I think that every 10-12 years for the last 100 years, corporations and not Congress control or manipulate the GDP and wages, and supply of goods for world. In Switzerland every year, the richest people in the world control what is going to happen over the next 5-10 years. Governments are pawns in their game. When you correlate a few thousands coincidences of data you will see a pattern of how if world hunger were solved, food prices would either skyrocket or plummet affecting global food market chains.
If half the country or more would go to solar or wind, the prices of energy would remain the same, with profits for the same skyrocketing, unless you are off that grid. Transportation industry is weird, when you compare China and India, India has a primitive trains system compared to China,
China has extra housing, while India still has cities that have buildings, and homes over 50-100 years old.
The only reason that Japan kicked our butt in the 1980’s for car companies, it because we nuked two cities, allowing them to rebuild new modern cities. I call it the revenge of Nagasaki!
Japan
exploited that to modernize cities that would have otherwise never updated.
India’s religious culture is similar in that
the revere the past so much that it
hampers their ability to modernize their infrastructure, food generation,
energy supply, and transportation. Their politics of a pure democracy along
with great corporate influence hampers the development of updating water, and
sewage treatment plants as the population ever grows. Population density is an
issue, reliable food and water supplies are critical, everyone knows it but nothing
changes, or those changes take more time in less democratic societies. How do
we balance between a democracy, where peoples voices are heard, versus others
where none has anything heard, and a democracy that too many voices on every
subject keep progress from happening.
