A great line from a Prime Minister of Singapore was "there's no problem [Singapore] is facing that another country hasn't already faced. Find their solution and copy it."I'm just cynical and expect that we'll implement those ideas terribly, and we'll probably be better off 'evolving' something rather than transplanting something from an incompatible donor. For example I like the types of nationalized health care found in Japan and Singapore. However I fear if we try to implement it, we're more likely to get USSR and Venezuela quality rather than Asian quality. Look at what happens when we try to copy European style high speed rail. Billions upon billions spent and the closest things we currently have are a slight evolution of the PRR [success], Euro-style trainsets transplanted to the Pacific Northwest (not living up to their potential at all), and a private-sector derived option built to fit the realities of US regulatory structure [Brightline, success]. |
