Why do so many of my fellow Americans hate infrastructure so much? Genuine question? I didn’t play that many city building games but intuitively roads are one of the first things you build?

This should be the most mindblowingly significant storyline of 2023, that India’s population will surpass China in mid April. There are hundreds of stories to be told, nuances & implications of this to be unearthed, this alone can be a whole journalism beat or two by itself.

Everyone is saying the "VC freeze" is just at Series A and beyond.
