Sacrificing prosperity to harm the enemy. In India, when the population had a little more money, they quickly armed themselves in preparation for a conflict with Pakistan. In Russia, Putin is turning the West against him, threatens it, and hacks it rather than investing in and engaging in trade and tourism with the West. This money is not invested in public services such as schools or hospitals. This approach stands in stark contrast to Francis Fukuyama, author of The End of History, who believed that once everyone has a sufficient standard of living, there would be no more conflicts. Bertrand Russell wrote a theory of motivation stating that there is pleasure in exercising power, even if it means destroying rather than building. Fortunately, some other countries are choosing to improve the quality of life for their populations rather than seeking out enemies to fight. Translated with DeepL and Ollama translateGemma

Nebraska agriculture committee hears LB1188 to bar state real estate holdings in listed foreign adversaries; NIC warns of millions in transition costs LB1188 would update Nebraska's foreign-owned real estate national security statute and prohibit the state and its political subdivisions from holding interests in real estate in designated foreign adversary nations. Supporters framed the bill as a national-security and ethical safeguard for pension holders; the Nebraska Investment Council said implementing the bill as written would raise fees and incur roughly $5.64 million in transition and ongoing costs.

Nebraska is considering a bold move to protect public funds by barring state ownership of real estate in foreign adversary nations, but the transition could cost millions!
