@yogthos There's absolutely nothing "inane" about it. Was having an extensive convo about the long run of building infrastructure... China's community-destroying 'ring cities', good for industry at human's expense, and other topics regarding western sinophile's 'shiny shit' fetish yesterday. You should it.
And if you haven't, read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_in_Suits. It's NOT JUST relevant to crapitalism, albeit China's bastardized V is STILL crapitalism. Mao is rolling in his grave.
