Right on Sam Matey - excellent book review with so many pros and cons regarding the realistic atmosphere of why America tackling the climate crisis, our housing shortage, and how China can outrun America on building high speed rail points a big arrow to the bottlenecks which could explain the voters being so frustrated that so many didn't see the treachery and betrayal by Trump and his GOP before voting for him. Our future is now in quicksand exposed to the silent violence caused by Trump.
Our legacy media fell short reporting on the rebuilding of I-95 in PA back in June of 2023, but you mentioned the successful, ahead-of-schedule project that both Biden and Shapiro played key roles in the emergency response and rebuilding of the I-95 bridge. I remembered that the administration also worked with state and local partners to provide resources to those affected by the Philadelphia bridge collapse, including assisting small businesses and impacted workers - do you agree that our MSM could support America better in actively supporting the good news and the truthful bad news better with Americans? Thank you for your articles in your 'Weekly Anthropocene' journalism in Substack.
It’s been a minute since I read it; but I wouldn’t describe Abundance as a book which centered data. It proved its point by repeatedly looking at the qualitative results of expensive, big ticket progressive programs.

I liked the audiobook 'Abundance' too.
Well done!
Add wildfire to the long list of damages that NEPA and CEQA are doing.
Will return and restack tomorrow.

Sam this is so thorough and brilliant! Loved it, especially where you brought the punch to the numbers and dove into the "so whats"
Heaps of work gone into this. Very interesting. Thanks.

I found this perspective way more persuasive and on target.
