alien and inefficient is exactly why the west is declining. Roosevelt era and Postwar America made a habit of it, then make a habit of privatizing everything and allowing private companies to siphon public money into their coffers and let infrastructure decay while expecting unlimited economic growth. The idea that this monster we’ve created is somehow efficient or sane vs building capacity for economic growth is incredibly dumb.
