We could be driving electric cars and having solar panels everywhere.

We could be having the fastest wifi network.

We could have high speed trains.

Medical advances as well. I don't even want to go into the vaccine territory.

All of those things were considered problematic by the old guard, who conservatives supported. One side continues to protect the yacht owning class. Conservatives would still be fighting marijuana if the rest of the population didn't tell them to fuck off.

And if you think this is all wishy-washy speculation, get the fuck out of America for a minute and look around the rest of the world. American cities are no where near other international cities in terms of living, quality, tech, support. You have to be dumb as fuck to not recognize how often Conservatives vote against tech initiatives to line their own pockets.

If the same amount of passion and resources was poured into the space program for the last 50 years as it was during the moon landing we would certainly be much further ahead, but no one would be able to tell you where would we be.

How do expect someone to describe something that hasn’t been invented yet?
