    The worrying part is that they kinda seem to be implementing good policies for (at least some of) their people.

    There’s a lot of disturbing stuff, and probably a whole lot more that we don’t even know about, but social security, education, healthcare - my impression is that they’re going the right way, while the US looks eager to go back to the Dark ages.

    Just with STEM degrees, they’re producing almost 5x more graduates than the US, and they’ve surpassed the number of doctorates a long time ago too.

    The current world balance won’t hold one more generation.
