Hi there, the only thing that has grown bigger and faster is the debt the cities used to build it with. But spectacular none the less, thanks for the post.
silverbug
exactly right, all a product of the paper fiat based ponzi scheme. One important component of keeping this going, was to have more people entering the system to keep it afloat. Once credit contracts the system is on the verge of falling apart, hence we go to phoney wars with bogeymen. It is truly debt and death paradigm. One that will end badly. Thanks for your comment.
Hey not to worry, just save your gold,silver and crypto and one day you can buy one of those buildings. lol
Amazing dude, you live up to your name for sure
Thanks Corvo ! You're too kind Bro.
economic booms are not something the low earning citizens want. they just need basic things like food and shelter. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/cnainsider/ploughing-on-the-faces-and-insecurities-of-singapore-s-elderly-8824490
Their GDP has increased whilst Western Worlds has decreased. I understand that there is many poor without even the basics. But in 500years cycle of wealth transitioning from East to West and now back again, this will come in time. Unfortunately, it is a low burn. But the situation is a lot better than 50years ago. The main question is, what is the limit to this growth ? is it sustainable?
I think mankinds evolutionary path will need to change as we have to look above and beyond the skies in this coming century. Life is flawed but because of that, it is also beautiful. Thank you !
I understand the question and think about it also. I remember this from a few years ago, the 2nd law of thermodynamics ..
Thanks Corvo for sharing, certainly we are at the crossroads. Our demise has been sped up with endless credit creation which allows us to consume more than we produce thus borrowing from into the future. Like all credit, it will be paid back in one form or another. Most like with economic, social and environmental disaster. Just my opinion.
I understand, but don't ever forget about credit used wisely by some people, to profit and prosper, to thrive in the future. And pay it forward, with love hope & pride. It's not too late!
I agree 100% i was referring to Government/public credit imbalances not private, to better mankind.
Corvo, history shows us to start something new, mankind, always prefers to destroy first. Hope i am wrong.
