We have more homeless, more crime, and more wars, to start. We also have generally heavier humans, and we use more petrol per capita. We are definitely beating them on having less electric vehicles. We had a fight cage on the whiteHouse lawn. Our president is really orange, if that counts. We are definitely pissing off way more countries than they are. More Indians are angry at us than China, and there are a lot of Indians. I know if I keep thinking, I can find something significant....
Oh, and we definitely have them beat on diversity. We win easily there.
We don't produce much, so I know it's not that. Our education is pretty good at the top, but not so much at the bottom, and I am not sure if the top is mostly foreigners or natives, not that it would matter, cause I don't think it's education either. I think America has a larger gross domestic bicep? Probably. Ah! We had a bit more freedom during covid! And we abducted a sitting president. And we'll soon own Cuba, Greenland, and Mesopotamia. Our healthcare is way more expensive than theirs. No competition. Leading on many fronts.
But it's not a fair fight, cause they have more than twice our population. In few more years, we'll have 'em whipped on the homeless race, guaranteed - wait, we did that already. And we'll definitely be paying more for fuel, possibly food, and everything. Honestly, I don't think they stand a chance.
Seems like we could lead in AI development, and then immediately get trounced by economic factors. But yeah, autonomous cars, solar infrastructure, hell, general education.
The most frustrating one is Xi Jinping saying 房子是用来住的，不是用来炒的, or "Houses are for living, not for speculation."
How fucked is it that the CCP is leading the world in real estate policy.
That's the really crazy part to me as well. Like clearly you can do so much more on the software side, and the whole hyperscaler built out was driven purely by financial shell game decisions rather than technological necessity.
To be fair, does the US have a lead over China on anything anymore? Certainly not manufacturing, renewable energy, AI, or technology...

What's fucked up about it?
Good thing we spent so much money on data centers...oh wait.
