But overall. All of Asia, pretty much.

China has made a lot of progress with effective, cheap heavy battery/solar technology development, overtaking our Tech Bro engineering culture who are still spending most of their time being one dimensionally shallow and getting rich like they're living in an Ayn Rand novel.
But they aren't "there" yet.
Thanks to the 1880's based rich white Mediocre American Men culture that's been struggling to make itself a world-wide Plantation Economy.

I hate being in the position that I am so f'ing disgusted at the idiotic childish reactionary "diplomacy through swagger" short bus administration.

I don't want live in a zeitgeist where the World to be kicked around like a bouncing ball by a bunch privileged "adults" acting out like hyper, screen-addicted 5 year olds running around from one shiny to another shiny demanding that they be the leader and everything has to go their own way - oh, and they're pushing smaller kids around for ice cream truck money...

I don't want to feel shame for both my awful, childishly authoritarian leadership in thoughtlessly attacking other awful, childishly authoritarian administrations for no reason other than to kill them all and take their stuff, and their inability to recognize there's a very important greater world outside their desires that they, and us, rely on for all the "stuff" our civilization depends on that this threatens.
It's like trusting a psychotic 5 year old who's mad at Mommy and Daddy with a couple gallons of gasoline and lighters in the house.
