A comment on Japan has 33k businesses at least a century old. Parent comment

Our infrastructure lasted for 100 years. That was how I opened. How is that invisible?

Now it's being neglected. Sure I didn't say anything about that, because to me that is obvious.

The world is more than 1st-world advanced countries. I see a bunch of first-worlders going on about who's dick is bigger. Not a reasonable discussion about infrastructure; a venting about how our world-class technology is not keeping up with expanding demand. Essentially a complaint about our plenty, not being enough.

And this bit about 'going after people' is really ripe irony. I've been gentle and respectful. Never addressed other commenters directly, but just the topic. Got to consider that comment trolling at best.

But enough of that. Let the pedantry thrive, I've not got any ego in this game.

In writing, if you're truly trying to make your point across, never assume something is obvious. Obviously, no one is in your head to know what you know or presuppose.

Be generous with your readers and inform them of your moves. Again, if you're truly interested in making yourself clear.
