Lawyers can be good too!
having worked with nothing but engineers my entire life, keep those psychopaths away from all positions of authority
I mean, at least those examples (which, he does not explain why they are bad) actually do exist in real life, you know. As opposed to like the US where I goes ,you could post a stroad? That’s very USian. Also, he does even post anything his prefered kind of goverment has build. It’s just taken for granted.
(Also, his cathegories are shit, and what tf is “innovative benefit”, how will that feed me?)
How do you look at infrastructure and say, “that’s bad, actually.”?
Because the capitalists aren’t allowed to exploit it for profit
Bad infrastructure is infrastructure for trains, ie. for poor people.
Good infrastructure is when highway.
Me, looking at a country that went from being one of the most impoverished places on earth to being a technological and industrial superpower within a human lifetime: “Man, those people can’t govern for shit.”
Tbf the US may as well be governed by aerospace engineers lol. Lord knows they get more money for killing poor people than most cities get for infrastructure. Unethical hacks lol
little innovative benefit
ie building tech that works now instead of waiting for VCs to fund gadgetbahns
Imagine a government not run by lawyers…
it’s a state run by capitalist vs a state run by communists, no lawyer no engineer nonsense
People are so used to the US government being the party scene from Society (1989) that they forget how governance works
I mean, there is a pretty big differences in how a lawyer run society tends to solve social issues and how an engineer run society tries to solve issues. In my country, most of our parliament is lawyers, and they try to solve every issue with either more detailed legislation (a favourite of theirs, just after complaining that legislation has gone too far and needs to be cut back) or with more/heavier enforcement. From what I can read about other countries dominated by lawyers and libs, they tend to see things the same way. In China, the people that run the country tend to have a lot of engineering education / experience, so they usually try to avoid using cops / legislation to solve social issues, and instead try to nudge people through infrastructure instead. From what i can see in videos, China seems to have taken a smarter approach to traffic and congestion than most western countries.
Ultimately you need both. You need to have simple, clear policies and open and fair enforcement of those policies (Say what you are going to do and do what you said you were going to do), and then also invest in the physical infrastructure to accommodate those policies.
This has been a thing in well-run manufacturing plants for years. The key is to change the ownership structure and eliminate the ideas of infinite growth and rising profits.
we need a government run by engineers like 
not like that! 
I mean, where the hell are the highway widening projects? How do you expect to innovate transportation if you’re not adding that one more lane that will eliminate congestion?
China has you covered on that too
yeah, in a government run by lawyers, all the innovation is finding ways to craft legislation and plaintiffs so all that ever happens is paid attorneys talking passed each other in front of former attorneys, who are waiting for the moment to insert their ideology into a decision.
I’d rather have a giant public works project to go look at, not to mention, all the people who got paid to build it aren’t asshole lawyers.
I’d take a million Rudy Giulianis and Alan Dershowitzs over ONE Xi any day.
I agree. Can you imagine how much evil the US could accomplish if it weren’t for the one million clones of Rudy Giuliani and Alan Dershowitz who are somehow all fighting each other?
