Quote from: crazy canuck on February 11, 2025, 03:01:33 PMYou assumed a world in which you did not have your current privileges to make the point that you could have been drafted, then you assume you do have your current privileges to make the point that the economic mobility of the 70s would not have mattered to you, because you would have made it anyway. There is some inconsistency occuring.
Quote from: crazy canuck on February 11, 2025, 03:01:33 PMI too have been very lucky. I did not benefit from the social mobility of the 70s because I was too young. But in the 80s I was still able to make it out of poverty, really only due to a bunch of luck, and being 6'7'' with an ability to play with a round ball. Even though things have worked out quite well for me individually, I can still appreciate the fact that the 70s were much better economically for the vast majority of the population than afterward.
Quote from: viper37 on February 12, 2025, 08:33:38 PMI do not see them as bad faith questions.
You see Europe as freeriding on defense. Your own definition does not meet reality.
Some countries are spending more than the US. The US is reducing its military expenses while others are increasing it, that's closing the gap in my mind.
You maintain base in Europe as projection in power because a stable world is better for US commerce. US does not have friends, it has interests. Not my words.
Each time a rival gets stronger, the US lose.
If you want one or two question, again, was the US richer in 1931 or 1961?
For one more, if you were a time traveler, would you prefer to live in 1931 Georgia or 1961 New York and why?

And plan for it.
