    Its interesting how the developed world thinks it can consume its way out of economic downturns and nations like China think they can produce their way out of one.

    Downturn in the US? Make it rain. Downturn in China? Increase output.

        Probably right. I wonder if anyone has looked into the results of doubling down on what you are already we’re doing before to solve economic slowdowns.

      Anything to keep rich people richer as long as possible.

      Remember, the solution is always to consume more.

      Making it rain seems to be the better option
