Immediate profit vs long term profit. Squiggly line must go up in the next 3 months. Who cares about in 30 years?
Everyone’s credit card is maxed out. The country’s debt is spiraling out of control. There is no more money to borrow from the present. Now it is time to put the future in debt by cutting back things like science and education. This will cripple the country on the long run, but who cares when that squiggly line is going up right now?
That has been going on for decades. Meanwhile China has been playing the long game and it is now reaping the benefits.
Turns out when profit becomes supreme everything suffers.
