The Soviets produced many more engineers than the United States throughout the entirety of the cold war. Today it's India and China. Same old story. I don't think it really matters.
Uh huh, yea, except oil, natural gas and mining make up less than 10% of the Texas GDP. Texas already experienced a recession due to dependence on oil, and did a good job diversifying.
