Do you have a fuel cell car?

Not yet.

I wouldn't get one. Man made climate change is a hoax.

Fossil fuels demonstrably do not come from fossils.

Hydrogen fuel is less efficient than most energy sources.

Sorry bro...

I do feel sorry for China.

  • They were fooled into the one child policy.
  • They are fooled by the climate change hoax.
  • They are fooled into thinking they have no oil resources (even though nearly every major land mass and sea region on the planet had their own oil, they simply haven't drilled deep enough). Or they were smart enough to leave it there and not risk invasion by the oiligarchs..
  • They have been fooled into the economic enslavement of their people, who are on the verge of revolt.
  • They have been fooled into domestic spying on their people, so the Western Intel agencies can spy on them.

Even so, I admire China's methods of global diplomacy, in contrast to the US mode of hegemony.

I do feel sorry for China.

You shouldn't. They have not wasted trillions of dollars on useless wars over the last 20 years. Among other accomplishments, they have built the largest high speed rail network in the world in the time that the US has been in Afghanistan. That's trainsets, track, stations. The US has been -somehow- entangled in Syria, Ukraine and more.

They have been fooled into the economic enslavement of their people, who are on the verge of revolt.

Source?

Source is their housing and construction bubble, combined with the economy which demands 10% growth that is unsustainable. Their economy cannot self sustain, so they're chained to the US economy.

China has an aging population, and a much smaller youth population to care for the elderly.

There US has the advantage of being the world reserve currency, and it's estimated that the combination of the us government and US corporations in half of the world's wealth.

I also pity the US for it's wars fought for Israel, cause Israel can't fight them themselves.

US has the advantage of being the world reserve currency,

Hopefully this won't last much longer

[–]Tom_Bombadil 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

The US and it's corporations will still own half of the worlds wealth.

Rome was "wealthy" once too.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

True. But they never had half of global wealth.

They also had borders with other Empires.

The US controls the entirety of both coastal oceans. And had naval military bases strategically located attend the world.

There has only been a single unipolar hegemon.

It has incomparable economic, strategic, and geographical advantages.

There has never been an empire a powerful as the US in recorded human history.

Edit: This isn't to say that the US empire will last forever. However, comparable empires do not exist.
