Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

This is the time to do a *massive* upgrade to US infrastructure. Seriously, there should be a billion men rebuilding those railroad tracks to last 100 years.

That is a very good idea; a decent modern railway for commuting and freight would really be good for the USA.

Plus it would be an investment, not just giving money away, but using money for a long-term benefit, creating work and building a new infrastructure asset.

Far too smart an idea for anyone to actually do it, though.

one small problem

real, actual, like...existing on the material plane...steel

costs real money

you can't print steel

well, if you already have steel you can sinter small parts, but you know what I mean

Print the money to buy the steel instead of airdropping it on banks and (presumably) airlines etc. who will only buy their own stocks..?

China has the steel.

I rather doubt they are going to be taking our confetti much longer.

I see what you meant now. Fair point, you got me there. The Chinese are also probably the only lot that could actually build one on time and for a reasonable budget, too. But again, they'd want paying. With real money.

Well it was an idea that would have worked once - maybe if they'd done it in 2008, instead of fluffing the markets to keep the horn section playing.
