Does anybody here have an interest in macroeconomics?

Example of how with STS educational system no socialist-type country is possible.

I knew a guy who graduated in USA from West Point military academy. Very bright guy. Knew him in his 40-ies, he was a nice guy, worked for a great company , well paid, wrote poems etc. Maybe was on a little overweight side, but who isn't these days with sugar in 80% of all "foods". Somehow, could not get himself a wife. Just could not. Even tried dating foreign bride types etc. I think... when he was 48 or so, his father died, this was his only direct relative.

Now. In a normal country .... Military West Point graduate equivalent, would have 5-10 real , LIFETIME, friends, who are at the level of his, basically , combat / platoon guys. Basically who went through death with him. These guys would forever help each other out , in a normal country.

But he's in compartmentalized, individualized , STS type of system, so no real friends.

At his 50-ieth birthday, nobody showed up in the morning. I am sure people called etc.

The guy killed himself.
