    “Trump wants fossil fuels and the United States is indeed a powerful petro-state,” Bremmer said. “But letting China become the world’s sole powerful electro-state is the opposite of making America great again … at least if you care about the future.”

    One thing i’ve come to understand is that america does not at all seem to care even the slightest bit about having a future. Which, in my opinion, is super weird because it says in the bible (that the christians revere so much) that “when your messiah comes [for the second time] and you happen to have a sapling in your hand, plant the sapling first, then go see the messiah”. Which means, especially if you consider it to be the “end times”, that doesn’t mean you should just not care about what happens after. You should still plant the tree, even if it takes 20 years for it to grow up and produce meaningful amounts of fruit.

    But i guess something about wanting to have a future is “communist” or something.
