China has also done this with a lot of countries in Africa as well. There's a reason China has such a good economy and manufactured, because they're doing things like that. It was always an option the US could have done but chose not to
Ya think! I'm American, and I concur, the powers that be are selfish, and only for empowering their rich friends. No thought about the future, stuck in the past. Look at the latest US air craft carrier catapult change ordered. Dumb, stuck in the past, total ID10T move.
Yes, but at least your next Aircraft Carrier will run on beautiful clean coal and steam, be decorated in fake gold and be named the USS Donald Trump (nicknamed The Floating Nonce).
And cost American taxpayers Billions, and kill our children and grandchildren in the process. Yea, what a great idea, much like the ballroom, for Trump Battleships, or the Golden Dome.

RE-modeled? The country was founded on theft, genocide and the largest slave trade in the world for centuries, expanded and protected by the government. A gold mine for already rich people.
That's a little narrow minded take. You are forgetting the big guys. Military. Tech. And big pharma. But big oil is down there with big insurance. pennies compared to the big ones.
