The red philosophy of not solving problems hits home above. War was cost effective once, at least for the winner. We are learning with nukes, insurgency and proxy war that it is cost effective no longer. Elites think speculative booms are great. We are learning, some of us, not so great. Repairing or replacing bridges is prudent. We will get around to it someday. Likely, just after we get around to dealing with the environment.
