We Used To Build Things. What Happened?
Summary
An essay arguing that the US has shifted from building and progress to veto-heavy governance, urging a return to abundance and growth through embracing technology and innovation. It uses historical examples (Panama Canal, TVA, Moon) and analyzes forces like NEPA, parklets, and cost disease to advocate supply-side progressivism and a shift in political framing toward enabling builders, including references to AI as part of the modern push for creation.
