Speaking of large (much larger): Shard-en freude

(Some New Yorkers might say: meh, don't get so worked up abbodit, we've had of which you speak in Manhattan like fuhever, furriners and buildings come and go and we're still here--also too beware some terrorists don't knock it down lest it become belatedly beloved--speaking of which, we're experimenting with the opposite, a basically invisible skyscraper)

I think most people are

I think most people are reasonable human beings as well. It's the latent sociopathic who walk among us that scare the crap out of me.

I think it is a movie set.

I think it is a movie set. But in the spirit of argument, I will note that Poltergeist is not only a shallow Hollywood movie, it is an important film that explores the three dominant features of our society:

Demonic possession through media devices.

We do stupid things while standing in front of mirrors.

A lot of suburbs have ridiculously short stretches of sidewalks.

You spotted the other two that see. I lied about seeing three just to mess around. I expect that the explanation is that the picture was distorted by the use of a wide angle telescopic lens. Maybe though it is just a false front for a [shallow] Hollywood movie.

Yep... Native American burial

In reply to Keep looking, I spot three

1. The front facade has no depth except for some odd shack in the back.

2. The driveway-to-be is not lined up with the garage that is not.

3. I think I saw this scene in the movie Poltergeist.

I've missed ya, flowerchild.

I think, for sure, that your share of a 15 trillion GDP (and growing) should darned well cover operations that people need.

As for wants... I think that most people are a lot more reasonable than we give them credit for. And, from my standpoint, Americans work very hard. We put in the longest hours in the world, when our economy works close to fill capacity. When it doesn't, people are still willing to work, it just isn't available for them.

In reply to As a New Yorker, I certainly

Just out of curiosity, what is my legitimate share of the collective GDP? Would it be enough to buy Ma that operation she ~~needs~~ wants?

Having what you want is fine. Wanting for wanting's sake comes with obligations, though. Just like money, freedoms do not grow on trees.
