      Questions EVERY state and small country should ask themselves: What do we have in abundance? What do we have that is scarce? How can we promote continuity IN PLACE? Are our children staying or leaving? Are the elderly staying or leave? Can they stay even if they wanted to?

      When is the last time we built a new strip mall? When is the last time we built a new village? What about a new city? What is in the budget right now that will last 5 years? What's it's value in 5 years? Is it an asset or a liability? Is it only an asset if we assume pop growth?

      When new people come here and stay, why do they do that? Same with leaving. We should know the answers. Another way of asking this: What provides our citizens with enduring fulfillment the longest?

      What's the ROI on our schools? Who are they FOR? The parents? Children? After schooling, do the children even stay in the state/country? If not, shouldn't we be alarmed that we spend a huge amount only to *export* them? (NH especially needs to ask: Why don't they stay?)

      What can we export more of? How can we increase the wealth and fame of our state? Smart people wonder this. Good families wonder this. Why don't states wonder it out loud? Why don't we have an answer, clear of platitudes?

      Why do people DO stuff? Why do they do new things? Why do they start families? Create wealth? Why aren't they doing those things here? What's stopping them, that maybe wasn't stopping them 100 years ago, or isn't stopping them elsewhere? What are the essential differences?

      How do we build culture, or the spirit of a place? How do we make sure citizens meet each other? How do we make sure entrepreneurs meet financiers? Make sure people meet new friends and lovers? How do we get people to cross paths, and feel like they are part of a place?

      How do we make our people feel like "home" is larger than just their house? How do we make people... identify with where they live?

      What are the works of our hands? What is our culture? is it... Netflix? Is our culture something determined in studios far away? What is the strongest unit of culture that keeps profit, or people, in-state? That makes people want to be here and travel here? Where is our pride?

      When is the last time a small country or city or other political jurisdiction seriously thought about these issues?

          There is zero incentive for them to think like this. Politicians don’t have stock options - their pay off is popularity, which shifts the incentive from profitability/user experience, to vote getting and pie-in-the-sky promise making.

          there's also zero incentive for people capable of thinking like this to go into local government instead of ad tech or whatever
